5 Trips to Haikou, Here's My Guide! A Song Brought Me to This City

Hey guys👫, is there a song that makes you yearn for the coastal city of Haikou? I was drawn to Haikou's warmth by the song "Please Come to the Ends of the Earth" and its lyrics, "Please come to the ends of the earth, where spring is eternal." In February, I set foot on this land and embarked on a leisurely journey. Here's my guide💕. Attractions • Qilou Old Street: The street is lined with Nanyang-style arcades, featuring exquisite carvings and vintage shutters. At the Dad's Teahouse by the street, order a cup of partridge tea, listen to the elderly chatting, and feel the hustle and bustle of the city, as if traveling back in time. • Holiday Beach: The sun is just right in February, and the sea breeze is gentle. The beach is fine, the coconut trees sway, and people wade in the waves and sunbathe. In the evening, the sunset dyes the sky and sea orange-red, as beautiful as a dream, intoxicating. • Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park and Botanical Garden: The park is lush with tropical plants and exotic flowers. Hainan Eld's deer graze leisurely, elephants interact with people, and there are also lions and tigers. You can get up close and personal with the wonders of nature and the vitality of life. • Feng Xiaogang Film Commune: It is like a dreamlike film kingdom, stepping into it is like returning to the Republic of China. The retro streets, signs, and street performances immerse you in the artistic atmosphere. How to Get There • Plane: Fly directly to Haikou Meilan International Airport✈, seamlessly connected to the city, with airport buses and transfers to the Hainan Ring High-speed Railway, quickly starting your journey. • High-speed Rail: Haikou East Station and Haikou Station have many trains🚄, with convenient transportation after exiting the station, making it easy to reach attractions. • City Transportation: Scan the code to take the bus in the city; ride a bike to Qilou Old Street and the beach to enjoy the scenery freely; there are tourist lines to the wildlife park and film commune, saving time and effort. What to See • Qilou Old Street Qiong Opera Performance: There are often Qiong Opera performances on the old street stage, with actors in gorgeous costumes and melodious singing. Visitors sit around the stage, appreciating the charm of Hainan opera culture and feeling the heritage of Haikou. • Holiday Beach Bonfire Party (if encountered): There are bonfire parties on some nights in February, where people sing and dance around the fire, accompanied by the sea breeze and stars, enjoying the joyful seaside nightlife. • Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park and Botanical Garden Science Popularization: There are regular professional explanations, introducing knowledge about animals and plants. Follow along to learn, gain knowledge, and enhance environmental awareness. • Feng Xiaogang Film Commune Immersive Script Murder: The script murder at the film commune is unique, with players in ancient costumes traveling through retro scenes, reasoning and solving cases, experiencing the turbulent times of the Republic of China. Photo Spots • Qilou Old Street Entrance: With the characteristic arcades as the background, wear retro clothes to take photos, showcasing the Nanyang style under the light and shadow, attracting attention on social media. • Holiday Beach Sea Viewing Platform: Stand here with the sea, beach, and sky as the background, take photos of people and the sea, or capture the waves, creating majestic photos. • Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park and Botanical Garden Cute Pet Area: With cute animals as the background, take photos of people interacting with animals, full of vitality, recording beautiful moments. • Feng Xiaogang Film Commune Republic of China Street: On the Republic of China Street, with retro shops and rickshaws as the background, wear a cheongsam or Zhongshan suit to take photos, as if traveling through time, full of fun. Travel Experience This 3-day trip to Haikou was a feast for the soul💕. Wandering through the arcades, intoxicated by the historical charm; strolling along Holiday Beach, enjoying the scenery; exploring the wildlife park, marveling at nature; immersing in the film commune, experiencing the artistic atmosphere. Haikou is like a melodious island song, with warm sunshine and rich culture. I have fallen in love and look forward to visiting again. Tips • Haikou is warm in February, but the UV rays are strong, so sunscreen is essential, and bring a light jacket for the morning and evening. • Choose regular shops on Qilou Old Street for snacks and souvenirs; swim safely at Holiday Beach and understand the prices of water activities. • Follow the rules at the wildlife park and do not feed the animals; some projects at the film commune require advance booking, and take care of your belongings. • Choose accommodation in Longhua District or Xiuying District, close to attractions, convenient for travel and daily life. Guys, Haikou is infinitely charming in February, come and start your Haikou music journey💖!
