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.

1⃣Haikou Light Cavalry Old Street
The over 700-year-old Light Cavalry Old Street, with its romantic South Seas charm, is still home to local residents, leaving traces of the years in the city
2⃣Bell Tower
The Gothic-style design, the red bell tower located in the coconut grove, is one of Haikou's architectural landmarks
3⃣Guanhai Platform
The seaside lighthouse really takes great photos, choose a sunny day to come. It looks good at different times, and it's said to be like entering the fairy tale world of Hayao Miyazaki
4⃣Haikou Yundong Library
I can call it one of the most beautiful seaside libraries! You must come here to watch the sunset and the evening glow, it's really beautiful here

A park made up of tens of thousands of coconut trees, a park often visited by locals, the green color is really healing

✨Haikou Food Recommendations
🤓Haikou gathers delicious food from all over Hainan, you must eat Qingbu Liang, Dad's Tea, Coconut Chicken, Hainan Chicken Rice, Seafood, Zao Kas Vinegar, Lingshui Sour Powder, Hainan Noodles and other delicious foods, you should eat happily in Haikou!
✔️If you eat seafood in Haikou, I recommend Alang Seafood's Haikou Hotel branch, I ate at their place last time I came to Hainan! With a large seafood pool, you can choose any seafood, there are private rooms suitable for team building and gatherings, group buying is only a little over 100 per person, and the seafood stir-fry and steamed are so delicious, the surrounding 5 kilometers to Light Cavalry Old Street, Yundong Library are very convenient

Traveling with the elderly
The most important thing is the pace and the experience
During the days of traveling in Haikou with parents
I recommend you to leave the experience to the vacation
Use three hotels corresponding to three areas
To give parents a different kind of trip

▫️ Itinerary Planning
DAY1: Various places - Haikou, Haikou Airport is located in Meilan District, after a tiring journey, today check into a hotel near the Mission Hills Resort area. I recommend Haikou Marriott or Haikou Ritz-Carlton, the hotels have their own leisure parks and golf courses, offering a one-stop vacation relaxation. Leave the parents in the hotel for a good experience and enough safety. After settling down, you can go to the Mission Hills Duty-Free City in the evening for a stroll, and if you have the energy, you can go to the Feng Xiaogang Movie Commune for photos.
DAY2: Move from Mission Hills to the area near Century Park, recommend Haikou Westin Hotel. After checking in, first go to the Arcade Old Street and the Bell Tower to see, these are Haikou's Nanyang-style architecture and also the iconic travel attractions. After that, you can go to the nearby Yundong Library and Century Park, where there are fitness trails, walk in the park, and when tired, just go back to the hotel for a meal. In the evening, if you want to experience the lively atmosphere, the riverside is the bar street, which is within walking distance.
DAY3: Today, you will move from the city center to the west coast of Haikou. Many hotels on the west coast have large parks, from swimming pools to hot springs to the seaside, everything is available. If you want to go shopping in the duty-free city, generally, the hotels on the west coast have free shuttle buses, if you don't want to go out, just walk on the beach, you can spend a very comfortable day. There are not many dining options near the west coast, it is recommended to dine in the hotel.
DAY4: After waking up naturally, return or head to the next destination, depending on the time you can choose to go to the duty-free city or directly to the station or airport.

Played in Haikou for days, an ultra-practical and comprehensive guide
After my real experience in Haikou in January, sisters who are planning to go should read this guide before you leave!
Although Haikou is the provincial capital, it's only the size of a palm and has no subway. Buses, taxis, and electric bikes are all very convenient. Take a taxi directly to the hotel after getting off the plane, and never take an unlicensed cab.
If you choose to travel by electric bike, don't go too far, or you'll end up miserably pushing the bike back, which is really embarrassing.
Before coming to Haikou, be sure to check the weather, as it can rain for several days without notice, which really ruins the experience.
The prices on the Arcade Old Street are a bit high, but it's really worth a visit. There are many delicious snacks and it's great for taking photos. Remember to bargain, it's the most beautiful arcade I've seen so far, with unique windows and reliefs.
Haikou is considered to have the most food options in Hainan. You can't go wrong following the students to the Haida South Gate Night Market and Guilinyang Snack Street.
For duty-free shopping in Haikou, you can go to Riyue Plaza and CDF Duty-Free Shop. The former has been open for a long time, while the latter is newly opened, with more benefits and complete facilities, making for a comfortable shopping experience.
The Yundong Library and Hainan Museum are worth visiting, but remember to make a reservation in advance, as they are extremely popular during peak seasons! They are closed on Mondays, and the Yundong Library looks good from any angle, especially during the sunset.
At the North-South Fruit Market, the joy of fruit is right here, about 4 kilometers from the museum, with a rich variety of fruits and cheap prices, 10💰 for 3 coconuts, 5💰 for a big box of jackfruit, eat to your heart's content.
The Haikou Bell Tower, I think it looks better to take pictures from the opposite side, where there are rows of coconut trees.
Scenic spots suitable for watching the sunset: Century Bridge, Yundong Library, Holiday Beach, Sky Mountain Station. It is recommended to go around 5 PM.
You can rent a cheongsam inside the Feng Xiaogang Movie Commune and take Republic of China-style photos that are very charming.
Xiuying Beach Park is known as one of the eight wonders of Haikou, suitable for leisurely enjoying the seascape and playing with sand on the beach.

Spending the New Year in Haikou
On the first day, upon arriving in Haikou, the first place to visit is the Qilou Old Street. Before entering the old street, you can take pictures of the Haikou Bell Tower across the street. Qilou Old Street is a place where everyone who comes to Haikou will visit. Here, you can taste Hainan Qingbuliang, Hainan fried rice noodles, Baoluo powder and Hainan Wenchang chicken, all of which taste great. Of course. The main reason to come to Qilou Old Street is to take pictures. You can go to the third floor of the boutique homestay recommended by netizens, because you can take a panoramic view of Qilou Old Street, which is very photogenic.
When you're tired, you can go to Shangnantang for afternoon tea. Their partridge tea is also a Hainan specialty. Order a cold-brewed partridge tea, sit by the window and slowly appreciate the beauty of the old street. You can also sit on the terrace to taste the food, leisurely and comfortable. In the evening, you can go to the Cloud Cave Library, where the sunset is very beautiful. You can also take a morning to bring your children to read. In the morning, it is a place with good light, where you can take pictures of the sea and the Century Bridge from the library. On a sunny day, the sea looks particularly blue, and the opposite is the Sky Mountain, which is also one of the landmark buildings in Haikou.
After waking up naturally, go and see the bell tower built by the sea. You can find it by navigating to the Sea Viewing Platform. Then continue to the Haikou International Duty Free City. The basement of the Duty Free City is the food city. After lunch, you can go upstairs and stroll around. Even if you don't buy anything, you can take pictures here. The entire mall is like a dreamy underwater world. You can see beautiful jellyfish and corals as tall as trees, which are really beautiful.
In the afternoon, go to the very famous local Jufu An Old Man Tea for afternoon tea. The dishes here are very rich, with the shadow of everyone's favorite Cantonese morning tea, and many Hainanese specialties. Each dish is very generous. The Fu'an Big Chicken Wing must be eaten, the outside is crispy and the inside is tender, it's really delicious!

Wow! The sunset I saw in Hainan is simply indescribable!
The sunset in Haikou is simply too beautiful! After the sun sets, the sky is poetic and picturesque, gradually changing from golden to pinkish purple, as if entering a dreamy world. The sea, coconut groves, and sunset are intertwined to form a beautiful scene that can only be seen in oil paintings~ If it happens to rain that day, the color of the sunset will be even more colorful! After the sunset, go to the Haida South Gate Night Market for a bowl of Qingbuliang, that's really too happy! 😝
📍Location: Haikou Yundong Library
📸Time: The hour before and after sunset is the most beautiful, the current season's sunset time is 18:00, it is recommended to come from 17:00-19:00~
🔸Tips: You need to make an appointment in advance to enter the library, but you don't need to for the sunset spot~
🍧【Food Recommendation】
❶ Haida South Gate Night Market: Here gathers all kinds of Hainan snacks, two bowls of Qingbuliang are unforgettable, eating two bowls in Hainan every day is not enough! 😭
❷ Zhengfanghua Tea Shop: Hainan Lao Ba Tea is unique, similar to Cantonese dim sum but with Hainan flavor. The red rice sausage and chicken wings here are also worth a try!

Haikou! Burst the ticket circle! Don't say I didn't tell you!!
MAD Ma Gongda's work. I don't really like him so I won't comment from an architect's perspective.. As a tourist, I still found some childhood joy in playing hide and seek and crawling through holes.
When shooting, try to find some angles where the daylight is pouring down, the whole light, space and texture will be good. The lens facing the outdoors will capture the architectural framing, coconut groves, sunset and sea. Overall, it's very photogenic, Ma Gong knows the internet celebrity
Location: Navigate to Cloud Hole Library
