As it grows ever closer to Spring Festival, the jade island's “holiday flavor” just keeps getting stronger. This year there are over 300 cultural activities and events taking place in Hainan during the holiday period.

Whether your thing is the rush of adrenaline with ocean sports, the peaceful sounds of birds and insects when visiting the rainforest, a deep relaxing breath of nature while traveling the Hainan Coastal Scenic Highway, the romance of local Intangible Cultural Heritage items, competitions, traditional culture, or the modern trendy interpretations of traditional culture … you will be able to find something to excite and innervate you.
