The carnival aims to underscore the theme of "joy for all", enticing both domestic and international visitors to relax and enjoy the natural beauty, ecological wonders, cultural richness, exceptional services and quality of life that Hainan has to offer, said Liu Xiaoming, governor of Hainan.

The opening ceremony on Sunday evening witnessed the performance set against a starry backdrop with light and shadow painting the scene, integrating elements of the Carnival, traditional Li brocade, and Dongpo culture in memory of cultural giant Su Shi, using modern technological means such as drones to depict a joyous panorama unique to Hainan.
