Hainan
Hainan has a long and varied history, with waves of migrants landing on the island from the mainland, since the Han dynasty. From Qiong opera to Li minority embroidery, the heritage of the southernmost province of China is an eclectic mix that has evolved into something unique. Today, Hainan continues to usher in new historical opportunities, to inherit and carry forward outstanding traditional culture, establish Hainan’s “intangible cultural heritage” brand, and to facilitate the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port (FTP) and Hainan International Tourism Consumption Center.
The unique intangible cultural heritage resources are the cultural treasures of the construction of Hainan International Tourist Island.
Upon till now, Hainan Province has many intangible cultural heritage representative projects, including 28 at national level, 54 at provincial level. Li minority traditional spinning, dyeing and weaving crafts are included in the UNESCO’s “List of Intangible Cultural Heritage in Need of Urgent Safeguarding”.
