What places can I visit in Haikou?

Hainan is rich in tourism resources and has very convenient transportation. Now Hainan has opened a high-speed rail around the island, but whenever people mention Hainan, they always talk about Sanya. It seems that Haikou, the capital city of Hainan, is always forgotten by everyone. In fact, the living environment in Haikou is better than that in Sanya. Haikou used to be a quiet island with clean streets and coconut trees swaying in the wind. With the development of economy, Haikou has become the political, economic and cultural center of Hainan Province. Haikou is also the transportation hub of Hainan Island. The unique natural and human resources here are unmatched by other cities in Hainan Island. It is also the easiest place for tourists to experience Hainan's local life and learn about Hainan's history.

Haikou is not commercialized as Sanya. There are many places worth visiting in Haikou. If you come to Hainan and don't go to Haikou, you must leave a lot of regrets. Here, I recommend "Top Ten Places Not to Be Missed in Haikou Tourism" to help you better understand the tourism and history of Haikou.

If a city can impress outsiders at first, then recalling history will definitely touch the softest place in people's hearts. In this old city, Chinese and western cultures blend together, and you can also feel the face of the old city of Haikou and see the street life of Haikou people. After more than 700 years, the mottled old walls here still exude the charm of Nanyang. Haikou has been demolished at 1924 for hundreds of years. The pattern of the whole city has developed along the coastline, so the arcade has become a symbol of once bustling and noisy here. Walking into the arcade, quaint colonnades, terraces, window lintels and reliefs can be seen everywhere, bringing people elegant ancient charm and artistic beauty.

Haikou Qilou Old Street is a famous historical and cultural street in China. Named for crossing the sidewalk. The arcade was first introduced to Nanyang by the Spanish and the British when they colonized Nanyang. Overseas Chinese returning from Nanyang brought the form of arcade back to the coastal areas of South China in China, and it gradually became popular. Because this area is hot in summer and there is a lot of rain, buildings like arcades can prevent sun and rain. And this wall-to-wall and floor-to-floor design also makes everyone like a big family. The arcade floor is generally only two or three stories high, and the upper floor of the shop is residential. Now many cities are facing demolition and reconstruction. In the process of urbanization, many dilapidated and mottled arcades in Haikou Old Street are gradually disappearing. Many old overseas Chinese who come back from Nanyang to worship their ancestors always take a walk in Haikou and tell their friends and children the stories here.
