Denise Armour shares her experience of visiting China
Denise on her fam trip to China
I have been with Hays Travel for eight months and have already been to Portugal for conference, Dominican Republic with Palladium Hotels, and now my fam trip to Sanya in China! I had been with my old employer for 19 years and was lucky if I had three trips all together! We stayed at three hotels; the Pullmans Oceanview, The Oriental Mandarin, and the Hilton. They were all stunning but the Oriental Mandarin was quieter and had a more relaxed feel. The beaches were stunning; I never even knew there were beaches as lovely as that in China! We visited the tropical rainforest park which was amazing and is a popular spot for couples getting their wedding photos done. We also walked across the rope bridge - which I was a bit scared of as I am not a fan of heights - but we
did it. Next we went to the hot springs which was amazing; bathing in pools scented with red wine, coconut and tea (not at the same time!) It was an amazing chilled out afternoon after our morning excursion. We also went to visit the Luhuitou Park (deer looking back park). It gets its name from an ancient story about a boy called Ahei who was out hunting when he spotted a beautiful spotted deer and chased the deer for nine days and nights. The deer was eventually trapped at the top of the cliff and as Ahei went to shoot it, it turned into a beautiful girl. Ahei and the girl fell in love and got married! The climate in Sanya is tropical so in winter averages about 25 degrees centigrade and the hottest month is
June averaging 28 degrees. Sanya is also host to international conferences, meetings and competitions such as Miss World, Volvo Ocean Race, international bodybuilding competitions, and lots more. There are also world class golf courses in Sanya. I will definitely go back to Sanya as there is still so much to see. My trip was an amazing opportunity that I would never have got in my old job. Hays quite rightly deserve to be in the 100 Best Companies to Work For! Everyone is so helpful and friendly. One of my worries being a homeworker was that I would be totally on my own but I’m not. Between other PTCs and head office staff they have helped me so much. I wish I had heard about Hays homeworking earlier.
