In Hainan, there are many popular Hainanese rural delicacies that have been slowly introduced into the streets and alleys of the city, but still retain the original ingredients and methods. So where can you eat delicacies from rural areas in the city? Let’s go and see!
Haikou-Spicy Soup and Rice
Hainan Spicy Soup and Rice, one of the specialty snacks in the United States, are mostly concentrated on a street in Shuixiangkou. Shuixiangkou in the northeast of Haikou began in the Ming Dynasty and was originally a river. Shuixiangkou Wharf was the Guandu and Wharf of Qiongzhou in the early years. Later, Haikou became a foreign trade port, and Shuixiangkou became noisy and prosperous. Every time the fishermen who live here come back from the sea, they can have a bowl of hot soup and rice here, which is convenient for filling their stomachs and keeping the cold away.
Use ingredients such as pork belly, pig heart, vermicelli, etc., add sauerkraut to make soup, and add chili to enhance the flavor. Sour soup and spicy chili stimulate every pore.

People in the Sanya Gangzha area make a living by fishing, and their diet is naturally closely related to seafood. The earliest port flour was made by fishermen. The powder of door powder is very soft and almost melts in your mouth. This soft and smooth vermicelli has gone through a series of manual processes such as grinding and rolling. Not only are the ingredients exquisite, but the craftsmanship is also complex. The conch soup base is sweet and brings out the delicious flavor of the fish cakes and fried shrimp chunks, and pairs perfectly with the soft and smooth vermicelli.
