3.5 out of 5 starsHelpfulness

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Bring any clothes or shoes you might need. There are no foreign brands available here, except for fake stuff mainly suited to middle-aged or elderly, short people.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: We haven't specifically looked for anything, but judging by the poor availability of foreign and many mainstream Chinese brands in hotels and around the tourist areas, bring everything you might need.

Photo Equipment: Film choice seems very limited here. B&W forget it. I haven't seen any slide film. Kodak Gold 100 available everywhere if you call that film. Fuji seen also. Several out-of-date films seen!

Camping/Beach/Outdoor Gear: Bring everything you might need. There is probably a camping shop in Sanya city, but don't depend on it.

Miscellaneous: If you need the following, we haven't seen it (or have seen it only rarely):
- Nescafe (even the Nescafe 2+1 sachets so ubiquitous elsewhere in China), Coffeemate
- foreign brand cigarettes and chocolates
- maps

Sanya - the end of the world

 The tourism authorities in Sanya haven't been to Hawaii. If they had, they wouldn't ram the mantra "it's just like Hawaii" down your throats constantly. It's not like Hawaii. It never has been, and it...

 The beach along this bay is 7Km in length and even during Chinese New Year most of it was deserted; nothing like Florida or Mexico where you may have to fight to find a square for your towel. There's...

A clean tropical city

 Located at the southern tip of hainan island, about at the same latitude as hawaii. Sanya's air is much cleaner in comparism to most other cities in china.
