Traditional housing culture of Hainan: it is made of crude materials which can be easily found nearby, and constructed by individual mode. It cannot only ward off the rain and wind, but also can avoid people from the wild animals. The structure and shape of the house fit to stand the powerful sunshine, typhoon and storm of Hainan. They embody the sage and special construction culture of Hainan local people. The crude material is very simple, such as bamboo, lateral trunk, thatch and leaves. It has less effect on the virgin forest.
