One of the best thing about living in Singapore is its proximity to Asia's best beaches and tourist destinations. Although many people still do not think places other than Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, several less traveled destinations in Vietnam, Cambodia and China also offers great holiday escapes from Singapore, especially if you are tired of crowding and spoiling, heavy development in popular tourist destinations like Phuket.
Hainan Island of China, Southern most past of China, is one of these destinations. It is dubbed as "Hawaii of China" and the southern city of Sanya is positioning itself as a popular tourist destination.

Another option is Tiger Airways, which flies to Haikou, 5 times a week for a cheaper 242 SGD (return trip). From November 2011, Jetstar will start to operate daily flights between Singapore and Hainan Island.
