The opening ceremony of the Sanyuesan Festival was held at the "End of the Earth" (Tianyahaijiao) tourist zone in Sanya on April 12, presenting an audio-visual feast, delivered in the style of the Li and Miao ethnic groups, to locals and tourists from all over the world.
This year's gala demonstrated innovation in many ways, as it not only presented the Li and Miao customs of Sanya, but also invited people from the Zhuang and Yao ethnicities in the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region to enjoy the festival together.
Sanya is a pioneer in the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, and the local ethnic minority areas will surely usher in a great development opportunity, said Wang Dong, vice mayor of Sanya, while addressing the audience. Wang called on all ethnic groups to team up to promote Sanya's economic development and raise living standards in ethnic minority areas.
