Brief introduction of traditional residential buildings in Hainan

The pattern of traditional houses in Hainan is generally an independent quadrangle brick house, with the hall as its main body and the center of the family. Next to the left side of the hall are two small rooms, a kitchen near the courtyard wall and a utility room where food or tools are placed. Some utility rooms also have beds, and families with many children often live in them. Facing the kitchen is a small courtyard door, which is also a tile house. You can pile things or cool things in rainy days. Close to the courtyard gate and against the courtyard wall are woodshed and toilet, which are used to place farm tools or chicken coops. However, fruit trees are planted next to the walls of general residential courtyards, which not only plays a beautiful and green role, but also can be cooler. Hainan's hot days are long, and when fruit trees blossom and bear fruit, there are always fragrant flowers sneaking into the night with the wind, accompanying residents to sleep.
