Isolated, backward, yet stunn­ ingly beautiful, the little-known tropical isle was for centuries a refuge of rebels, artists, con­ victs and errant imperial of­ ficials banished from China's mainland. Bathed on the east by the Gulf of Tonkin and by the South China Sea on the west, Hainan soothed many a Chinese outcast destined to die on its lonely shores and be bUried in its palm-studded soil. The islanders seem proud of Hainan's image as a hospice for iconoclasts, like the Song Dynas­ ty poet Su, who was disgraced several times for his controver­ sial prose before he died in 11Q1. In Haikou, the island's bustl­ ing northern seaport, leaders have even erected a small museum and shrine at the burial place of Hai Rui, an obscure, Hainan-born Ming Dynasty of­ ficial who won infamy and ex­ pulsion by daring to criticize the emperor. Today, Hainan's shimmering, deserted beaches and emerald hills offer an unspoiled her­ mitage for the modern recluse as well as an exotic stop for the adventurous traveler. Nicknamed "Treasure Island" for its rich mineral resources and fertile sugar cane, coffee and rubber planta­ tions, Hainan is nearly as big as Taiwan and has a mixed popula­ tion of 5.8 million Chinese and minority peopl$. Foreign tourists were only of­ ficially granted access to 17 Hainan locations this spring, and Western visitors are such a rare sight that islanders often remark enthusiastically on their nose length, skin color and overall size. "A map?" blinked a young hotel receptionist in Hainan's sleepy seaport of Sanya, the southernmost town in all of China. "Sanya has no maps," she laughed. And except for the occasional, "Hello," few people speak languages other than Hainanese or Cantonese. A six-hour bus ride southwest of Haikou, Sanya is a lively fishing and market town with a population of about 30,000, main­ ly descendants of Han Chinese immigrants and native Li minority people. The best way to explore Sanya -- if your bottom can absorb a few bumps -- is by hiring a "sanlunche," or motorbike with a wooden sidecar attached. A straw-hatted driver will escort you from beach to beach for only a few cents a mile. Some of China's loveliest white sand beaches, lined with feather-like pine trees, stretch for miles in crescents along the nearby Luhuitou Peninsula -- only a 20-minute trishaw ride from Sanya. Luhuitou, which means "the deer turns back its head," derives its name from a folk legend popular among Hainan's 800,000-strong Li population. According to the tale, a young Li hunter spotted a beautiful golden deer high in the Five Finger Mountains and chased it to the tip of the peninsula. Confronted with the surging waters, the deer turned back its head, instantly becoming a beautiful Li girl. The two youths were married and the wind­ swept bluffs of Luhuitou became the incarnation of the golden deer. One of the longest beaches at Luhuitou is Dadonghai or "Great Eastern Sea." Sloping gently into clear, turquoise waters, Dadonghai is ideal for swimming, and occasionally of­ fers waves big enough for body surfing. Just around the point is Xiaodonghai or "Small Eastern Sea," a steeper, frothier, more isolated beach graced by coconut palms and wild cactus. The juicy, red-violet hearts of the cactus buds are delicious and tart for an after-swim snack, and tanned Hainanese boys seem to like to show off by dashing up nearby palms to fetch refreshing, milk-filled c o c o n u t s f o r v i s i t i n g beachcombers. Barely visible above the sandy beach grass of Xiaodonghai are the remaining stone steps of a once elegant villa, the retreat of yet another ill-fated Chinese, Liu Shaoqi. One of China's com­ munist leaders, Liu was purged as the nation's "No. 1 capitalist roader" and his villa demolish­ ed by Red Guards at the onset of the 1966-76 Cultural Revolution. Not far from these beaches is the charming and moderately priced Luhuitou Hotel, a plea­ sant walk from Sanya along a coastal road past rickety stilt houses and black goats mun­ ching weeds. Built in 1958, the hotel offers airy bungalows nestled in tropical gardens, wth old- fashioned wooden furniture, tile floors and tall, four-poster beds shrouded in canopies of mos­ quito netting. At a small dining hall cooled by overhead fans, guests can sit down with workers for hearty one-dollar meals of seafood, soup, rice and vegetables. Hainan's famous Xinglong cof­ fee, China's finest, is brewed for breakfast. Sanya is known for its large catches of crab, lobster and shrimp, and restaurants in the center of town are worth explor­ ing for more exotic fare. Local chefs take pride in summoning guests to the kitchen to select a fresh fish. While downtown, visit the cor­ al and shell stalls and stroll through the main marketplace, where old Li women wearing flame orange towels puff Hainan tobacco from water pipes, and crew-cut sailors from the near­ by Yulin naval base go carous­ ing. Reaching this haven isn't easy. Planes and ferries to Haikou depart fairly regularly from Hong Kong and China's southern city of Guangzhou, but transport is primitive on the island's two main roads. Travel permits are required for all destinations but Haikou. AUTO TECHNICIAN SURVEY There are several job openings of which one may be designed especially for you.
