China's tropical paradise Hainan is set to smash travel records this Spring Festival, with over 22 million trips expected between February 2 and March 13 – a 5% jump from 2025! 🚀 The island’s upgraded visa-free policy and balmy 22°C winter temps are drawing sun-seekers like never before.
Winter Sun Paradise
While northern China bundles up, Hainan’s beaches are heating up 🌞. Officials predict 3.7% more air travelers and 10% spikes in ferry traffic compared to last year’s holiday rush.
Visa-Free Travel Boost
Since December’s customs overhaul, foreign arrivals skyrocketed 46% – 87,000 visitors entered visa-free under expanded rules now covering 86 nations. From Paris to Perth, travelers are trading snow boots for flip-flops! 🩴
"This isn’t just vacation traffic," says transport official Mu Kerui. "It’s proof our Free Trade Port vision is working." With new duty-free shopping perks and direct flights, Hainan’s becoming Asia’s must-visit winter escape.
