Photo Journal of One Singaporean's Visit to Hainan Island

Lee Xian Jie said:

Boao is a fishing town on the east coast of Hainan Island. They hold the annual Boao Forum for Asia (博鳌亚洲论坛) here. Anyway, they have a tiny primary school with lots of kids. Like most primary and secondary schools in Hainan Island, there are more boys than girls attending school. One of the teachers there said that there are more boys than girls in the school across all levels - Primary One to Six. I just walked in with my uncle and asked the teachers there if we could make some photos. They agreed, so I just went ahead, but promised to send some photos over.

Recommended by razlan: "This post is part of a very interesting series of photography of Hainan Island. XJ managed to capture the essence and heart of this hometown of his. Check out the main blog to see the remaining entries - cheekily coded as "Land's End" - to appreciate the laidback-ness of Hainan Island to our city state"

He's not a journalist by trade, you know. I'm also betting you didn't read the other posts in his series.

Anyone has photos about Hainan street scenes or other parts of China will be wonderful.
Never been to Hainan.

Scope.

Lee Xian Jie has documented his trip with many photographs of the Old Country, and his blog is a good place to visit if you’re ever interested about Hainan and her peoples (with large heads and high foreheads)....
