TB,

Thanks for sharing the RR and pics. I've been to Hainan/Sanya once before back in 2006. I'll bet it's changed a lot in the intervening time. You've had your JH600B for a while now. How is it holding up? I'm still hoping they'll get around to exporting them to the U.S.

Right now I am negotiating with a guy up in Xi'an to rent a couple of JH600B's in late May. I'm looking forward to getting my hands on the bike.

Cheers,

Dan K.

Very happy with my JL sidecar purchase up to today, no complaints, no frills - straight forward sidecar to shift gear and people around....
You got that right, Hainan changed a lot, was on the island the first time around 16 years ago assisting the Aussie government in some agricultural and cattle feedlot research....

G'Day,

Made my way up north from Yalong Bay to Wuzhishan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wuzhi_Shan passing by the tropical rainforest park called Yanoda: http://www.yanoda.com/language/English/
Skipped Yanoda Park this time as I had to take overseas visitors twice to the park in 2012 and the two visits last me properly a life time, noticed quite a lot of real estate (villas / hotels) going up in the immediate area surrounding Yanoda Park.

Great roads with very little traffic after Yanoda Park leading up to the mountain range towards Wuzhishan, great scenery along the way.

Got a nasty surprise after paying the entrance fee 50RMB to Hainan Wuzhishan National Nature Reserve.... pictures say more than words and did not bother to look around any further and hit the road down the mountain direction Boao: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bo'ao
Needless to say, quite sure this was my first and last visit to this particular nature reserve called Wuzhishan....... still, great winding roads going up though.

The secondary roads down the mountain range to Boao from Wuzhishan varied from concrete to tarmac to gravel and water crossings, brilliant stuff....
