A brief note from Haikou

Haikou is the capital of Hainan Province, an island off southern China with a tropical climate, but otherwise like most islands. When I arrived here at the end of March, the weather was similar to that of Bekasi or Jakarta: hot and sunny. I asked my friend who welcomed me at the hotel where I stayed if Haikou, and Hainan as a whole, experienced winter. Of course, the response was “yes.” However, unlike other parts of China, where winter is marked by snowfall, Hainan only experiences moderately low temperatures, approximately 10–15 degrees Celsius. For those who are used to temperatures ranging from 30-34 degrees Celsius, this is enough to make us shiver.
