Live: Lingshui's Tanka fishing rafts – A living heritage afloat in Hainan
Tanka people, also referred to as Danjia, have historically lived on boats and earned their livelihood from fishing in the coastal waters of southern China. In Hainan Province, they have developed distinct water-based cultures reflected in their language, customs, beliefs and way of life.
The sixth China International Consumer Products Expo is scheduled to take place from April 13 to 18 in Haikou, capital of south China's Hainan Province. It marks the first edition of the event since the Hainan Free Trade Port fully launched island-wide special customs operations. The expo not only shoulders the responsibility of showcasing domestic and foreign consumer goods but also serves as an important window for China to open up to the world and demonstrate its open attitude. Join CGTN to enjoy more fascinating scenery from the province.
