Hainan’s duty-free scene is leveling up! 🚀 During China’s recent National Day holiday, the island’s shopping hubs saw crowds snapping up luxury goods, and a new policy launching November 1 promises even bigger perks. Think more product categories (hello, tech gadgets and designer skincare!) and sweeter discounts for travelers. 💄💻
This move aligns with Hainan’s grand plan to become a global free trade port by December, when a special customs system kicks off. Imagine smoother shopping experiences and fewer border hassles – perfect for jet-setting millennials and Gen Z looking for Insta-worthy hauls. ✈️🛒
One shopper, 24-year-old influencer Li Mei, told us: 'Hainan feels like Asia’s answer to Dubai Mall now. The deals are unreal!' 🌴 With cross-border e-commerce also booming, this tropical hotspot is fast becoming a must-visit for savvy spenders. 💸
