Summer is here, spring is gone. In many places it’s hot. Really hot. Not surprisingly, we look to the beach for some relief from the sun, or look for the sun after a long winter’s hibernation behind a desk. Well, time to strike out a bit and use up some of that vacation time you’ve been squirreling away. Here are some suggestions that should get you salivating for a little summer fun.
 
Surf in Hainan, China
 
Surfing in Hainan, the "China’s Hawaii".
 
Speaking of Hainan, why not go surfing? Hainan Island, sometimes called, perhaps generously, "China’s Hawaii," is a growing tourist destination off the country’s southern coast, just east of Vietnam. It’s famous for hosting Chinese beauty pageants, but is also home to a small but growing community of surfers — both Chinese and foreign. Each November, Sanya, the island’s capital, hosts the second annual Surfing Hainan Open. Check out Hainan Adventures for surf lessons and travel packages.
