| HAINAN ISLAND | |
| Overview Hainan Province, called "Qiong" for short, is situated in the southernmost of China. Haikou is its capital. Actually it's a big island just like Taiwan and Japan, Since tourism is the major tax income of this island which is bigger than Taiwan, The local government adapt a series of policies to boost tourism industry which include opening policy to prostitution. As a result of this, many hookers go to this island to look for their fortune, the flow of hookers from every corner of mainland China makes this island a paradise for "sexcursion". Men go to Hainan for the following reasons: A variety of girls with the lowest price in China. No harassment by cops. or inspectors. Lodgings are cheap; how about a 3-4 star hotel for $20-$40. Fresh air, un-polluted seashores and delicious seafood....what are you waiting for? There are other cities, towns and designated areas that have prostitution on Hainan Island besides the City of Haikou. To go to these places you will have to take a bus or taxi to visit them. See below for that information. Women Construction Street" or "Chicken Road". This is a very bustling area with a lot of shops and street venders. Approximately every 2nd or 3rd storefront has a little shop with 3 to 10 girls hanging out. There must be between 50 and 100 of these places. Inside some of the hotels there are Karaoke rooms. Inside the karaoke rooms are the girls. Another specialty is the local sauna bath. You pick up the girls in the lounge and go to the room with a big air curtain. The girls do the massage with their boobs exclusively. You may have tried this in Thailand, but in China, it's a different story. The price for a boob massage is $12. If you wanna have sex afterwards it will cost another $12 for the girl and no extra tips. Cost Short time is around $250 - 300 RMB. Rates vary with the girls. LT is somewhere around 600 - 800. $30.00 to high of $85.00. The price has nothing to do with the quality. It usually has to do with your ability to negotiate. The going rate for the Red Lake District is RMB $200 or about $25.00. Legal Imagine a small city, where the crime rate is the lowest in China. (China already has one of the lowest crime rates in the world). There have been no murders for 5 years. Imagine a city that welcomes young ladies from every province in China, legalized prostitution and gambling, and instructs the police to protect and defend these precious treasures. In fact, the Police are fined if they hassle the ladies. Imagine a city where the local taxi drivers are honest, the city streets are clean, the night air is warm, and the food is wonderful. |

|
| Payment Methods
The Chinese currency is called Renminbi (people's currency) and is often abbreviated RMB. The basic unit is the Yuan. Ten Jiaos make one Juan; ten fens make one Jiao. Thus, 100 fens make one Juan.

| How
Much Best time to go price wise: Prices drop a bit in the shoulder season, which runs from late March through April and from June through August. The off-season arrives in late November, and continues through the winter when crowds are few and prices unbelievably low. |
|
| Tipping Today, attitudes towards tipping are changing. Although the practice is not officially recognized, tips are now frequently offered to and accepted by travel guides, tour bus drivers, porters and waiters in top-class hotels and restaurants. However, tipping is still not expected in most restaurants and hotels. So ask the guide whether a tip is necessary and how much when you are uncertain. Sometimes, small gifts such as paperbacks, cassette tapes and western cigarettes appear to be preferred. Note that it is part of the polite ritual that any gift or tip initially will be firmly rejected. |
|
| Airport to
Lodging Write down the name of the hotel you want to go to on a small card and find a driver that can understand it. Make sure that he understands where you want to go before you get into the cab. Do not think that just because he is nodding his head he understands. Have him repeat the name to you. |

|
| Water We recommend that you drink only bottled water or boiled water. Bottled water is available every where. |
|
| Language Even without knowing Chinese all one really needs to do is smile and make some eye contact. If they will go with foreigners they will come up to you. I would highly recommend learning some basic numbers or have a good phrase book handy if you are going to negotiate without someone with you that knows Chinese. |
|
| Security Comparing with a lot of other countries, China is one of the safest countries in the world for personal security. However, in recent years, crime has increased, principally in the major cities. Serious crime against foreigners is rare, however, petty crime such as pick pocketing and purse snatching occur somewhat frequently. Pickpockets active in crowded areas such as stations, markets, shopping areas, sightseeing destinations, etc. So it is still wise to be cautious with your personal possession in public place. Following are some precautions to avoid potential problems: Do not show off your money in public. Keep enough money for your immediate needs in your pocket. Hide the rest on your body or leave them inside the safe boxes in hotel. Always keep valuables in safe boxes in hotels instead of leaving them in your room. Remove any jewelry that may draw a thief's attention before you go out for strolling. Never put your visa and passport, credit card, traveler's cheque and other travel documents in a carry bag. Ensure that you recognize the values of different local banknotes to avoid being deceived. Be cautious of your things in crowded areas: Local festivals, markets, tourist sites, railway and bus stations, on trains and buses. Always let your hotel or guides know where you are in your free days during the trip. Respect the custom of the local minorities. Do not quarrel with anyone during your trip. Any dissension's should be reported to your local guides for settlement. Do not travel those areas or sites that are not open to foreigners. Do not disperse any opinions contrary to China's laws and code of ethics and morals. |
|
| Scams Pickpocketing is probably the most common scam happening in China. |
|
| Medical
In China, standards of both medical care and the availability of medicines can vary a great deal between one region and another. In major cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Xi'an, medical facilities are good. Some hospitals have special sections set aside for foreigners. There will be doctors and nurses who speak English. They are well qualified and competent so you will receive good medical care. Medical fees are reasonable and immediate payment is required. Often, only primary health care is available in rural and remote areas. This is why you must be satisfied that you are in good health before you travel. It is essential that you take all recommended precautions so as to avoid accidents or illness. Most hotels will have access to a doctor. Should you require treatment, contact your hotel desk clerk, who will arrange for you to either see a doctor or be taken to a hospital, if it is appropriate. Alternatively, seek the assistance of your tour manager or the local office of your travel agents if for any reason the hotel staff is unable to help you. |
|
| Internet Just as in the rest of the world Internet services are now widely available in China. You will be able find access it in most major cities, though at times it can be very slow to download. Business centers in 4 and 5 star hotels provide an Internet server for visitors and you can also find cyber cafes in many cities. One of the best places to look out for these is near to the universities. |
|
| Phones International country code: [86] Selected city codes: Beijing (Peking) (10), Fujian (591), Guangzhou (20), Shanghai (21), Liaoning (24), Sichuan (28) Hainan (898) Dialing China from Overseas To dial China from overseas, dial your country's international dialing code, then 86 (the country code for China), then the city code, and finally the number. If you were dialing Beijing from the United States, for example, you would begin with 011, then 86, then 10 (the city code for Beijing), and finally the number of the person or office you were trying to reach. Assistance Numbers Information 116 Local information 114 General information (10) 5130828 Local Calls The Chinese have not yet fully discovered the benefits of telephones, but they're trying. Many are paying up to RMB 5,000 (about US$575) for private lines, others tote around cellular phones that are even more expensive. Telephone companies hold auctions for numbers; the number 8 is a favorite because the Chinese word for eight, ba, is similar to fa, part of the verb meaning "to become wealthy." Long Distance Calls When calling long distance within China, dial the 0 before the area code. There is no need to dial the area code when calling within that area. When calling China from a foreign country, omit the 0 before the area code. International Calls Because of the antiquated phone systems, it is often easier to make international calls than local ones. Public Telephones There are few public telephones on Chinese city streets. It normally takes repeated efforts to make a successful local call, and clarity is poor. Callers often must shout to make themselves heard. And because the call will be automatically be disconnected after 20 seconds of silence, if you're put on hold you must keep shouting, singing, whistling, or humming to yourself. Luckily, all calls are free. |
|
| Sex Short time is around $250 - 300 RMB. Rates vary with the girls. LT is somewhere around 600 - 800. $30.00 to high of $85.00. The price has nothing to do with the quality. It usually has to do with your ability to negotiate. Barber Shops There are hundreds of barber shops along the main streets as well as the side lanes. Actually, most hotels are surrounded by barber shops, where nobody gets their hair cut. Each shop may have 5-10 girls in them. You can either lay the girl down there or take them back to your hotel. The price is almost the same (with only $2 difference), it's recommended to take them back unless you are too urgent to release yourself. The Barbershops seemed to have the best selection of women. There are barbershops in every town. The average Mamasan fee is about 50rmb or $6.00. The local price in the barbershops are from 200rmb $23.00 to 400rmb or $46.00. Massage Salon When you drop in a massage salon, remember to ask the Mamasan which service they have. There are different kinds of massages that are supplied for the customers. The Thailand massage, the Taiwan massage, and the local massage. The price comes up all the same, $5 for a session of 1 hour. Remember the massage is the local specialty in Qonghai. It is highly recommended you to try it at least one time. After a relaxing orthodox massage, you can ask for an erotic massage with some hookers. It will include a blow job or hand job with baby oil plus hot sex. Service is varied from place to place but the price is the same: $10 for extra service. In some salons, you can grope and fondle the "cherries" while they are applying orthodox massage to you without any extra payment. Most cherries give hand jobs (with their face flushed and they are just too shy to watch your member instead they often plead to turn down the lights) but generally they don't have sex with the customers. Sauna Bath Another specialty is the local sauna bath. You pick up the girls in the lounge and go to the room with a big air curtain. The girls do the massage with their boobs exclusively. You may have tried this in Thailand, but in China, it's a different story. The price for a boob massage is $12. If you wanna have sex afterwards it will cost another $12 for the girl and no extra tips. There is a specific hotel, (name unknown) (actually I would rather call it a brothel literally for all the tenants are hookers), you even need to pay 20 cents for entrance. This place is packed with the local hooker hunters for it is incredibly cheap. Actually the hookers chart the hotel and wait for the business in every room on every floor. Some wink and smile at you and some drag you in directly. Some tumble you with their bare feet and some seduce you with their naked body parts. You could be lost like a kid in a zoo. If you drop in certain room, the girl will close the door and strip in front of you. For a $1 you can fondle and knead every part of her body. If you want sex afterwards, another $2-$3 will lay all things down. As our cab approach the first shop a flock of young girls rushed to our cab and caged us. Smiling, saying hello, asking us to them home. The driver turn to us and said," sorry, I can't move an inch, you need to check out by yourselves" So we get off and each one of us was surrounded by more than ten girls. I mean truly young girls with the angelic faces. Oh, My God. Is this somewhere on the earth? I was turned on by the first sight of these girls. Some girls held my hand firmly and said" I can do blowjob , I can ride, I can do everything you want, take me, Sweetheart" . As we wanted to take a quick look of the place, so we just told them we don't want girls, after 10 minutes , we are on our way . We strolled along the lake and were stopped by the girls now and then, I guess there are more than 600 girls working in the barber shops there. 30 minutes later, We finished our investigation and decided to pick up one right down there, for the cab driver told us if we did the business right upstairs in the barber shop, we can save as much as 70% of the expense. Which means 30rmb for the shop and 100 RMB for the girl for a straight sex right there, but if we wanted to take the girls back to hotel the price will go to 200-250rmb for them. I went to a shop with 12 local young girls sitting inside, A young girl with little make up caused my attention, She is cute. The Mamasan murmured to me that she can blow me to hell but she asked for 120rmb, and she assure me that this young angel definitely worth it. She even said if I was not satisfied in the first 10 minutes, I could get fully refund with no condition. So, Where else in the world can I get fully refund after I have fucked for 10 minutes???? there is not reason for me to refuse the proposal. After I took the young girl upstairs, she told me she was only 17 and her name is little Swan. I laid down on the mattress and saw her undid her blouse, she got a young body with firm tits and butts. Traditionally, ordinary Chinese think 16 is old enough for marriage, so 17 is a blossom age for girls While I fondled her tiny nipple, she unzipped my trunk and held my part with a big O mouth for the big size of it, " you are hard to serve, dudes" she giggled. Then, she lowered her lip and did her business, Oh, God, every part of her mouth was moving, she was gorgeous and deft with what she was doing....., I felt such a strong desire sizzling in my brain, so I stopped her and asked how much if I want to come twice, one for blowjob and the other for fuck. She hesitated and asked" can you?", I nodded and said how about 200rmb. She agreed and back to her business. I can't tell you guys more details about the session, but I can assure you that her tongue is so good at what she was paid to do, eventually I came in her mouth twice. B4 I came out of the shop, I wrote down her beeper number and promised her I would hook her up again.... |

Where Which in Chinese means Red City. A lake surrounded by a stretch of barber shops in red lights, more than 50 of them. The going rate for the Red Lake District is RMB $200 or about $25.00. Another RMB 50 for the Mamasan. The same rate in Sanya, at the barber shops. In the Haikou Hotel Coffee Shop the rate was twice that or more. Haikou coffee shop Prices in the Haikou Hotel Coffee Shop run from 400rmb to 600rmb and the girls are all independents. There are many girls around the Haikou Hotel and the coffee shop. |
|
| Photography
Bring more films than you think you'll need, as you'll find there's a lot to photograph. All security X-ray machines on Mainland China and at Hong Kong airport are film-safe. Camera and video camera should be declared upon entry to China. Most major brands of color print film are available in China, but slide or high/low ASA film may be difficult to find. In the large cities of China, film could be processed in one hour and the quality is acceptable. Points for Attention: Do not take photographs at aerodromes, military installations or other politically sensitive areas. Do not photograph from aircraft. Do not take pictures of strangers, their children or possessions without asking permission. Taking photography is forbidden in most museums, palaces, grottoes, and temples. Some institutions permit photography on payment of a fee in advance. |

| Recreation Haikou Harbour This is arguably the best place in all of China to see sailing junks, which have sadly disappeared form most other parts of the country; shipyards here welcome visitors interested in traditional boat-building methods. Sanya This settlement on the south coast is Hainan's second-largest city, but is nonetheless a laid-back location where casual clothes are worn for almost every occasion and life proceeds at an unhurried pace. Dadonghai Located just 2 km from Sanya city, Dadonghai is a small-but-bustling beach resort with such unexpected amenities as western-style cocktail bars with blues music on the sound system. Luhuitou This neatly-kept town is a fishing port as well as a resort, so restaurants here have their daily pick of the ocean's freshest bounty, and serve some of the best seafood on the island. Yalong Bay This tranquil beach resort is where you'd go to get away from everything, including organized tourist attractions. What you'll find here instead is a stunningly beautiful and remarkably uncrowded beach, a small village - and peace and quiet. Xinglong Located on Hainan's east coast, this area has been famous for centuries for its natural mineral springs, water form which is nowadays piped directly into hotel rooms at a regulated temperature. Coffee is also grown in this area, and provides an interesting change of taste in the world's largest tea-consuming country. Baoling Best reached by means of a 40-km bus trip from Sanya, this settlement is the centre of Hainan's largest autonomous areas, home to the Li and Miao ethnic minority peoples, and an excellent place to purchase beautiful handicrafts. The End of The Earth Located at the extreme southern tip of Hainan (and the limit of civilization, according to ancient belief), and this small resort features a relatively uncrowded beach with food soft drinks and a few guest accommodations. Shopping Haikou's markets offer interesting carved stones, model junks and woodcarving, along with silk and bamboo ware. Among the most memorable souvenirs of Hainan are weaving, embroidery and carvings done by the island's talented Li, Miao, Hui and Zhuang ethnic minority people.
