Compared with Sanya, Haikou has a very obvious defect, that is, the scenic spots are not very powerful, and there are not many scenic spots to play around. But Haikou is quite suitable for walking.
I walk 10,000 steps almost every day here. I can visit duty-free shops, old streets and seaside parks. ...
Lv Wan Park-Haikou's most suitable seaside park for running.
Suitable walking time: 1 hour+
There used to be three landmark parks in Haikou: Haikou Lv Wan Park, Binhai Park and Century Park. These three parks bear the memories of a generation of Haikou people.
It is said that many Haikou people over 40 are planting trees in Lv Wan Park. Many Haikou people over 50 years old have reclaimed the sea for Century Park.
Later, the three parks merged to form the largest urban central park in Haikou.
There are 6km bicycle lanes, 3km running lanes and1.5km walking lanes in the park. The landscape is very good, and it looks green from a height.
This time, my hotel is opposite to Lv Wan Garden, so I will go there in the afternoon and evening when I am free.
There is a particularly good running track here, and you can run all the way along the coconut grove. There are also many fitness equipment that citizens use every day on the left and right sides of the trail.
I really envy the city parks in Haikou. It's very humanized. There is a direct drinking table all the way. You can rest here when you are tired of shopping.
There are many tropical landscape plants in the park, because there are more trees and more birds. Therefore, there is also a drinking table specially set up for pigeons in the park.
Even in winter, some people and their children fly kites in the park.
The whole park gives people the feeling that it is particularly warm.
Sagittarius is in Sun Moon Square, Gemini Duty Free Shop-the least expensive place.
Suitable walking time: more than 3 hours.
From the double twelfth to the New Year's Eve, the activities of Haikou Duty Free Shop are quite strong. However, the duty-free shops in Haikou Riyue Plaza will have more choices of beauty products, while the categories of electronic products and luxury goods are not complete (no iphone 12).
Regarding the strategy of duty-free shops, Daying just sent an article about shopping in Sanya for the first time. I don't know if these are simple blood loss, but Haikou is actually similar.
Simply put, it is:
1) Enter the health code in Alipay to get two 50 yuan free threshold coupons.
2) Open the registered member of cdf Hainan Duty Free APP and brush the online mall activities.
3) If there is an on-site discount, most brands will give a 15% discount for one product, a 20% discount for three products, and a limited-time special price of 5-6% for some products. For example, buying SKii is quite cost-effective.
4) In order to let everyone soak in the duty-free shops all day, the mall also offers discounts for limited-time activities every time. 9: 00- 12: 00, 15: 00- 17: 00, 19: 00-2 1: 00, and some single products are promoted.
On the first day, I came across Estee Lauder's little brown bottle eye cream. Two bottles are 30% off, almost 440 after discount, and 50 yuan coupon is 390.
5) Some wines are cost-effective, because there are three times the points, and the points can be used directly on the spot.
But because I didn't go shopping specifically, I went there a lot, just bought a few skin care products I need now (in fact, there are no threshold coupons for flowers).
If you can't go shopping, 2 hours is enough.
Riding the old street-no destination, but finding a lot of fun.
Suitable walking time: more than 5 hours.
The old arcade scenic spot is actually quite large, with the largest Mazu Tempel in Hainan.
If you just follow the tour group to browse the snack street quickly, you will lose a lot of fun in the window machine.
Many people don't know how to visit the arcade.
I can give you my route for reference: more interesting sections, concentrated in Shuixiangkou, Zhongshan Road, Boai Road and so on.
The first place to go is Guo Xin Bookstore, a bookstore with books and coffee on the first floor, an art gallery on the second floor and an outdoor teahouse on the third floor.
If you visit, you can go to the outdoor corridor on the third floor, and you can see the panoramic view of the arcade from the height.
Next, you can walk from Guo Xin Bookstore to Daxing East Road, and you will see a very interesting Dad Teahouse: Dadie Street Dad Tea.
The teahouse is almost full of local old people, and there is an anti-Japanese drama on TV. I sat inside for a while. Dad in the shop made a 4 yuan/cup, and the shop will provide you with a teapot, so you can refill it yourself. (Good quality and cheap conscience)
Pineapple bags are 3 yuan each, and it feels like you can sit for an afternoon for 7 yuan.
Then, you can walk along Shuixiangkou Street, and you can also see all kinds of gourmet shops (Jeffery Ji soup rice, Yao Ji old shop) and seafood stalls ... If your stomach is big enough, you can eat all the way.
In these alleys, you can feel the daily life of Haikou people.
Finally, you can go to the East Gate Market. Chili sauce at the entrance of the market is basically a bottle of 5- 10 yuan according to its size, and locals especially like the mixed sauce dipped in hot pot.
A three yuan wrapped in leaves and a sandwich.
In front of the market are stalls for dried seafood, followed by stalls for vegetables, meat and seafood.
I think the price is quite cost-effective. Medium-sized scallop 90 yuan/kg, cherry shrimp 25 yuan oversized bag. I bought some myself to take away.
The shop selling shredded squid and dried fish at the door is also delicious. The shopkeeper is very enthusiastic and will let us eat some before buying. Basically, a bag of shredded squid is almost 20 yuan.
Don't worry that foreign tourists will be slaughtered. I feel that the locals are still relatively simple.
As long as there is enough time, I think I can really stay in the arcade all afternoon.
Nanda Night Market-I feel back to my college days.
Suitable walking time: 2 hours.
You can visit Nanda Night Market in the evening.
Students studying in Hainan especially like to come to Nanda Night Market. There are many snacks from different cities here. The lights are brightly lit at night, and there are almost 100 dining cars from one end to the other.
You can find bone chicken fillet, Yangzhou fried rice, mala Tang, and eat it often when you are studying.
There are also many Hainan specialties, such as dregs vinegar and Hainan powder, which are refreshing and cool. If you don't want to shop around, you can eat it all at once in the night market.
I can't say how delicious it is, but the variety is rich enough and the price is very good. Shopping is interesting.
In the dining car, some fathers and sons went into battle together. The father will instruct his son to cook a barbecue. The seafood barbecue here is very cheap, and oysters are particularly popular.
Outside the dining car, many children also sit on the open-air table to eat. In the evening, it is quite lively here.
At the entrance of the night market, there are the first authentic Qingbuliang in Hainan and Qingbuliang in Deng Ji. You can eat one on the way.
Finally, talk about life. Before Caicai went to Haikou, he lived in hotel ritz, Guanlan Lake, which was far from the city.
This time in Haikou, I lived in the first Langham Place in my life. Really, as Caicai said, its "pink temptation" makes people feel inexplicably happy.
As a city hotel, location is naturally the first important.
This Langham Hotel has a very good location! On Binhai Avenue, opposite Lv Wan Garden, you can go for a walk at any time. It takes about ten minutes to drive to arcade street and Sun Moon Square.
When you enter the first floor, you will see a fantastic Christmas tree and a gingerbread house made of pink castle.
This Langham in Haikou is a "fighter" in Langham powder, which is especially worth punching in.
Check in on the top floor: 43rd floor. Sure enough, there will be pink roses and pink room cards when you check in.
In the details of the room, this elegant feeling is also carried out to the end.
The design will take elegant ivory and gold as the main colors of the room, and there will be some artistic decorative paintings inside, which will make you feel very comfortable at first sight.
Even the mineral water bottles in the room are customized in pink. After the mini-bar is opened, there are all kinds of tea bags on the first floor, and there is a teacup device on the first floor, which feels elegant.
The experience of staying is also quite good. Bedding is bliss bed, and there is a pillow menu at the head of the bed. You can choose different types of pillows, which is very humanized.
The bathroom is also equipped with an oversized bathtub, and the bath products are all "Chuan" series products developed by Langham Hotel.
I feel that there is nothing to be picky about, and because the floor is high, the view is good. We live on the 38th floor. When the electric curtains are opened, we can see the sea.
The Christmas atmosphere in the public area of the hotel is also very strong. In addition to the giant Christmas tree and gingerbread house on the first floor, you can also see the lovely Langting bear at breakfast (usually wearing She costume, recently changed into Christmas costume).
There is also a small stove at the elevator entrance on the 43rd floor.
Langham has a drinking atmosphere, the lounge is retro green, and behind it is a huge display wine cabinet.
If you happen to come to Haikou for the holidays (Christmas, New Year's Eve), I highly recommend living in Langham.
The food in the hotel tastes online. The buffet breakfast has a chef who specializes in seafood powder.
Eating breakfast in Hainan is also a little happier, that is, there are super rich tropical fruits! There are all kinds of porridge and pasta you want to eat, as well as semi-buffet noodles, and all kinds of fried eggs that can be customized (double eggs, egg rolls, etc. ).
If you like friends staying in hotels, Tang Ge, a Cantonese restaurant on the 6th floor of the hotel, is also worth a visit. There are traditional Guangdong morning tea and Hainan specialty refreshments.
Compared with the small shops in the community, the natural environment is better and the taste is not bad.
However, the price of this Langham place is relatively high in Haikou. If it is a calendar room, the price is 1000+.
So, if you hoard a lot of room vouchers, there are some other hotel brands on Binhai Avenue, such as Sofitel, Hilton and Haiyi Hotel.
It may be more cost-effective, or it can be written off in time.
abstract
In the last part, let's make a simple summary.
If you have 48 hours, I think you can arrange it like this:
DAY 1: Genting Teahouse-Riyue Square Duty Free Shop-Niute Niudross Vinegar Hotpot-Qilou Old Street
The next day: Wanlv Garden-Coconut Garden Tea Garden-Hainan Provincial Museum-Nanda Night Market
When I left, my local friends told me that this year's Mango Taiwan New Year's Eve party will also be held in Haikou!
Moreover, Haikou Tourism Bureau really made great efforts in the New Year's Eve and prepared many theme activities, such as "Long time no see Haikou across the sea, New Year's Eve".
Visit some New Year's Eve activities.
I feel that it is also a good choice to go here for the New Year.
