The Arcade Old Street in Haikou is quite extensive, spanning several streets and alleys, with shops offering a dazzling array of goods, covering everything from food to clothing and daily necessities. There are several parking lots along the Arcade Old Street; we went to the first parking lot, which is underground. We parked for a little over an hour and were charged nine yuan. The food in the Arcade Old Street tends to be pricier, and shopping depends on individual needs—don't buy blindly. I've seen many old streets, but Haikou's Arcade Old Street is the most beautiful one, not only because of its size but also because it has a very modern vibe.

"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~

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. - 🗺Haikou Three-Day Tour Itinerary Day1⃣: Arcade Old Street - Haikou Bell Tower - Yundong Library - Century Bridge - Haida South Gate Night Market Day2⃣: CDF Duty-Free Shop - Guanhai Platform - Xiuying Beach Park/Holiday Beach - Arcade Old Street Day3⃣: Feng Xiaogang Movie Commune - Xitian Temple - Wanlv Garden - Return trip - 🏨Haikou Accommodation ⭕City Center, near Arcade Old Street: There are many delicacies nearby, and it's convenient to go to various popular attractions. ⭕West Coast: Concentration of resort hotels, CDF Haikou Duty-Free City, and the stadium are nearby. ⭕Guanlan Lake: Fewer people and quiet, suitable for a peaceful vacation or family trips. 🍡Must-try Haikou delicacies: Delicious coconut chicken, Qiong Zaozao Vinegar Hotpot, Jufu'an Old Dad Tea, Zhengfanghua Old Dad Tea, Haida South Gate Night Market's Zaozao Vinegar, Qingbu Liang

If you don't know where to stay in Haikou during the National Day, the Huanhai Pavilion Museum Hotel is a good choice. There seem to be 6 rooms in total, each with a different style. The rooftop has a unique terrace, which is great for taking photos and checking in. The restaurant on the first floor is a place where you can drink coffee, eat, and read. There is a record book in the lobby that records the past and present of Haikou, with some precious photos of Haikou's journey. Some people say that if you want to understand the past of this city, go to its museum; if you want to understand the future of this city, you can go to its art gallery👍👍. Staying here, you can step out into the old arcade street, which is very convenient for taking photos and eating. In the afternoon, you can go to the Cloud Cave Library to watch the sunset, eat some delicious food, drink some wine, and enjoy the sea breeze. It's really great👍👍👍.
