Haikou Travel Guide! Personally tested! No tourist traps!

This place is very suitable for living, the cost of living is not high! Tourist attractions are very concentrated, perfect for zoning out and resting~ - 📍Haikou city walk itinerary: Day1: Haikou Arcade Old Street ➡️ Hengxingfa Tea Shop (Dad's Tea) ➡️ Haikou Bell Tower ➡️ Xitian Temple ➡️ Haikou Yundong Library ➡️ Century Bridge ➡️ Snack Street at the South Gate of Hainan University Day2: Zhengfanghua (Dad's Tea) ➡️ Hainan Provincial Museum ➡️ Haikou Riyue Plaza Duty-Free Shop ➡️ Jiujii Dessert - 🏝️Attractions: ✔️Arcade Old Street: The 700-year-old Arcade Old Street is the calling card of Haikou city, with Southeast Asian style architecture that's great for street photography! The boutique guesthouse 'Jianwai' (250r/night) on the third floor offers a view of the street scene, free for hotel guests, and if you're not staying, ordering a drink for about 30r will do! ✔️Bell Tower: Gothic architecture, the red bell tower is located among the coconut groves, a landmark of Haikou! It's very close to the Arcade Old Street and can be reached on foot. ✔️Yundong Library: The sunset view in the evening is absolutely beautiful! Arriving at 5 pm is fine, it's closed on Mondays but it's no problem if you didn't make a reservation, the outside is more beautiful than the inside, and there's a seaside cycling path right next to it, where you can enjoy the sea breeze! ✔️Century Bridge: You can photograph the Century Bridge from the Yundong Library, the night view is beautiful, but it's average during the day ✔️Hainan Provincial Museum: Advance reservation is required, the cultural and creative ice cream is 15r each and looks pretty - 🍧Food: Hainan University South Gate Night Market: Very lively! Lots of people! Qingbu Liang, Zaopei vinegar, Lingshui sour noodles are all cheap, fruits are 15r for 2 boxes! Xitian Temple: A street full of snacks, all kinds of sticky rice, seafood, desserts, fruits... Hengxingfa Dad's Tea: Recommended! Really delicious! Dad's Tea is 5r per cup and you can get a free refill, pineapple buns, taro treasures, French toast, signature big buns, seafood noodles, all kinds of tea shops, everything is tasty... Zhengfanghua Dad's Tea: Not exaggerating! I ate there two meals in a row! A wide variety, you can find all Haikou delicacies, red rice sausage, mango rice rolls, pineapple spare rib buns... too much to finish, and it's not expensive! Jiujii Dessert: So good you'll forget to leave, with lots of durian flesh... Dong San Jie Dessert: At Xitian Temple! It's crowded and I think it's just average... Chicken feces vine, sweet potato milk, hard to describe, just eat! Starfruit Tree Braised Noodles: Not worth a special trip just to check in! Internet-famous seafood braised noodles, good for photos, but the taste is average! - 🛍️Duty-Free Shop Haikou has a total of 5 duty-free shops, make sure to note! Remember to collect coupons in advance!! There are 3 shops from Zhongmian, 1 from Haikong, and 1 from Shenmian. If you don't have enough time, you can also buy online and pick up at the airport, which also has duty-free shops.
