Haikou Clock Tower | A Nostalgic Dream of the South Seas

| A Nostalgic Dream of the South Seas. Haikou Clock Tower | A Nostalgic Dream of the South Seas In Haikou's Qilou Old Street, a clock tower stands quietly, like a silent old man, witnessing the changes of this city. The clock tower was built in 1929 to unify the time on the island. It has a typical European style, with a milky white exterior wall and a green dome, which is particularly eye-catching in the coconut wind and sea charm. When you get closer, you can see the huge clock hands turning steadily, and every tick seems to be telling stories of the past. Every hour, the melodious chimes ring out, echoing through every corner of the old street. The surrounding residents are used to it, while tourists are always attracted by the sudden sound and stop to listen. At this moment, time seems to slow down, and people can't help but immerse themselves in the atmosphere where history and modernity intertwine. Near the clock tower, Qilou Old Street is bustling with activity. The mottled walls and carved window lattices exude a strong South Seas style. Choose an afternoon, sit in a teahouse by the street, order a cup of Lao Ba tea, watch the clock tower and the people coming and going, and feel the leisure and comfort of Haikou. If you come to Haikou, don't miss this clock tower. It is not only a landmark but also a symbol of Haikou's history and culture, carrying the memories and emotions of this city.
