Against the backdrop of turquoise waters and palm-fringed shores, Hainan's Haihua Island has become a hub for automotive enthusiasts and nature lovers alike as the Auto Eco-Camping Expo enters its second day. The event, described by organizers as "a symphony of engines and ecosystems," features rare classic car displays, cutting-edge RV innovations, and nightly sunset music festivals drawing both domestic and international visitors.
Island Paradise Meets Automotive Culture
Haihua Island's 8-kilometer coastline provides a dramatic setting for the expo, where vintage Mercedes-Benz models sit alongside solar-powered camping gear exhibits. Over 120 businesses from the Chinese mainland and overseas are participating, including electric vehicle startups showcasing off-road capable EVs designed for eco-conscious adventurers.
Driving Hainan's Tourism Evolution
Analysts note the event aligns with Hainan's push to become a "tourism innovation laboratory," combining its tropical appeal with niche experiential offerings. "This isn't just about cars – it's about creating sustainable memories," said event coordinator Lin Wei, pointing to bamboo-constructed exhibition halls that will be repurposed as community centers post-event.
Sunset Networking and Cultural Fusion
Evening programming has emerged as an unexpected business catalyst, with seafood barbecue mixers under string lights facilitating deals between automotive suppliers and Southeast Asian investors. Cultural performances blending Li ethnic minority traditions with modern dance routines underscore Hainan's unique position as China's tropical cultural crossroads.
