Autonomous county (自治县)
Qiongzhong Li and Miao Autonomous County
The island's geographic centre, and the heart of the protected rainforest interior.
琼中黎族苗族自治县 · Part of Central ecological conservation area
Qiongzhong occupies the centre of Hainan and is the county most fully inside the ecological conservation area and the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park. It is the source area for several of the island's principal rivers, which is a large part of why it is protected.
Its economy is agriculture — rubber, betel nut, tropical fruit and green tea — and nature tourism. There is no designated Free Trade Port key park and no industrial programme, and the protection regime means there will not be one.

Our services
Our practice areas cover the whole life of a foreign-owned presence in Hainan — from the feasibility assessment made before anything is filed, through formation and licensing, payroll, tax and ongoing compliance, to the deregistration that closes an entity properly — alongside the Free Trade Port incentives that are the reason to be here rather than anywhere else in China. One engagement model means a single accountable team across all of them.
