Forget Sanya, this place is amazing! I came to this city because of a song...
“Long time no see, long time to see, long time to see, I want to see you again.” Humming this popular Hainan folk song, “Long Time No See, Long Time to See,” I came to Haikou in February to start a warm seaside trip and enjoy the charming scenery of coconut trees and the sea breeze.
Itinerary
• Day 1: Qilou Old Street - Bell Tower
When you first arrive in Haikou, go to Qilou Old Street. The Nanyang-style buildings here are scattered, and walking among them is like traveling back in time. The street food stalls are full of fragrance, and you can choose from Hainan noodles, Baoluo noodles, Qingbuliang, and other local delicacies. When you are tired of shopping, go to the nearby Bell Tower, listen to the ancient bells ringing, and feel the historical charm of Haikou.
• Day 2: Holiday Beach - Xixiu Beach
In the morning, go to Holiday Beach, where the white sand, blue sea, swaying coconut trees, and sunshine are just right. You can sunbathe on the beach, step on the waves, or enjoy exciting water sports. In the afternoon, move to Xixiu Beach, which is the national sailing and windsurfing training base. Watching the sails on the sea and feeling the sea breeze is very pleasant.
• Day 3: Hainan Tropical Wildlife Park
Walk into this “natural oxygen bar” and get close to various rare animals. The park is lush with vegetation, and the climate in Haikou in February is warm, with flowers and plants flourishing. Walking among them is like being in a tropical rainforest. You can also see cute gibbons, majestic lions, and adorable elephants, immersing yourself in the embrace of nature.
