Seems they can not make up their minds about vehicles on the Hainan G98 expressway, spot the important difference?
Hainan Island expressways do not have any toll gates, the petrol is more expensive compared to Mainland China to make up for it....

Made it to Haikou: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haikou for my business meetings, the weather is not really pleasant, humid / foggy and only around +15 degrees celsius this time of the year (January 2013).
Killing some time between meetings and visited Haikou Yongqing Temple, the temple is located not far from the Haikou / Hai'An ferry terminal connecting the island with the China mainland.

Bo'ai Road is a neighbourhood located on the south side of the Haidian River, at the northern part of Haikou city. It comprises many dilapidated buildings with European fusion-type architectural facades. The buildings are almost all painted white, and are usually no more than a few stories tall. The area contains mainly narrow streets and alleyways, and is populated almost entirely by indigenous Hainan people. The neighbourhood is the commercial centre for textiles, pets, exotic foods, replica antiques, shoes, hardware items, and wholesales convenience store products.

Sad news, the Jialing JH600 sidecar got crated again and is on the way back to Shanghai after all the fun in the sun around Hainan Island (Southern China).

Great relaxed riding around Sanya and the rest of Hainan Island and lets not talk about the pleasant weather every day, empty beaches and mountain regions (easy to avoid the touristy scams, crap and traps).
Visited some nice areas during the island stay like Sanya, Dadonghai, Riyue Bay, Shimei Bay, Haitang Bay, Boao, Wenchang, Haikou, Rifan Bay, Sanya Bay, Serenity Coast Marina, Wuzhishan, Longmu Bay, Monkey Island, Clearwater Bay, Wuzhizhou Island, Yalong Bay, Ledong to just to name a few of the well-known spots.
The Jialing JH600 sidcecar had no problems, never missed a beat at all during the 5000+k's daily riding and bike tours and only required minor regular maintenance like drive chain lubing and once drive chain adjustment.
