The architectural features of Hainan;

Most of the earliest immigrants in Hainan migrated from southern Fujian, and the early dwellings reflected the profound southern Fujian customs. Subsequently, a large number of Hainan people went to Nanyang to make a living and brought back Nanyang culture. The integration of Hainan folk houses into Southeast Asian style not only affected traditional folk houses, but also the blending of multiple architectural elements was the biggest feature of Hainan folk houses.

"Fishing raft" is one of the typical styles of Yi folk houses in Hainan. In order to meet the needs of production and life in the new era, it was built on the basis of continuing the functions of traditional water-dwelling boat houses and water-hanging houses (also known as "Yi sheds"). It is also a folk house style built by modern Yi families to adapt to aquaculture, which integrates agriculture, fishing and living.
