Hainan is no longer just a vacation hotspot—it’s now China’s front door to the world! With its island-wide special customs operations launching this month, the tropical province is rewriting the rules of global trade and cultural exchange. 🌐✨
Wanning, a coastal gem known for its surf-ready waves and laid-back resorts, is at the heart of this transformation. CGTN’s Wang Tao reports that the city’s blend of ‘glocal’ vibes—think night markets serving coconut rice alongside craft coffee pop-ups—is drawing travelers and investors alike. 🏄♂️☕
"Wanning is where China’s consumer future unfolds," says Wang. "You see tech startups collaborating with local fishermen, and luxury eco-resorts powered by solar farms. It’s Bali meets Silicon Valley, but with Hainan’s unique twist."
The upgrades aren’t just economic. Urban renewal projects have turned aging neighborhoods into #InstaReady art districts, while new visa-free policies for 59 countries are fueling a tourism boom. For Gen-Z explorers, it’s becoming the ultimate workation destination—where 5G meets beachside Wi-Fi. 📸🌴
