Shopping---- Local Products
Where to shop
Above shopping items are available everywhere in Hainan. Still it is suggested to shop in the bigger-scaled markets for avoiding counterfeit junks. Hotel shopping centers or shopping lunge in the airport are ideal shopping place also for a complete collection of goods, while the price there is usually higher.
Coconut
Coconut is a mass product of Hainan and peculiar in China. Seems coconut trees everywhere in this tropic island and they're really impressing especially on the sand beaches in the dawn or in front of the setting sun or even waving under the dizzy noon sunshine. Anyway agriculturists will tell you coconut trees in Hainan are distributed mainly in the eastern part of the island.

Coconut has been billed as the "soft drink on tree top", a very refreshing drink. Stewed chicken with coconut meat is a favorite Hainan cuisine. The outer fiber coat of coconut is good water-resistant material, which can ideally be used to make rope, brush, carpet or bed mattress. Coconut juice can be used to make candy and to brew wine.
Coffee
Hainan island is a major place for coffee production in China. Furtherly saying, Wanning City and Chenmai County are main coffee home in the island. Raw beans, roughly-pulverized coffee powder or instant coffee are for your choice. However, they use coconut milk to be mixed with coffee powder and sugar, really a different stuff worth your try though. Remember the best brand is Lishen.

 
Mango
Mango is labeled as the "king of tropical fruits", one of the major fruit products in Hainan Island, and has been planted prosperously over the southwest part of the island.

Coconut Shell Sculpture
The hard shell of coconut can be used for sculpturing. Monkey, old man, maid or little girl are what being mostly resembled with the sculptures. Really lovely stuff.
Lingshui Pearls

"Western pearls are not better than those of the eastern, while eastern pearls are not better than those of the southern", as the saying goes, the southern pearl here refers to Hainan Lingshui Pearl. It is well known for its high quality in this country.
