"In October 2018, this land was still a mudflat by the sea. In the evening, when I saw the setting sun and the colorful clouds in the sky, I was deeply shocked. I made up my mind to convey this natural beauty to the world." Song Guohong, partner of France VP Architectural Design Firm and general manager of China, introduced that inspired by this, he led the team to incorporate the unique natural and marine elements of Hainan into the design of the main building of Haikou International Duty Free City, and is committed to creating characteristic buildings rooted in the local area.

"The temperature in summer is very high, and the heat generated by welding is much higher than the temperature."

Seeing the construction site has new changes every day, everyone is full of pride."

Through 8 strange creatures, consumers can roam in an immersive way from the first perspective, experience the Hainan story, appreciate the Hainan style, and create a new new cultural and tourism landmark." staff member of Zhongdu Group introduced.
In order to enhance consumers' interactive experience, Haikou International Duty Free City has implanted more cultural elements.
