Hainan is a tropical island off Chinas southern coast, separated
from Guangdong province by the Qiongzhou Straits. It is a major source
of oil and tropical crops but corruption has discouraged most investors.
Some ethnic tensions have begun between the Han Chinese and the islands
minorities, such as the Li and Miao. The island grows and exports more
than 20 kinds of fruit and vegetables, as well as cinnamon, coconuts,
rice, sugar and tobacco. The islands forests have been reduced from 50%
of the land to less than 8%. Hainan is rich in minerals, especially
bauxite, copper, iron ore, and tin.
Hainan lies in southern China and is the second largest island in China.
It abounds in coconuts. With the shell of coconut as the material,
Hainan Island developed a special folk art of coconut carving more than
1,000 years ago.
Hainan coconut carving was first recorded in the documents of the Tang
Dynasty (618-907). It began to flourish in the Ming and Qing dynasties
(1368-1911). After years of improvement, it developed into a special
local art.
Crafts carved from the shells of coconuts are a popular Hainan
knickknack. Sometimes the outside of the shell of a coconut is engraved
with grains and its inner side is embedded with tin, copper, silver. The
coconut-carved articles include bowls, plates, bottles as well as tea
sets, and drinking vessels, etc. Coconut crafts are greatly loved by
people all over the world and at present are exported to more than 20
countries and regions.
In politics,HANAN is also an opening window for the world Boao Forum For
