From April 13th to the 17th, teams of reporters will get a hands-on feel for the vitality of the Hainan FTP by visiting places such as Haikou, Lingshui, Qionghai, Sanya, and Wenchang; and by making interviews and reports on important events such as the 5th China International Consumer Products Expo and the Invest in China · 2025 Global Industrial Investment Promotion Conference for the Hainan FTP.

Members of the interview team have high expectations for this activity. “The 12 carefully planned locations for this event, are like 12 windows, allowing everyone to observe the ‘panoramic puzzle’ of the construction of the FTP up close. At the same time, we are always thinking about how to use our own personal perspectives. Taking our trips around the island as a starting point, we want to tell well the stories of the development of the FTP,” said He Zhuoyan (Sichuan International Communication Center).

Li Jiaying (a reporter from the Economic Department of China Daily) said: "Today's Hainan FTP is not only a new frontier of China's reform and opening up, it is also a window for the world to observe China's high-quality development. Giving full play to its advantages in international communications, China Daily will report on the progress of the construction of the Hainan FTP, tell Hainan's stories to the world, deliver in-depth perspectives of Chinese opportunities, and promote real people-to-people exchanges and connections."

As this year marks the launch of the FTP’s special customs operations, this activity will vividly demonstrate Hainan's active exploration and remarkable achievements in comprehensively deepening reform and striving to build itself into an important gateway leading China's opening up in the new era.
