As the Year of the Horse gallops into full swing, Hainan Province has transformed into a hub of Spring Festival festivities, blending traditional customs with modern attractions to create a uniquely inclusive celebration. From vibrant night markets in Haikou to lantern-lit coastal walks in Sanya, the island is offering round-the-clock activities designed to engage both local residents and international visitors.
Cultural performances featuring Uygur dance troupes from northwest China and Hainan's indigenous Li ethnic group have drawn particular attention, symbolizing the nation's cultural unity. Meanwhile, family-friendly workshops on traditional paper-cutting and calligraphy cater to younger generations seeking to connect with their heritage.
For business observers, the province reports a 22% year-on-year increase in tourism revenue during the holiday period, with overseas investors showing renewed interest in Hainan's free trade port development. The Taiwan Strait cruise route has also seen record bookings, with many residents of Taiwan joining mainland relatives for reunion dinners.
