Introduction to Easter Island: Easter Island is located in the southeastern Pacific Ocean, covering an area of about 117 square kilometers, and is now part of the Valparaiso region of the Republic of Chile. There are currently about 2,000 residents on the island, all of whom belong to the Polynesian race. Before Westerners arrived on this island, it was still in the Stone Age of mankind. They only had language but no writing. Because the island is full of rocks, no crops can grow, only sweet potatoes that are easy to grow can be grown. The islanders originally relied on fishing, a few grew sweet potatoes, and most of them were engaged in the tourism service industry. The island's native Polynesians call the island "the center of the world."
