Hawaii's ancient ethnic villages and natural landscapes also lure the rich Chinese.

It hosts one of the United States' most popular restaurants, Mama's Fish House. The establishment run by native Hawaiians has long ranked among the country's favorites not only for its gastronomy but also for its setting, in which guests enjoy meals under coconut trees.

The Halekulani on Oahu Island and the Ritz-Carlton on Maui attract large numbers of affluent Chinese, HHtravel says.

Mauritius appeals to lovebirds, daredevils and superstars.

It has attracted roughly 90,000 Chinese annually in recent years, Mauritius' tourism authority reports.

The country offers family honeymoon, outdoor sports and golf trips that feature unique flora and fauna, and aboriginal culture and history.
