After years of cautious pandemic protocols, residents and travelers in Sanya, Hainan Province, are rediscovering the joy of sun-soaked beaches and bustling night markets as COVID-19 measures ease across China. 🏝️
French actor Fathi Anouar Ghammam, who’s called China home for seven years, captured the upbeat mood in a recent vlog-style tour. From sunrise jogs along coconut-lined shores to late-night seafood feasts at local stalls, he showcased the island’s revitalized energy. \"Life here feels normal again,\" Fathi told us. \"People are vaccinated, hospitals are ready—it’s time to move forward.\" 💉✨
He also pushed back against foreign media narratives exaggerating China’s COVID situation: \"In Hainan, we’re not just surviving—we’re thriving.\" Local authorities report steady resumption of tourism and business activities, with beachfront resorts welcoming international guests once more. 🌐
As cities nationwide optimize prevention strategies, Sanya’s story mirrors a broader shift: cautious optimism meets cultural vibrancy. Who’s ready for a tropical reset? 🌴
