It's very close to the Arcade Old Street and can be reached on foot. ✔️Yundong Library: The sunset view in the evening is absolutely beautiful! Arriving at 5 pm is fine, it's closed on Mondays but it's no problem if you didn't make a reservation, the outside is more beautiful than the inside, and there's a seaside cycling path right next to it, where you can enjoy the sea breeze! ✔️Century Bridge: You can photograph the Century Bridge from the Yundong Library, the night view is beautiful, but it's average during the day ✔️Hainan Provincial Museum: Advance reservation is required, the cultural and creative ice cream is 15r each and looks pretty - 🍧Food: Hainan University South Gate Night Market: Very lively! Lots of people! Qingbu Liang, Zaopei vinegar, Lingshui sour noodles are all cheap, fruits are 15r for 2 boxes!

A time capsule in Haikou

Exploring the Old Town in Haikou was like stepping into a charming time capsule. This neighborhood boasts captivating old architecture that exudes character and history. Wandering through the narrow lanes, you'll discover a treasure trove of local shops offering an array of affordable goodies, from handcrafted items to delectable fruits. The seafood restaurants here are a true culinary delight, serving up the freshest catch of the day. The blend of flavors and aromas wafting through the air is simply irresistible.

What caught my attention were the numerous photo spots sprinkled throughout the area. Whether it's a quaint alleyway adorned with lanterns or a picturesque corner showcasing traditional architecture, the Old Town presents endless opportunities to capture its unique essence.#haikou #trip #instatravel #goodfoods

Old European Style Area in Haikou, Hainan

Qilou Old Street is a surreal little area in the middle of Haikou, Hainan. For brief moments it really does feel like you are walking down the streets of a traditional Portuguese town. There were some cute little cafes and boutique shops to wander around, ideal if you want to spend an afternoon there just taking it easy and drinking coffee. Best way to get there is probably a didi. The location is relatively central so wont cost much from wherever you are in the city. Enjoy 😊 #europeanarchitecture in #china #cafe ##coffee

A taste of old in the new

A walk down this street in Haikou is a nice way to spend an hour or two. The buildings are well maintained and the streets nice and clean. There are some lovely coffee shops along the way which are worth a visit. Be careful not to walk too far or else you might end up in the wet market which was not too pleasant 😂#urbanexplorer #tripblazers #foodie #foodie #urbanexplorer #awesomepic

I never expected to see the sunset when I went to see the sea, and it was so beautiful

The sunset glow in Haikou is really too beautiful! After the sunset, the sky gradually changes from golden yellow to pinkish purple. The sea, coconut groves, and sunset glow make up a scene that you would only see in an oil painting. If it has rained earlier in the day, the colors of the sunset glow will be even more beautiful! After the sunset, going to the night market at the south gate of Haida to have a bowl of Qingbu Liang is really too joyful! Location: Yundong Library, Haikou City Time: The most beautiful time is within one hour before and after sunset. The current season's sunset time is 18:00, and it is recommended to come between 17:00 and 19:00. Tips: You need to make a reservation in advance to enter the library, but you do not need to reserve a spot for watching the sunset.

I just came back from Haikou in June, and this Haikou fashion photography check-in travel guide note must be kept well

Compared to Sanya tourism, Haikou's presence is too low. But did you know? Haikou also has many internet-famous check-in spots worth visiting, very suitable for a day trip for photography and check-ins. However, many of these spots have changed. I just came back from Haikou in June, please keep this Haikou travel guide note: Must-visit fashion check-in spots for a day trip in Haikou a, Cloud Cave Library; b, Arcade Old Street; c, Bell Tower; d, ;b, Mountain Sky Station; e, Hainan University South Gate Night Market; f, Xixiu Beach Park Transportation Suggestions Plane: Get off at Haikou Meilan Airport and take a taxi to the city attractions, all within 40, very cheap High-speed train: There are Haikou Station, Haikou East Station, and Meilan Station, suitable for friends flying from places like Sanya, transfer to Haikou East Station, that's where I got off. When traveling to Haikou from June to September, the following points must not be neglected 1, Cloud Cave Library must be booked a few days in advance, otherwise, you can only take photos outside like me 2, Be sure to choose a sunny day to go to the seaside, don't be like my last picture, going to Xixiu Beach Park, bad weather really doesn't produce good photos 3, Hainan University is not open to the public. Just go to the Hainan University South Gate Night Market for a stroll, don't allocate time for Hainan University 4, If you want to take fashionable photos with few people, it is recommended to get up early. Mountain Sky Station has a nice sunset, but you must also go on a sunny day 5, The Bell Tower is right opposite the Arcade Old Street, although it is not open, it is very suitable for photography and check-ins Accommodation Recommendations For students, it is preferred to stay near the Hainan University South Gate Night Market, convenient to go directly to the hotel after visiting the night market For families with children, it is recommended to stay near Xixiu Beach Park, more convenient for children to play in the sand.

Great Theme Park in Haikou

While planning this trip, my friend suggested this amusement park. Though loving thrilling experiences, I shall admit that some of them freak me out 😬 I went to my first amusement park two years ago in China and swore that I’ll never go again 🙈 BUT I was pleasantly surprised by the diversity of entertainment there: horror room, rollercoasters, stunt show, immersive 3D, merry-go-round, swing rides… etc The stunt show was impressive! If you don’t want to miss it, check the time at the entrance or ask any worker at the park. There are also restaurants and a live DJ at night! There’s a lot to see and do! One can easily spend the whole day there! The immersive 3D ones were my favourites!

Haikou, half of which is a strait, half of which is a unique resource of volcanoes. In addition to the endowments of blue sea and blue sky, tropical vegetation, and characteristic neighborhoods, there is also China's only urban volcano China's Leiqiong World Geopark Haikou Park~ walk Among them, tropical fruit forests and primitive vegetation are scattered and natural, perfect, and there is a little known about the Wizard of Oz, even the Hai Rui of the Ming Dynasty. After visiting here, they also left the poem "The Drop of Water on the River": The combination of the Millennium volcanic culture and the tropical ecological landscape constitutes a geological park with the volcanic ecology and culture of the tropical city. You may not know that this is also the highest point of Haikou; all the way along the crater, it will pass through the highest point of the Haikou Volcano World Geopark, which is only 200 meters above sea level. When the weather is fine, it is even more You can see spectacular tropical rainforest scenery, geological wonders, ancient village sites and the bustling city. It seems like the water is flowing, the time is light; We are listening to the wind and the leaves of the whisper; turning in this quaint quiet path, quite forgetting the illusion of time; In the footsteps of going far and returning, in the rising sun and in the midst of the sun, the long stretch.

A fairyland on earth, right in the Leiqiong Volcanic World Geopark

After the rain, the volcanic park seems like a gift from nature, with exceptionally fresh air; walking on the volcanic rainforest boardwalk, enjoying the feeling of being covered by dense vegetation on both sides; visiting the volcanic museum, learning about various bits of knowledge about volcanoes, as well as the distribution of global geoparks; walking along the crater trail, experiencing the cool sensation deep in the cave; climbing to the top of the mountain, there are 4 directions from which to gaze into the distance, namely front Vermilion Bird (towards Guanhai direction), rear Black Tortoise (towards Haikou direction), left Azure Dragon (towards the strait direction), and right White Tiger (towards the direction of the volcanic cluster). After touring the volcanic park, we went to eat spicy stir-fried Ding'an black pork and Hainan chicken rice flour, truly a fulfilling half-day harvest. Reminder🎈: It was drizzling and foggy the day we went, and we couldn't see the distant views from the mountain top, which was a bit of a pity, so everyone should try to choose a clear day to travel.
