Hainan, Island province in southern China

Hainan encompasses an area of 34,300 square kilometers with a 930-mile coastline and mountains reaching elevations of 1,840 meters above sea level.

The Chinese empire incorporated Hainan in 110 BCE by establishing two prefectures, while the region remained under indigenous control until the Tang dynasty.

The Li and Miao ethnic minorities maintain traditional communities in the central mountains, preserving their languages, customs, and agricultural practices.

Haikou International Airport connects the province with major cities across Asia, while a network of highways links coastal cities to inland regions.

The province contains the largest special economic zone in China, with plans to transform into a free trade port by 2035.
