German travel writer Haering Jens Volker joined 24 European travel journalists and social media influencers from the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Ireland on the Nihao China: European Travel Media and Influencers' Hainan Tour from May 25 to June 1.

From the preserved Southeast Asia-style streetscapes of Haikou's old quarter to Sanya's remarkable rise from fishing village to modern skyline, Hainan left a lasting impression on him. "It's a great place!" he declared — a truly unique island waiting to be discovered.
