12-27-2014, 02:40 PMSandor - Welcome to Sanya and hope you bought the sunblock .
,There are some Sanya and island motor bike shops that will do a 125 cc scooter casual 'sale and buy back . Plus 'you can purchase a helmet .
They usually do this with motor bikes they have extras of . You will need someone with Chinese language skills . If you have difficulties - we will see if we can help , as we are further north on the island . Cheers

12-27-2014, 04:05 PM@prince666: thx. indeed it seems there is no any dedicated rental shop but one can "rent" a motorcycle from some motorcycle shops.
@mega: thx. today I saw a large group of motorcyclist in a parking lot of a hotel in Sanya centre. One of them was a motorcycle shop owner and I could rent a bike from him:-)

The old highway going west is 'Ok , but we do drive on the expressway . Stay far right and watch for roadside debris .
Best route for a 2 day scenic ride is up the 'east coast - then loop back on a south west diagonal route through the 'heart of the island . This will give you the mountains , along with good roads .
If your bike is under 200 CC 'you will have some slow riding up some of the curvy but scenic roads .
If passing Wanning - get us a text @ 138.1663.6060

12-31-2014, 12:18 AMhi. I have met smiling policemen several times without any issue. Mostly they were having a rest on (discarded old club) chairs or even in a hammock :-) not on the highway of course. I really enjoyed riding on s314, g224, s310 up to Baisha then back to Sanya on g224. roads are in good shape apart from some really dangerous sandy spots due to road maintenance
must return to ride more with a proper bike===================

01-08-2015, 03:34 AMPal is correct ...plus motor biking mainland in the winter is not realistic .
There's two options for catching 'China's best winter 'two wheelin on Hainan ....Ship down a motor bike for 200 to 300 USD or rent a bike . The rental procedure may be a 125 CC motor bike purchase with a 'sell back .
Note - we have a place to keep your bike for you to make a few visits .
All visits should be planned at least a month in advance , along with air fares & transport .
Kiki and I just finished a New Years tour from LongAn Guangxi to Hainan Island . Pictures and more info coming .
Time to enjoy the winter sun , beaches and biking.. ... .....Cheers

01-11-2015, 01:41 PMMany of our immediate expat bikers are based in Shanghai and will ship their motor bikes down or get one down on Hainan . Most important is getting arrangements made { especially airfares & lodging } as soon as possible .
Also there is over 3 months of great winter biking here ...no need to cram all into the Chinese New Years ..
Get me a PM 'person message and will connect you with a Shanghai cyclist who may ride down , instead of shipping.....Cheers
