Courtesy of retailers Ah, I love love. Even more so, I love celebrating those milestones, whether my own or someone else’s (I mean, your girl loves a solid reason to wear a cute wedding guest dress, but I digress).

A few days into a two-week tour through the island province of Hainan — known as the Hawaii of China — Nicole Chan received a message from local authorities that no traveler in the country wants to see in the pandemic. On Aug. 3, a day after officials reported 11 cases of Covid-19 in Sanya,…
