More to Hainan than you think! See my Hainan Directory!

[bathrobe]

I've put up a 'Hainan Directory', which is a fairly comprehensive collection of links to sites about Hainan, with comments. You'll find a lot more here than half a day searching through Google or (even worse) Yahoo and MSN.

(For updated link to site, see next entry)

The directory covers Hainan's ecology, Hainan's history, Hainan's ethnicity and languages, Hainanese food, traveller's tales about Hainan, travel sites about Hainan, sites of photos of Hainan, the Hainan diaspora, etc.

(Sorry, it doesn't have any budget hotel links)

Some comments received about the site:

'Pandan':

I've just spend 2 hours on your website. Good and interesting! Thanks

Ross McKinnon:

You have done those of us a great service by putting much material on this beautiful Island in one place....Thanks a lot.

Roddy:

Nice work (and a lot of it too). You're welcome to plug it over at chinese-forums.com if you like - should get you, ooo, 2 or 3 visitors. Maximum.

Roddy, you should be a bit more confident in the drawing power of your forum!
