Let a local show you around Haikou.

🏝️When the north is cold and everything is dormant, I pack my bags and head to warm Haikou. Here, the coconut wind blows gently and the sun is warm. It's a great place to escape the cold winter. Want to know how I get around Haikou? Check out this super complete guide.👇 Travel route 🗺️Day 1: Qilou Old Street → Bell Tower → Cloud Cave Library In the morning, stroll along Qilou Old Street, feel the charm of the Nanyang-style architecture, and taste authentic snacks. In the afternoon, go to the Bell Tower, check in at this landmark building, and then go to the Cloud Cave Library to feel the artistic atmosphere in the wonderful building by the sea. 🗺️Day 2: Holiday Beach → Xixiu Beach Enjoy the sun and sand at Holiday Beach during the day and play in the waves.
