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.

Take a walk with your family to Century Park and visit the Internet Red Library. It is a net red. This building is absolutely amazing! It's so beautiful! It's a worthwhile trip, but there are too many people during the Spring Festival and I decided to take pictures and punch in after a while.
Haikou Yundong Library is committed to promoting Haikou public welfare reading, improving the urban humanistic atmosphere, carrying the core content of public service, humanistic construction, tourist landmarks, urban history, cultural and creative development and other high-level public spaces.
The Yundong Library is very stylish, the decoration and style are beautiful, and the scenery outside is also beautiful. Special reminder, you need to make an appointment in advance before going, there are requirements for appointments, it seems that children under 8 years old cannot make an appointment to enter. The first time we took the children, we didn't go in 😊 There are many facilities for children to play outside the library, which is very suitable for children.
If you have not seen the sea, you can come to the beach for a walk, otherwise you are not recommended to come. The punchers with a sea of people can be seen everywhere in the concave shape of various short skirts. The library needs to make an appointment, but they can be seen through the glass window. Most of the people inside are obviously punchers. Most of the mobile phones are scratched, there is no idleness introduced online, the mixture of art and book fragrance is full of noise and affectation, personally do not like, it is not recommended that people come specially during the peak season.
The current bookstore is really more and more interesting, but it is more and more interesting to put on the content of the books. The independence of the bookstore is also becoming more and more distinctive. Xiaodao, a celebrity bookstore from Beijing, has enough stories for the island owner to write a few articles after a meal. The location plus The perfect re-engraved island house is here to read a book. It is only in the second place. The island house is located in the Binjiang Century Park. The core and superior location are matched with the streamlined design of the island house itself. It does have its own net red attributes. So there are many little brothers and sisters who come to punch in. The old uncles and old milk are not left behind. The sunset is still stormy and the rain is the only peace here. It's pretty good.
Haikou Yundong Library, the upper and lower floors are very beautiful, and the night view at night is more beautiful.
