Hainan Arcade Street|Hiding the world's fireworks, full of long years
"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~
The nearby Feng Xiaogang Film Commune should come over at night! The lighting is beautiful and suitable for all kinds of punch cards! Wearing ancient clothes with unique buildings is definitely a new movie! Features!
Loved this area in Haikou ! feels like a different world! full of cute coffee shops and little shops to spend your time browsing ! definitely a must visit when in Haikou!
I went to Haikou to live nearby for the old street of the arcade. A shop, a brick, every door went to check in, I really like the type of literary, retro and a little petty bourgeoisie. [View] Especially literary style, when I went there was not particularly crowded, I played very carefully. With the literary style of the sea. [Fun] The shops are all content that the traditional pedestrian street will have, and it is not so worth buying and buying, but it is very interesting to go shopping all over. [Cost-effective] As long as you go shopping with reason, the price/performance ratio is very high.
Nanluoguxiang in Haikou, a shopping street with people coming and going.
The place that must go to Haikou is very cultural, and the Haikou Municipal Government also attaches great importance to it. It is really upgrading, and now it seems to be a 4AAAA level scenic spot. Next time I bring my mother over, I will still go to the place.
When you come to Haikou, you will definitely go to the old street of Qilou. This is a historical and cultural district of Qilou architecture. The building should be built in the early years of Nanyang Overseas Chinese, and the architectural style is unique. Now Qilou Old Street is already a block integrating business, culture, art, history and so on. A variety of goods, food, art, cultural goods, art performances gathered together, is a not to be missed visitation place.
The old street of Qilou is located on the banks of Haidian River in Haikou City, beside the Changdi Road. It is basically a white building on 1 to 3 floors. It is clean and tidy. The arcades are connected to a long corridor. Each arcade is an old brand, which is a landscape painting with its own characteristics. The old street of the arcade, both historical and times, through the old street, you can see the precipitation of history, but also feel the strong fireworks. [Haikou Archive History] The archway is a modern commercial and residential building. The bottom floor of the building retreats along the street and leaves space for people to walk, which has the effect of sheltering sunlight and wind and rain. In 1849, the first riding building was built on Sipailou Street in Haikou City. It was built by Qiong merchants returning from Southeast Asia. The riding floors are not too high. Most of the two or three floors are still reserved. Some of them still retain the earlier merchants and beautiful carved flowers such as railings, doors and windows. There is a sense of vicissitudes through history. [Recommended snacks] There are a lot of snacks in the old street, I have eaten a lot, the taste is average, there is no special feature. Recommend Hainan Food Court at the intersection of Boai North Road, Hainan Dad Tea inside the "Yiyi Seafood Restaurant" on the 1st floor, snacks are dazzling, high quality, you can relax, afternoon tea 12 yuan a pot, you can renew water, food recommended quicksand buns, sauce fragrant money belly, fresh shrimp siu mai and fried Chencun powder. In addition, it is recommended to walk along Shuixiangkou Street to the deep end, and at the junction with the local area, it is a vegetable market, nearby Suji pig feet, Linji spicy soup rice, etc., is also a place for local residents to eat, the price is moderate, and the taste is good. [Transportation parking] For self-driving friends, parking is a pain point. The old street of Qilou is built along the Changdi Road, stretching for nearly 2 kilometers. It is directly navigated to the old street. In the tourist season, there are 5 parking lots on Changdi Road. They are all overcrowded and parking spaces are difficult to find. I went to the old street twice and didn't find a parking space. Self-driving, it is recommended to navigate Haikou No. 2 Middle School. On the north side of the Haidian River, there are few vehicles on Haidian East Road by the river. As long as the parking spaces are painted on the road, you can park for free. Cross the river along the People's Avenue Bridge, that is, to Qilou Old Street, very close. In addition, the night view of the old street is also very beautiful.
The architectural style of the arcade is very unique and has typical southern characteristics. Along the street, there are a long arcade, which can not only shade the sun but also shelter from the rain. Walking downstairs, it feels like the owner of the store or the local residents of the arcade have pulled into the distance instantly. The small shops downstairs are full of flowers, things are cheap, very market atmosphere, a transpiration of fireworks, calm and lively, people are very missed.
