On my recent trip to the tropical Hainan island/province, specifically the cities of Haikou and Wenchang, I came across this T-shirt for sale:
Which is the only particularly funny part.
Here’s a Tompie sign misspelled:
And the other day back in Shenzhen a guy with a shirt that loudly states: FUCK among other illegibles. Gotta love those shirts.
Fallow your heart, readers!

How was Hainan? It is one of the destinations we might go in September however I mostly only find negative reviews about it :p

Really? I went 6 years ago, only to Sanya but I found it was nice. Don’t expect Thailand or Philippine beaches, but nice enough. Everybody will think you are Russian though, haha.

We will have to see how it will work out. Right now my wife’s task is to find some more peaceful area there/ peaceful hotel without too many part people but more family oriented

I reallh liked Haikou beaches because they werent crowded, but mostly wasn’t great. I expect Sanya is very touristy.
More to be posted next week…

Your family might enjoy the beaches in Haitang Bay (Sanya) or Shimei Bay (Wanning). These areas are much less crowded and have excellent beaches.

Thank you 🙂
It is not easy to plan it right now as it is pretty close already to the time we are in CHina and hence the prices for the flight alone bloated up rather much

Hi! I’m curious where the Tompie photo was taken. I work with the Hainan Province Tourism department, and if you agree, I’d like to share your photo with my colleagues. I’m hoping to raise awareness of Hainan chinglish within our department in hopes of making signage at local attractions slightly less baffling 🙂
Thanks for the fun Hainan chinglish post!

Hello. I believe it was at the 5 Lords Temple 五公祠 in Qiongshan District in Haoikou.
Note that I like Chinglish and I think it gives Chinese sights character. I don’t mean to mock in a mean-spirited way. That said, I’d be honored if you share my pictures and I hope I can contribute in a small way!
Now if only Guangdong would contact me and I could make a living of this… 😉

Thank you! Personally I think 5 Lords Temple is one of the worst attractions in Hainan, hope you got to go to some more interesting spots as well!
I greatly enjoy my work, and even if some people are sad at the idea of getting rid of any of the fun and amusing Chinglish, not to worry. More is constantly being created 😀
