LNY in paradise 🌴🏖️☀️👙

#yearofrabbit City 3/3 during our #lunarnewyear travels: Sanya. Sanya is a paradise in every way. Bright blue water, coconuts galore, and captivating sunsets nearly every day. I started nearly every morning during our stay here with a yoga session on the beach, a perfectly blissful way to start each morning on the island. There are too many wonderful food options here. A favorite place of ours is in Dadonghai, called Marco Polo. Their blue cheese pizza is my favorite!! 🍕 Pineapple burgers, coconut milk bowls, and other island treats await after a long day of enjoying the waters, soaking in the equatorial sun beams, and just allowing our bodies to rest after all of the travels we did in the ten days prior to arriving at Sanya. 🍔🍍🥥 On the evening of January 21st, we went to the top floor of our hotel, and from that spot 36 floors up, waited for the countdown for the Lunar New Year. 🎉🎊🧧The excitement was tangible as apartments from top floor to bottom in the building across from us filled with people coming out into their balconies, yelling New Year’s wishes in the minutes leading up to midnight, then counting down in unison as the clock neared midnight. 🕕 Immediately, we were surrounded with fireworks filling the skies of the city as far as we could see. Whether small curbside poppers or massive, sky-reaching bursts, eager residents lit the skies and streets with sparkling, popping beauty. 🎆🎇🧨Shouts of “新年快乐!” resounded during the following minutes. People were jubilant; 2023 holds hope of new adventures. There could not have been a better place to ring in the Year of the Rabbit than here, with so many other joyful humans, in Sanya. 🐇🧧🎊🥳🎉#china #newyearadventure #lunarnewyear #tripblazers #beachlife #foodie #mytripvlog #yearoftherabbit #chinesenewyear #hainan #sanya #dadonghai
