The Arcade Old Street in Haikou is quite extensive, spanning several streets and alleys, with shops offering a dazzling array of goods, covering everything from food to clothing and daily necessities. There are several parking lots along the Arcade Old Street; we went to the first parking lot, which is underground. We parked for a little over an hour and were charged nine yuan. The food in the Arcade Old Street tends to be pricier, and shopping depends on individual needs—don't buy blindly. I've seen many old streets, but Haikou's Arcade Old Street is the most beautiful one, not only because of its size but also because it has a very modern vibe.

"Cities with sea seem to be more romantic", the Arcade Street has a long history. As a street view with unique characteristics in Haikou, it is not a single street, but a whole architectural group~ The architecture has a strong Nanyang color, suitable for photo punching, mottled imprints, exuding the atmosphere of historical culture, as if through the old time. Tour time is about 2h In addition to the shops and food streets, there are two arcade culture and style exhibition halls in the Arcade Street, so take a card together, the photos are very good. Dress mainly in summer clothes The current temperature in Haikou is about 20 degrees, it is slightly cold in the morning with short sleeves, the sun is just right at noon, it is recommended to bring a thin jacket. Self-driving parking There is basically no position in the first 1234 parking lot near the arcade on holidays. You can navigate to "Duobao Li Commercial Plaza", there is an underground parking lot. If you don't have to drive into the old street, don't go, the road is narrow and there are many battery cars~ Local food Old salt papaya🌱Refreshing hand-beaten papaya, suitable for hot summer days, with a unique taste in Hainan, some people may not be used to drinking. Super delicious Hainan pickled powder🌱Very characteristic of Hainan, we chose mixed Hainan powder, you can also try other types of powder in the store. Coconut treasure🌱Choose a small one, the local people reveal that the smaller the coconut treasure, the better the taste, it is a very sweet taste, you can try it, it seems that the big coconut treasure is actually very empty and very firewood. There are many different coconut choices, personally feel🌱Milk coconut🌿is the best drink, because the sweetness is the highest Friends who want to eat coconut meat can also buy a coconut egg to taste. I don't understand the local seafood, so I won't recommend it. If you are interested, you can also try the snails inside, the boss is nice, buy less and taste. There are many exhibition halls and shops in the Arcade Street that show Hainan culture, you can walk around and shop, suitable for buying some handmade souvenirs to take home Durian coffee is a feature. If you like durian, you must try it. Fresh durian with coffee is very good. This "Nanyu Tea Making" is not bad, 32 yuan/cup, a super large piece of pulp. Photo building There are shops on the second and third floors by the window, and overhead shots can avoid a large crowd. The architecture has a sense of age at close range, and the overhead close-up is very good. Fruit vendors can try it, compared with the local supermarket, the price of waxberry, mangosteen and so on is about the same, about 20 yuan/jin, not cheap but fresh, remember to ask a few stall aunts to compare prices. Be cautious about pearl jewelry There are also many pearl jewelry shops in the old street. I checked that Hainan is not a pearl producing area, so the quality is not good. However, if you want to look good, it's okay, so everyone has their own opinions~ There is a special women's toilet next to the Haikou Intangible Cultural Heritage Exhibition Hall Remember to navigate, turn left at the main entrance and there is a sign, 50 meters away from the other public toilet, the line is very long, here is basically empty haha~
