I would love to visit Hainan Island this Autumn from London my home city.Not being a Mandarin/Cantonese speaker is it possible to get around easily,for example are there signs in English.I appreciate any advice anyone can give.Thankyou! Steve

Please do not worry about it. Most of the attractions and hotel have boards written in both Chinese and English. So I think you can have a nice trip there. But most of the local people know no English, so if you want to take taxis, I think you may print the destination's Chinese name on a card and show it to the taxi driver. Then he may drive you there diretly.

Thanks so much Bella I appreciate your guidance! Steve

Bella you kindly let me have some information regarding the use of English on Hainan Island.Weather wise is there likely to be plenty of sunshine say mid October.I can see the temp chart but not sunshine hours.I realise you cannot be 100% certain but from previous years??Thankyou!!

Any English Spoken in Haikou?
