Having traversed the globe the Olympic Torch finally made its way back to China with less than 100 days to go before the beginning of the Beijing Games, May 6, 2008. Hot air balloons, roller blading flag waving youngsters, naval ships, countless camera crews, army trucks with cheering locals and seemingly thousands of students lined the streets Tuesday morning at the crack of dawn to give a joyous welcome to the Olympic Torch arrival to Haikou city, capital of Hainan province, South China.
