Haikou, the capital of Hainan, is nicknamed the 'Coconut City' for its tree-lined streets. With Nanyang-style arcade streets and seaside leisure, it is the gateway to Hainan's slow life.

Arcade Old Street

Haikou's Qilou Old Street is one of China's larger surviving arcade complexes, blending Nanyang style with market life — great for walking, photos and Hainan snacks.

Seaside leisure

Holiday Beach and the West Coast Belt Park are made for sea-gazing, while Evergreen Park is a large coastal green space, lovely for evening strolls.

Culture and volcanoes

Wugong Temple honors officials exiled to Hainan; Feng Xiaogang Movie Town recreates Republican-era streets; Haikou Volcanic Cluster Geopark lets you explore ancient volcanic landforms.
