Hainan could become an international tourist destination, with its beautiful white sand beaches, its tropical climate, and its duty free shops. It is little known in Europe, but perhaps the inhabitants of this island do not wish to see a horde of tourists arrive.

Hainan is amazing. I has been there two times.

Hainan is a tropical province with exotic culture and summer vibes throughout the year. Hope I’ll be able to enjoy a hot winter one day in Hainan in the future

Hainanese people are more famous for their food, culinary skills, services industries etc. It may end up being a world class tourist destination known for it's culinary delight over other sectors as a FTP.

Hainan established the special economic zone in 1988, it's not 1998.

[peterpenhk]

not the first "free trade" zone in China, won't be the last one. Key fact: so long as currency exchange being block by the Chinese government, it won't work

不到海南岛，不知道身体不好……
……看树上两颗嫩椰子，随风而摇……
……绿叶兰，大香蕉，白斩鸡，任你挑……
……我望着那椰子，边吃边笑……

Yo Dennis! Do you need a butler or personal assistant?

[leo]

Hainan is expensive. I suppose China needs to make Hainan as a just in case for HK

[nct]

Why hasn’t it always been open free trade? Did someone or some entity restrict its ability of people to trade and exchange ideas and improve their own lives? Mmmm let that sink in huh

Dear MDM, I think one should deal with issues rationally n logically.. Not tic for tac.. seriously...

It's not good when the foreign minister threaten to kill a normal Australian citizen just by posting a view.. that's really violent behaviour.. one out up a international website where he out his view and others put their view is call freedom of speech... Yet in China one can't be punished for that . So, what can I say . See that proves the foreign ministers to be hypocritical.. must self examine First.. don't bully others Dear Ministers.. I think people meant well when they put views on the website.. not to fight with U. But just to put our thoughts tats all. Just be humble n have humility.. please.. that goes for the west Too..
