China’s Largest Tourist Island Turns Desolate: No Young People in Peak Season

He explained that, as an ordinary university graduate who relocated to Hainan for work, he used to “earn and spend in Hainan.” Now, however, he earns in Hainan but spends outside the island. Born and raised in northwest China, he was drawn to Hainan by its blue skies, white clouds, and ocean views. Last year, his parents flew to visit him. His father was eager to try mantis shrimp, but holiday prices were shocking. A type that usually costs 70 to 80 yuan per jin had surged to nearly 300 yuan—almost quadrupling. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, the family visited Sanya, only to find hotel rates equally outrageous. A room that typically costs just over 200 yuan was priced at 900 yuan. While he loves Hainan, he said the steep holiday price hikes are unreasonable and have turned peak tourist seasons into off-seasons, leaving popular areas deserted.
