I have been in Hainan for 1 month and just back home. it was hard to find souvenir such as key chain and fridge magnet with "hainan" or maybe "Haiko" or "Sanya" words on it, to shows that the souvenir is bought at those places. What i see in Hainan....all the souvenir shop selling coconut shell and seashell craft with nothing words or figure that shows it from Hainan or China. Such kind of souvenir we can find in other tropical contries. Therefore to make it look China and Hainan....the craft maker should put "Hainan" words (in English...not Chinese characters), then we bring it to our countries, and give the souvenir to family and friends, they will know that the craft is from Hainan. I would like to suggest to tourism buereu of Hainan to pay attention on this matter. Hainan (esp Haikou and Sanya) is good location for tourism. The kind of souvenir which i discussed above is very important in toursm industry because tourist like to buy something that we cannot find in another places. And to make it special, its easy....just put the name of the place on that things....without the name of the place people do not where it come from. Just a suggestion from me. I love and miss Hainan a lot.
