A national-level intangible cultural heritage, Lingao Puppet Show, is one of Hainan's distinctive traditional performing arts. What makes it especially unique is its "puppet-and-performer-on-stage" style, in which puppets and performers appear and move together as one.

With its colorful costumes, expressive movements and lively local flavor, the art has been passed down in Lingao for centuries, offering visitors a glimpse into the island’s rich folk traditions and cultural memory.

Come to Lingao in northern Hainan Island, and let the puppets bring an old Hainan story to life.
