Boundless Space Exhibition 🪐
The Boundless Space Exhibition is located in MixC mall in Haikou. It is fantastic spot to explore and learn about space for both kids and grown-ups.
The venue has different rooms, and some of them are quite dark but very cool. There is a tour guide providing information about each place you visit. The guide speaks in chinese, I am not sure if they provide an English guide.
Regarding the tickets prices, there are different rates, better to check it online or in person. If you plan to visit, keep in mind that March is the last month for the exhibition.
I highly recommend it!

🇨🇳 云洞图书馆 Haikou Wormhole Library
What a beautiful sunny day in Haikou Hainan.
I bought my air tickets on Trip.com and I arrived at Meilan International airport within 4 hours ish. It is also super easy to get around here and you can even use their ride hailing app to move around. I did not have a local mobile number and I also can use this app.
This 云洞图书馆 Haikou Wormhole Library open recently and it is a library by the seaside. You can enjoy spectacular views and the sunset here is awesome.
I hope I can revisit Hainan very soon.

Southernmost Capital of China | Haikou
#falltrip
Haikou is the capital city of Hainan Province, the southernmost province of China. It is located on the northern coast of Hainan Island, facing the Leizhou Peninsula across the Qiongzhou Strait. It serves as the political, economic, and cultural center of Hainan. The city has a tropical monsoon climate with hot and humid weather. Winters are mild, and summers are hot. Haikou is known for its palm-lined streets and coconut trees.
According to the legend, the Eight Immortals, a group of legendary figures in Chinese mythology, were on a journey. They decided to cross the sea to attend a celestial banquet on Penglai Mountain. Each Immortal used their unique powers to cross the sea, with some flying on clouds, riding magical creatures, or walking on water. The spots where they supposedly landed are associated with various scenic areas and landmarks on the island. The Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea is a popular theme in Chinese art, literature, and folklore, symbolizing endurance, cooperation, and the pursuit of immortality.
Haikou boasts several landmarks, including the Haikou Clock Tower, Century Bridge, and the Tomb of Hai Rui, a Ming Dynasty official. The Old Quarter, with its historic architecture, offers a glimpse into the city's past. The city is home to many parks and gardens. Evergreen Park, Hairui Tomb, and the Volcano Park are popular spots for both locals and tourists. And as a capital city of an Island it has some beaches up it's sleeve, including Holiday Beach and Xixiu Beach, where visitors can enjoy the sun, sea, and various water sports. Haikou also offers a taste of Hainanese cuisine, known for its seafood, coconut-based dishes, and Hainanese chicken rice.
Tips and Tricks ⁉️

Nomnom road to Haikou
I will introduce to you all where I usually will go to eat when returning back to hometown in Hainan, though I’m not from Haikou and from Wanning but Haikou is a place not to missed out because of the food.
Basically from young to old people, Hainanese can’t leave the food called “炸炸” (direct translate is “fried-fried) actually is similar to Loklok, but different thing from loklok is they will remove the skewers for you and drizzle the food with their special sauce. (Every shop will has its own specialty sauce).
So my top 1 to intro for zha zha will be
1) 一件意想不到的事
海霞街與海紅路交叉口
Other than zha zha, there’s also dessert places with chill vibes.
1）A-Z cafe @ 上邦百汇城
2）青木 @ 日月广场
On a side note, 日月广场 is one of the largest mall in Haikou. Address: China, Hainan, Haikou, 琼山区国兴大道南侧
Next, what about dinner?
1) 守柴炉烤鸭 Shou Chai Lu Roast Duck
address： 49-4 Guomao Rd, 49, Longhua District, Haikou, Haikou, Hainan, China, 570125
2) 小龙坎 Xiao Long Kan Hotpot, I know sg has this, try it in Haikou, it’s better.
3) 小肥羊 Little Sheep Hotpot, same sg has this but Haikou one is better

Haikou!
Haikou is the capital city on the island of Hainan and is coastal with various beaches. There is an old town that has a lot of culture and nice buildings which shouldn’t really take longer than a day to explore. The city is smaller than other Chinese cities but there are a lot of areas that have restaurants and bars catering to both expats and local people. In terms of accommodation, there is a wide variety of services to choose from (we stayed at the Holiday Inn which was very nice).#china #travel #haikou #hainan

Haikou MixC Market
📍MixC shopping mall, Guomao, Haikou.
Nice market to visit at night in Haikou. The market provides a large variety of stands where you can try delicious food, buy some toys or accessories, sweets, pets…It is really cool, the only thing is that the market is not always there, they just do it for a week to promote some shops, so if you are interested of visiting it you need to pay attention to the specific date.

New Spanish Restaurant in Haikou 🥘
📍Casa Isla Spain Wine House, Friendship International Trade City D Unit Floor 1 1 FD002 Store, Longhua, Haikou, Hainan China.
New Spanish restaurant in town. We tried a few dishes and all of them were nice! They didn’t have many of the dishes from the menu but I guess because it is new. I can’t wait for ordering fideuá or paella!
