Along the coast of Lingshui in Hainan Province, fishing rafts tell the story of a community whose life has long revolved around the sea. The Tanka people, also known as Danjia, have traditionally lived aboard boats and fished the coastal waters of southern China. In Hainan, this close connection to the water has shaped their language, customs, beliefs and daily routines. Here, the sea is both a source of livelihood and a place to call home. That sense of belonging is at the heart of celebrations for the Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day, bringing together the warmth of family reunions and shared hopes for the country's prosperity. #NiHaoChina
