Hainan is a unique travel destination with a tropical climate, rich history and vibrant culture. Here, each route turns into a small adventure: from the sea shores to inland settlements, where museums tell about the nature, peoples and trade routes of the island. Visiting local expositions helps to better understand the specifics of the region and see Hainan not only as a resort, but also as a historical space.
The center of the museum life of the region is the Museum of Hainan Province, where materials about the first inhabitants of the island, archaeological finds, marine history and natural heritage are collected. In the expositions you can find reconstructions of the life of indigenous communities, collections of marine artifacts and ethnographic items that reflect the uniqueness of the local culture. Along the coast and in rural areas, there are small local lore and ethnographic halls dedicated to crafts, fishing and rural lifestyle - such points perfectly complement the main route and provide an opportunity to see rare, local exhibits that rarely fall into large collections.
The museum program of Hainan is constantly updated: temporary exhibitions are regularly opened here and imported collections from mainland museums and private collections come. The provincial museum and regional venues conduct educational projects, thematic excursions and temporary exhibitions dedicated to significant dates and natural events. It is recommended to follow the posters and announcements in advance, so as not to miss rare expositions and author’s shows, which can make your trip especially rich.
Come to Hainan to make your own museum route and discover the island from a new side. Book excursions with a private guide: local guides will help to make the optimal route, tell little-known facts and organize a visit to the expositions without unnecessary fuss. A trip to the museums of Hainan will become deeper and will be remembered for a long time, if you trust the professionals - book a tour and enjoy the discovery of new stories.
