Features: Waves, beaches, and brilliant sunshine. Upon stepping onto Hainan Island, one feels as if entering a maze. The sea, like jade, the waves, like mirrors, the sand, like butter, and the bays, like rainbows, enchant and immerse you. In the vast, misty seas of the nation, there lies a green "emerald" island—Hainan. Here, you can smell the lingering coconut fragrance carried by the sea breeze and hear the celestial melodies played by the waves. Today, people compose the leisure of an alternative metropolis, while in the distant past, disheartened exiles spoke of the tranquility of the ends of the earth. Here, there is the red legend of the "Red Women's Army," and through generations, the spirited and graceful women have told countless beautiful stories.
The sea breeze gently brushes past, the coconut trees sway in the wind; the tide crashes against the rocks, and the sound of the waves rises in harmony. This book selects exquisite writings from contemporary and modern literati, aiming to showcase Hainan Island's unique and captivating tropical scenery, its expansive and refreshing natural environment, its extraordinary and vibrant marine resources, and its simple yet profound ethnic customs.
Hainan, with its coconut winds and sea rhythms, is like a pure and beautiful fairy, stirring longing and admiration. It is also like a brilliant and dazzling pearl hanging in the southern frontier of the motherland. Can all this not entice you to visit and explore?
