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.

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.

This place seems to have crossed to Nanyang at once, and it looks very contemporary. The combination of ancient and modern, some buildings are really old buildings, but they have become modern connotations. This place can be strolled around, which is quite interesting.
