Onwards from Zhuhai to the Hai An - Haikou ferry to cross the Qiongzhou Strait over to Hainan Island.

Tight security at the Hai An ferry terminal incl. SWAT, Police, Army, Navy and a whole bunch of rather large sized sniffer dogs going over all the vehicles, luggage, travellers....
Well ~ time of the year again = BOAO Forum: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boao_Forum_for_Asia



Taking the MTS for a cruise up to Haikou from Clearwater Bay with a few stopovers along the route.



First stop at a nearby active fishing port near Nanwan Monkey Island: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nanwan_Monkey_Island and Chinese website: http://www.monkeyisland.com.cn

Further up the road = Lingshui Corner (Lingshui Cape) with some deserted stretches of beaches in the area.
Been here before with the JL's 600 (solo / sidecar) but need to hike into the area from the road as deep sandy single tracks now and the MTS doesn't perform well on that particular terrain due to tyres...

Heading along the coast to Shimei Bay + Riyue Bay area.

Beautiful state of the art marina at Shimei Bay operational now, just a short ride up from Riyue Bay but access was blocked off by heavy security, might have something to do with the big international forum (BOAO).
Shimei Bay International Marina Club: http://shimeibaymarinaclub.com/en/













Detour and a short ride back down the G98 Expressway to Riyue Bay and the Riyue Bay Surf Club: http://www.surfinghainan.com ,the original American owner and operator sold the surf business and moved on to Guangdong province.
The place went through a bit of remodelling and restructuring since my last visit.

Staying for a couple of days, Hainan Island capital city Haikou:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haikou

New development going on all around and that includes the area near Mission Hills Golf Course Haikou http://www.missionhillschina.com/en-US/haikou with a new China movie town: http://movietownhaikou.com/en-us/ and the Lan Kwai Fong Entertainment and hotel district: http://www.missionhillslkf.com/en-us/

Anyhow, finished my errands and meetings and next destination, the old part of Haikou.
The police and traffic authorities enforced the motorbike riding ban all over downtown Haikou due to the annual BOAO Forum for Asia and took a mates car, nothing to proof anymore and avoiding lengthy arguments with a cop in China is best sometimes to enjoy the upcoming ride back South....

Haikou, Zhongshan Road, the area was used by the Portuguese in the 1800's.

The ride back down South from Haikou along the National Road G314.













Daguangba Dam Reservoir besides the G314 National Road http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daguangba_Dam
The Daguangba Dam is a multi-purpose dam on the Changhua River in Hainan Province, China. It is located 35km east of Dongfang. As the primary component of the Daguangba Multipurpose Project, the dam was constructed between 1990 and 1995.
It serves to provide water for both hydroelectric power generation and agriculture. It supports a 240 MW power station and supplies water for the irrigation of 12,700ha. It is also the largest dam and hydroelectric power station in Hainan.



























The famous Wuzhishan Monument just of the S313 Provincial Road, a personal must stopover for years....







Wuzhishan Monument / GPS: 18°55'46.6"N 109°28'13.5"E and Google Maps = https://goo.gl/maps/D95KJ

As always, the final ride comes around and cruising over to the Yalong Bay / Sunny Bay area with five star hotels all over the area: Ritz-Carlton, Andaz, Holiday Inn, St.Regis, Hilton, MGM Grand, Marriott, Sheraton, Park Hyatt, Pullman just to name a few....

















Packed everything up for the drive up North back to the Shanghai home base via ferry boat from Haikou (Hainan / Nangang Harbour) to Hai'An (Guangdong).
Haikou has two seaports for passenger and cargo service. Haikou New Port, formerly known as the Inner Harbour, is located on the southern side of the mouth of the Haidian River.
Approximately 7km west of Haikou New Port is Haikou Xiuying Port. This port is considerably larger, and is the main distribution centre for cargo entering Hainan, and is also a major port for immigration onto Hainan Island.

Haikou Ports / Harbours

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haikou_Xiuying_Port



























More Hainan Island cruising and various other activities planned for 2015.... stay tuned....

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
