介绍： On a Chinese Island, a Sunny Sanctuary for Russian Tourists
Gathered on New Year's Eve in the banquet hall of a beachside hotel in southern China, tipsy revelers jumped to their feet to toast the arrival of 2026 — two hours early.
They were not befuddled by too much drink but wanted to celebrate the start of the New Year according to the time in Vladivostok, a Russian city two hours ahead of China. Slurred cries went up, in Russian: "Happy New Year, Vladivostok!"
Unlike in many places in Europe, where Russians have learned to keep their voices down because of the war in Ukraine, the beaches of southern China offer a safe and sunny space for Russians to behave as they would at home without fear of sideways looks.
The number of Russian visitors to Hainan, increased 11 times between 2023 and 2024, making them by far the biggest group, buoyed by a visa-free policy. During the winter high season, the island receives eight or more flights each day from cities across Russia.
Most Russian visitors enjoy their time in Hainan for a simple reason: the weather. "It is now minus 30 degrees and snowing at home and here it plus 30 and sunny," said a cafe owner from the Siberian city of Khabarovsk, Nataliya.
In China, she added, hotels are cheaper, and people don't care about geopolitics, the war in Ukraine or other topics that rile many Europeans. "Chinese don't spit at Russians like Europeans do," she said.
