In Qionghai, Hainan, there is a harbor called Tanmen. For over a thousand years, Hainan fishermen have set sail from here into the depths of the South China Sea, writing their story with this sea through a manual known as the Geng Lu Bu. Today, the China (Hainan) Museum of the South China Sea stands here, housing precious documents generously donated by fishermen's families—a testament to how the Chinese people peacefully explored, developed and utilized the South China Sea. #Hainan #travel #SouthChinaSea #NameSaysItAll @ZuoZhangChina @zhang_heqing @ChineseEmbinCZ @RMinghui @ChinaConSydney @ChineseZimbabwe @CGChenLiNY @Consulate_CN_DB

The clock tower stands by the Haidian River in Haikou, which is the northernmost city on Hainan Island. First built in 1929, it was originally intended to provide a unified timekeeping system for the treaty port. In 1987, to improve traffic conditions, the old tower was demolished and the current one was built near the original site. Retaining a classical European architectural style, with a street on one side and water on the other, it has become a must-visit spot for travelers eager to experience Haikou’s local character. #Hainan #Haikou #travel
