Beach on Wuzhizhou Island, far southern Hainan province, China.
The most prominent cultural site in Hainan connected to the poet Su Shi (also known as Su Dongpo) is the Dongpo Academy of Classical Learning (Dongpo Shuyuan).
Located near the city of Danzhou in the northwest-central part of the island, the academy was first established in 1098 during Su Shi’s period of exile on Hainan. It served as the site where the poet delivered lectures to his students and remains a significant cultural landmark and tourist attraction today.1
