About Hainan
Hainan culture
What visitors can actually see is concrete: arcade streets in Haikou, Li brocade in the highlands, and local stages when a performance is on.
Streets and cloth
Qilou Old Street is the urban set piece. Li brocade is the highland craft; buy it from a maker or a shop that can say where it was woven, not from an unlabeled stall.
Qiong opera is the local theatrical form. See it if a performance is listed. Do not expect a show every evening in every town.
How to be a guest
Village visits need an invitation or a guide. Photography of people starts with a question.
Food is part of the culture page as well: Wenchang chicken and Xinglong coffee are everyday culture, not only festival culture.
