A century ago, French anthropologist François-Marie Savina travelled across Hainan, recording the island as he saw it.

Now, French photographer Jeremy is retracing Savina’s journey with friends to see what has changed.

In this episode, they explore Haikou’s Qilou Old Street, known for its distinctive Nanyang (Southeast Asian) -style, architecture, before heading to Wenchang to try zaopocu, a local hotpot known for its tangy fermented broth. (Credit: 法国摄影师在海南Visualmedia)
