Moscow, October 29 (Xinhua) — Trips to the hot springs of Hainan Island in southern China are becoming increasingly popular among Russian tourists every year, according to a report by the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR), published on the organization's website.
According to Russian travel companies, this type of vacation perfectly complements the beach tours to Hainan, which are already popular with Russians, and for some, it even becomes an alternative.
"Hainan is rightly called China's health island. Natural healing factors—the sea, the air, the water from numerous hot springs—are complemented by Chinese medicine," the publication notes.
The review notes that Russian tourists are attracted by the unique chemical composition of Hainan's hot springs, combined with the sea air. This second factor is absent, for example, in traditional Japanese onsen or European baths, which are mostly located in urban areas, according to the Russian travel company FUN.
The tour operator company "Russian Express" reminds that a visit to the thermal springs in Hainan can be successfully combined with a course of therapy at a traditional Chinese medicine clinic.
"Tour operators are calling the natural healing springs located along the foothills of Mount Wuzhishan and Mount Qixianling in Baoting County a rising 'thermal star' in terms of demand among Russians. However, it's mostly seasoned tourists who are already on their first trip to Hainan Island who are visiting," the Association of Tour Operators of Russia (ATOR) report states.
