This museum was extremely well organized, with exhibits numbered for those that like a more structured journey through history. Most exhibits were translated into English (fairly well!) and included a beautiful blend of display cases, models, and themed rooms with audio/visual elements. Even though the front was under renovations, the rest of the museum was beautifully done and had plenty on offer about the history of hainan from shipwrecks to food and culture and ancient ancestors. Best of all, it’s free! Just be sure to bring your passport/ID card!

Passed by this movietown in 2017 after touchdown at Haikou airport, but decided to give it a miss as the Chinese New Year crowd back then was too crazy to even queue to get tickets to go in. Fortunately this time round the crowd was lesser, so we managed to get in relatively fast (still need to spend a bit of time queuing up to collect admission passes even though we had purchased tickets online the day before). In short this movie town has 2 main zones, the 1949-era (featuring buildings and streets from post-WW2) and the "Nanyang" streets (Shanghai-era with colonial shophouses similar to those in Malaysia and Singapore). Inside the 1940-era zone there is a sub-zoned called "Fang Hua", which was built for the filming for the movie of the same name, and had since then been left as an attraction. There is another zone that is still in the process of building, the old Beijing street. The buildings in the movie town looked very charming and photo-taking spots are plenty. Unlike other similar theme parks that I've been to, this movie town has a number of photo-taking stalls within the movie town itself which allows you to rent their period costumes to take pictures with within the entire movie town, instead of just taking photos in front of a photo backdrop (only exception is that some costumes are not allowed in the "Fang Hua" sub-zone due to political sensitivity). Anyway a small personal observation: the buildings in the "Fang Hua" zone are not as "concrete" as the other buildings in other parts of the movie town. Not that they are crumbly or look like they are unsturdy, but they give me a sense of feeling that they are not meant to last for too long. So does that mean that the zones within the movie town will expand, or will some older zones be torn down to make way for newer zones? I do not have the answer to that, but I do feel that might be possible. If my guess is correct, then it means this movie town would be a place which one can go back once in a few years to explore new stuffs (if you like it in the first place).
