Celebrated as one of the most esteemed and prolific figures in Chinese culture, Su Dongpo wielded significant influence wherever he ventured during his lifetime. During his exile in Hainan, Su Dongpo developed a strong affinity for donning the local bamboo hat, seldom parting with it. As a tribute to him, this traditional headwear came to bear his name – the Dongpo bamboo hat.
Crafted by skilled artisans from Hainan, bamboo hats are meticulously fashioned using slender strips of split bamboo, providing protection against intense sunlight and rain.
