Introduction to Hainan University

Hainan University is a comprehensive key university formed by the merger of the former South China Tropical Agriculture University and the former Hainan University in August 2007.

The school upholds the school motto of "Have inclusive of rivers and rivers, and promotes the future", and promotes the school spirit of "self-reliance, dedication, honesty and perseverance"

The former South China University of Tropical Agriculture was founded in 1958 and is closely integrated with the Chinese Academy of Tropical Agricultural Sciences founded in 1954.

The original Hainan University started hard on a wasteland in 1983 and established the province's largest professional system with extensive social radiation and influence, and became a provincial comprehensive key university
