With the Spring Festival approaching, people across Hainan province are busy preparing for the seven-day holiday that begins on Jan 31.
A new beauty center that offers boutique beauty items for sale opened on Saturday at the TIMESDF Haikou Mission Hills Duty Free Town.
Located in the Aquarius at Riyue Square in Haikou, the second phase of the Global Duty-Free (GDF) Plaza project opened on Aug 30.
The second phase of the Global Duty-Free (GDF) Plaza project will open in late August, a representative from Hainan Development Holdings announced on Aug 15.
Offshore duty-free sales in Hainan province hit 45.5 billion yuan ($7.11 billion) during June 1 of 2020 to May 31 of 2021, a surge of 236 percent from a year earlier, the chinanews.com reported on Monday.
China's enhancement of offshore duty-free shopping policies has boosted the growth of local tourism consumption and trade in South China's Hainan province and promoted the construction of the Hainan international tourism consumption center, said officials with the provincial government.
With a total construction area of some 39,000 square meters, Global Boutique Haikou Duty-Free City (GDF Plaza) is located in the Aquarius Building (1-3 F) and the Capricorn Building (1-2 F) in Haikou's Mova Plaza. The first phase opening saw some 3,000 sqm opened in the Capricorn Building, featuring key categories such as perfume & cosmetics, wine & spirits, and consumer technology, sunglasses, watches, and other items.
