New islanders embark on a new life, and the vitality of Hainan Free Trade Port surges

The continuous release of policy dividends not only attracts enterprises from all over the country to invest in Hainan, but also allows a large number of out of town job seekers to see the possibility of "rooting" in Hainan. Step into the life of the 'New Islanders' and feel the warmth and vitality of Hainan Free Trade Port.

A coffee bean is a happy harbor

Do you think this is a tropical rainforest? Actually, it's a coffee experience shop. Tong Shuo is the founder of M1 Coffee Fantasy Factory. In 2015, he became acquainted with Hainan and was deeply attracted by the culture of Xinglong Coffee. They decided to stay.

In Xinglong, there is a coffee shop every few hundred meters. For people in Xinglong, coffee is not just a drink, but also a way of life. Since the implementation of the island wide lockdown, the "zero tariff" policy has significantly reduced the cost of importing high-quality coffee beans from around the world, making customs clearance more efficient and trade more free.

They became the first batch of enterprises to enjoy policy dividends. Due to the exemption of tariffs, they have also achieved direct harvesting of coffee beans from foreign coffee producing areas, reducing the involvement of intermediaries and saving costs. Last month, they also imported a container of duty-free coffee beans. In Xinglong, many people are engaged in coffee related work, and they have over 100 employees here. Everyone can find employment right at their doorstep. A cup of coffee brings happiness to the people.

The Happy Life of Duty Free Shop Managers

Shao Slowly is from Suzhou, Anhui Province, and currently serves as the manager of a daily consumer goods duty-free shop for the residents of Haikou City. From a sales specialist to a store manager, every day is actually fulfilling. Manage stores, inventory goods, adjust product displays, and even make friends from all over the world. In 2020, she got married and officially settled down here.

Since the closure of the entire island in 2025, many changes can be clearly felt. Previously, buying duty-free goods was exclusive to outlying islands, and islanders had to present their outlying island tickets to pay for them. Nowadays, imported milk powder, chocolate, toys, and even imported cleaning and care daily necessities priced at over ten yuan can be purchased and picked up by islanders, which is both convenient and affordable. Of course, she also had new opportunities and truly experienced the rapid development of free trade ports, which gave them more possibilities.
