Must-Stay in Haikou! The Hidden Nanyang-Style Gem "Alvin Homestay" in Movie Town

🌴【Haikou·Nanyang Time Travel Guide】A retro homestay hidden in Movie Town, every frame is like a movie scene! ✨ A Nanyang Dream That Steals Your Heart at First Sight Pushing open the wooden door of Alvin Homestay feels like stepping into a 90s film reel—wrought-iron railings, peacock-blue stained glass windows, vine-covered arched corridors, with even the air carrying a faint coffee aroma ☕️. Nestled in the Nanyang-themed zone of Feng Xiaogang's Movie Town, you can soak in the same nostalgic atmosphere as *Nanyang Memories* without leaving the property. Dress in a cheongsam or floral shirt for photos, and every shot is an instant vintage masterpiece 📸! 🛋️ Living in the Slow Rhythm of Old Nanyang Guest rooms are inspired by "Republic-era mansions," featuring solid wood furniture and lace bed canopies. Under warm yellow lighting, even your breath seems to slow down. I stayed in the "Stained Glass" themed room with floor-to-ceiling windows—waking up to sunlight and watching the bustling arcade street below felt like traveling back in time ✨. Smart home devices and latex mattresses subtly elevate comfort, striking the perfect balance between retro charm and modern convenience. 🍽️ Island Flavors on Your Tongue The homestay’s breakfast is a highlight! Freshly ground Hainan coffee paired with Nanyang-style pastries, plus the hostess’s secret pandan-leaf coconut rolls 🥥—each bite is pure bliss. In the evening, sip coconut wine on the terrace, feel the sea breeze, and watch the sunset gild the arcade buildings. Isn’t this the island life I’ve always dreamed of? 🌅 📍 Practical Tips 🚗 25-minute drive from Haikou Meilan Airport; 30 RMB taxi ride from downtown 🎬 Guests enjoy discounted Movie Town tickets; shoot photos at dawn/dusk for fewer crowds 📌 Nearby: 5-minute walk to Nanyang Night Market (nighttime light shows are stunning!) 💌 Pro Tips Wear light-colored or retro outfits—the homestay offers free cheongsam rentals! 3-5 PM has the best lighting; backlit portraits on the second-floor corridor are *chef’s kiss*! "Amid the lively arcade streets lies an undisturbed Nanyang dream." Who would you bring to this story-filled homestay? 👇
