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.
