AFL fan's dream house with Waverley Park grandstand views for sale
An AFL fan's dream house with views across the iconic Waverley Park grandstand is poised to score a $1m-$1.1m sale. BigginScott's Ming Xu and Jing Chen star in a Hawks-themed online listing video showcasing the four-bedroom home at 60 Waverley Park Drive, Mulgrave. The property also has views of an oval at the Waverley Park complex that served as Hawthorn's base from 2006 until recently. Ahead of the Hawks' move to a new base in Dingley, the club sold Waverley Park back to the AFL in a deal believed to be worth about $20m, in June. To celebrate the residence's connection to the sporting complex, Mr Xu dons a Hawthorn uniform, runs around the oval and tosses a footy to Ms Chen who is standing on one of the abode's two balconies, in the listing clip. 'I think there are only a few properties around Waverley Park with three levels and oval views,' Mr Xu said. 'Every time Hawthorn do training there are a lot of Hawks fans standing there watching, by owning this property you can sit and watch from your balcony while having coffee.' The clip is not Mr Xu's first foray into creative marketing. In February, he had the listing for a house owned by an assistant director's family who know Hollywood actor Liam Neeson. They recruited the Taken star to voiceover their listing video as a humorous tribute to the hit franchise. And earlier this month, Mr Xu and colleague Eric Liu donned matador and bull costumes to film a clip for a house that has a Spanish Mission-style facade. As a keen Hawthorn supporter, Mr Xu already owned the outfit he needed for the latest video. The Mulgrave house would suit a variety of buyers, he added. 'I think it would be great for a family with one or two kids as there's four bedrooms and multiple living areas, or a couple who enjoy having a healthy and active lifestyle as locals can use the oval when footballers are not training,' he said, The main kitchen is fitted with stone-topped benches, a 900mm Smeg oven and gas stove, Haier dishwasher and an island breakfast bench. Sliding doors open onto a balcony, while an indoor entertainers' area includes a second kitchen with a Goldline gas stove and gas log fire. Upstairs, is a lounge room, study nook and two bedrooms with balcony access, including the main bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe and dual vanity ensuite. Head to the lower level for a terrace and garden with oval views, bathroom and laundry with a walk-in linen press and chute. Other highlights include a powder room, ducted heating and airconditioning and a double garage with internal access. The house will be auctioned at midday on August 2.

Int'l media charmed by 'China tour' amid cool summer in Hainan
The international media team immersed itself in the colorful experience that the 'cool island' of Hainan offered in summer. (Photo credit: Jing Chen) HAIKOU, CHINA – Media OutReach Newswire – 3 July 2025 – This summer, journalists and photographers from the United States, Japan, South Korea, Spain, the United Arab Emirates, and other countries gathered at China's Hainan Free Trade Port, experiencing firsthand the vibrant pulse of its industrial development. For most of the media delegation, this was their first visit to Hainan. At the Boao Lecheng International Medical Tourism Pilot Zone, the team explored various medical institutions, gaining insights into the local healthcare landscape, specialized medical policies, and unique wellness programs blending traditional Chinese medicine with Western techniques. As China's only special medical zone, Lecheng collaborates with more than 180 healthcare, pharmaceutical, and medical device institutions across 20 countries, providing a series of world-class medical and healthcare services. In the first five months of this year, it welcomed more than 180,000 tourists from China, Canada, and Spain.

(Photo credit: Dan Sandoval) Hainan's pristine tropical rainforests and vibrant Li and Miao cultural traditions stand as its most iconic ecological and cultural hallmarks. At Haikou's Qilou Old Street, Baoting's Binglanggu Li and Miao Cultural Heritage Park, and Baoting's Shenyu Island, the media delegation was captivated by dynamic displays and exhibits of UNESCO-recognized intangible cultural heritage—such as the 3,000-year-old Li traditional techniques of spinning, dyeing, weaving, and embroidering—alongside national and provincial treasures like Hainan agarwood, coconut carving, Li pottery, boat-shaped houses, and bamboo pole dancing. ADVERTISEMENT Journalists remarked that witnessing and engaging with these time-honored crafts in person was far more striking than viewing them through photos or videos. Many showed a strong interest in Hainan agarwood, marveling at its historical significance and medicinal properties. After experiencing a Li medical massage, one reporter said that his back pain was finally relieved and that he 'should have come to Hainan earlier.' Beyond its beaches, Hainan offers a wealth of unique summer experiences that reshaped international media's perceptions: the Taoist healing, the Li long-table banquet, and refreshing forest bath on the Shenyu Island; the tropical coastal skydiving at Skydive Tarhe; the underwater suites and theme park of the Atlantis Sanya; the shopping spree in the International Duty-free Shopping Complex; the island scenery and fishermen culture in the West Island. Each destination offers distinct charms, revealing Hainan's diverse appeal. Zhang Hao, deputy director of the Sanya Tourism Board, revealed that in addition to strengthening duty-free shopping, Sanya has also prioritized low-altitude tourism and yachting in recent years. Last year alone, yachts embarked on over 120,000 sea trips, more than 10,000 visitors experienced low-altitude skydiving, and international cruise traffic, including home-port and visiting-port throughput, reached 59,200, placing Sanya among China's top destinations. According to the Hainan Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Television, and Sports, as China's only tropical island province and the largest Free Trade Port, Hainan enjoys the best visa-free policy in the country. In 2024, the number of inbound tourists exceeded 1 million, a record high in the past 5 years. The island has designed 10 categories of tourism products (e.g., marine tourism, high-end shopping, and healthcare) and allows ordinary passport holders from 85 countries to land without a visa.
