China Daily  

Qiandui village on Hainan Island is surrounded by water every year during the rainy season. Members of the Li ethnic group of Qiandui in Hainan province love to call their village "a grassland in spring and summer and a sea in autumn and winter". With mountains on three sides, and the upper branches of the Wanquan River on the fourth, fields in front of Qiandui village in Qiongzhong, center of the tropical island, become a "grassland" when villagers grow vegetables, maize, peanuts and rice, as the dry season starts in spring and summer. In 2014, about 40 percent of Qiandui's 1,121 residents were poverty-stricken, with a per capita annual income of 3,800 yuan, says Hu, who runs a three-floor homestay, the largest and most eye-catching one in Qiandui. Fu Yuzhi, a head official of Qiandui, says the life of the villagers began to improve in 2015, when the provincial government and the Qiongzhong county authorities launched supporting programs and provided 30 million yuan of funds to build roads and bridges, and supply natural gas and 4G telecommunication networks that would link the village with the outside world.
