Before going, I read some reviews saying it wasn't worth it, but after going, I felt it was definitely worthwhile for someone like me who had never been to a volcano before; it broadened my horizons. I think the highlights are the view of the crater from the mountainside and the descent to the bottom of the crater cave. As for the highest point overlooking Haikou, it wasn't very interesting; the weather wasn't great, and the view of Haikou was unclear. A word of warning: the wind at the summit is extremely strong; it was so strong I could barely stand. Also, I have to complain about the price on Ctrip (I regretted buying it); there are better deals on other platforms.

I watched the "Youth" performance for half an hour; it was quite good. The elderly person was very moved, as if they had been transported back to that era. The staff at the company's scenic area, number 216583, were very helpful and enthusiastic.

Even just seeing the pandas is worth the trip! Lu Huang's two sons, Gong Gong and Shun Shun, are absolutely handsome bears. Both the indoor and outdoor enclosures offer incredibly close-up views of the pandas. The keepers are also incredibly friendly, constantly inviting us to come back.

When visiting any city, the quickest way to understand the local culture is to go to a museum. The Hainan Provincial Museum encompasses the culture of Hainan and even the South China Sea region, shipwreck history, various regional cultural histories of Hainan Province, and prehistoric artifacts from the South China Sea. During my visit, I even saw paintings by a Russian artist. It was definitely worth the trip. Admission is free; just make an online reservation in advance. The visit lasted approximately two hours.

Qilou Old Street is well worth a visit. Its upstairs and downstairs corridors offer shade and shelter from the rain, embodying the charm of Southeast Asia and the hustle and bustle of the city. Admission is free, and you can enjoy a meal while walking, so why not slow down and explore? Qilou Old Street embodies the Southern philosophy of life inscribed in its architecture. Entering Qilou Old Street is like opening a damp, warm old diary.

It's a really fun zoo! Although it's not very big, it has a wide variety of animals. The best part is that some animals roam freely and will come running at you if you have food. It's perfect for kids, and even I, as an adult, found it interesting! 👍

There aren't many tourist attractions in Haikou city. This place isn't far from the hotel; we took the bus here and explored for a while. It was pretty quiet, mostly deserted. The frangipani flowers were beautiful; it was the first time I'd ever seen real frangipani flowers, and they smelled wonderful.

Wow, I really want to give a big comment on this fantasy, Changying Fantasy Amusement Park. I planned this trip to the last day, and I had to fly back to Guangdong at night, but I found that if I knew it was so fun there, I might arrange it at other times, that is, I might arrange it on the first day, play in Haikou for a day after arriving in Haikou, and then go to Lingshui County on the second day. The staff there are very good, and there are not many people, so it doesn’t need to be very bustling and lively. I think it’s pretty good. I hope it can continue to maintain it and do better. Then, regarding the luggage storage, it seems that the luggage storage is for large items, which is only 20 yuan. It can be counted as one large item, so there is no need to worry about the luggage. But here is the parking lot, which seems a bit big, so it’s a bit difficult to distinguish. It would be better if you can distinguish which door is which.

Holiday Beach is a bathing beach in Haikou and a seaside park. Holiday Beach is close to the west coast and is connected to Guanhaitai and Xixiu Beach to form a coastal landscape belt. Holiday Beach is very lively every weekend, with local citizens playing in the water and taking their children for a walk, and tourists from all over the world taking photos and checking in. This is a free attraction and is very friendly to tourists. It is very convenient to travel to Holiday Beach. There are buses and tourist buses along the way, and there is also a parking lot for self-driving.

Yundong Library, a white "wormhole" nestled in Haikou Bay's Century Park, has practically become a symbol of Haikou's contemporary culture. Below, we've compiled reviews from three perspectives: architecture, experience, and travel guides, to help you quickly grasp its essence. 1. Architecture: Frozen Waves and Caves MAD Architects cast this multi-dimensional, curved building in a single piece of exposed concrete. The exterior walls and roof form a continuous curve, creating multiple "breathing holes" that both let in natural light and frame the seascape. It has been compared to a "dolphin leaping from the sea" or a "slipper with holes." From every angle, it resembles a frozen wave, connecting the city with the coast, reality with imagination. 2. Experience: An immersive reading, sea-viewing, and music experience. - Visual: The stepped reading area spirals upward, with sunlight filtering through the holes onto the pages of books; the rooftop terrace offers views of the Century Bridge and the South China Sea. - Auditory: Resident musicians often perform guitar, and evening lawn concerts are free of charge. - Smell and Taste: Order coconut lattes at the library's coffee corner, and nearby night markets sell local flavors like dregs vinegar, coconut pancakes, and steamed grouper. - Tactile: Wear the provided shoe covers, allowing you to enjoy the barefoot feel and the sea breeze, creating a "lazy living room" atmosphere. - Taboos: Children under 10 are not allowed; food, colored beverages, and pets are not allowed; cameras must be checked in, but mobile phones are allowed. 3. Tips: Reservations, Time, and Location - Reservations: Book tickets 7 days in advance through the official account "Haikou Yundong Library." Daily admission is limited to 400-500 people. Photos can be taken from the outer perimeter without a reservation. - Open: Tuesday to Sunday 10:00 AM - 10:00 PM. Closed Mondays. Best Times: – Sunrise Silhouette: 6:30-7:30 PM, with the cave entrance backlit; – Sunset Golden Cave: 5:00 PM-6:30 PM, with the west cave entrance facing Century Bridge; – Blue Milky Way: 7:30 PM-8:30 PM, with the building lights reflected on the sea. – Transportation: Take Metro Line 1 to Century Bridge Station, Exit C, and walk for 10 minutes, or take the bus to Century Square Station. If driving, find "Yundong Library"; parking is available nearby. – Nearby Connections: Century Park Lawn Market, Wanlv Park Cycling, and Qilou Old Street Night Tours, all of which can be combined into a "Haikou Bay Day Tour." In short: Yundong Library elevates "seaside daze" into a multi-dimensional artistic experience. If you can secure a reservation, be sure to bring sunscreen and a novel, sit by the window, and watch the sea as the sunset paints the pages golden.
