Boundary
Province is not a metro area
Resident population is the year-end region-wide total: 10.48 million in 2024. Administrative land area (35,400 sq km) is territory inside the provincial-level boundary, not built-up area. Land area only; administered sea area excluded.
Economy
How to read the structure
In 2024, Hainan's GDP reached 0.79 trillion yuan and real GDP grew 3.7 percent. 2024 industry structure: primary 20.5%, secondary 18.9%, tertiary 60.6%.
International scale check
Compared with Ecuador
Selected for similar economic scale: Ecuador.
Not a like-for-like rank
Ecuador's nominal GDP (~US$0.12T, World Bank 2024) is close to Hainan's provincial-level GDP after indicative USD conversion (~US$0.11T).
Hainan is China’s island province and free trade port with tourism, services and tropical agriculture; Ecuador is a sovereign country. GDP proximity is a scale reference only. Population, area, administrative status and economic structure are not directly comparable.
