Hainan Through Culture: Major Heat
This year, Major Heat arrives with summer rain and golden light shimmering across the paddies. At dawn, fishers cast their nets in the cooler hours. By midday, fruit farmers head into the orchards — lychees, mangoes, and longans ripening under the tropical sun. As the island swelters, locals turn to the hillsides, gathering wild herbs to brew cooling remedies — a tradition as old as the heat itself. From mountains to sea, life moves with the rhythms of the season. A watercolor of everyday moments, painted in the height of summer.
