I'm full, so let's talk about digestion.
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. However, Haikou is quite good for walking.
I walk 1, steps every day here, and I can visit duty-free shops, old streets and seaside parks ...
Evergreen Park-Haikou's most suitable coastal park for running
Suitable walking time: 1 hour+
Haikou used to have three landmark parks: Evergreen 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 4 have planted trees in Wanlv Garden; Many Haikou people over the age of 5 have filled the sea for Century Park.
Later, the three parks merged to form the largest urban central park in Haikou.
There are 6 kilometers of cycling lanes, 3 kilometers of running lanes and 1.5 kilometers of walking lanes in the park, and the landscape is very good. From a height, they are all covered with green.
This time, my hotel is opposite Wanlv Garden, so I will go there in the afternoon and evening when I am free.
There is a very good running track here, and you can run along the coconut grove all the way. There are also many fitness equipment for the daily use of the citizens on the left and right sides of the trail.
The urban park in Haikou really makes me envy. It is very humanized, and there is a direct drinking table all the way, so you can have a 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 take their children to fly kites in the park.
The whole park gives people the feeling that it is particularly warm.
Sagittarius in Sun Moon Plaza, Gemini Duty Free Shop-the place that saves (HUA) the most money (QIAN)
Suitable walking time: 3 hours+
Haikou Duty Free Shop has great activities from December to New Year's Eve. 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 (there is no iphone12).
As for the strategy of duty-free shops, Da Ying has just sent an article about going shopping in Sanya for the first time. I didn't know that it was a blood loss, but Haikou's is actually similar.
To sum up, it is:
1) Enter the health code in Alipay to get two 5 yuan threshold-free coupons.
2) Open the registered member of cdf Hainan Duty Free APP and brush up the activities of online shopping mall.
3) If there is an on-site discount, most brands will get a 15% discount on one item and a 2% discount on three items, and some products will have a limited-time special price of 5-6%, such as buying SKii, which is quite cost-effective.
4) In order to let people spend all day in the duty-free shops, the shopping mall also offers discounts for limited time activities at each time. From 9: to 12: , from 15: to 17: , and from 19: to 21: , there are some single product promotions.
On the first day I went there, I came across Estee Lauder's small brown bottle eye cream. The price of two bottles was 3% off, which was almost 44 after the discount, and it was 39 with 5 yuan coupons.
5) Some drinks are still cost-effective, because there are three times points, which can be directly used to offset money on the spot.
But because I didn't go shopping specifically, I went shopping in a Buddhist style, and only bought some skin care products that I needed at the moment (in fact, it was to spend no threshold coupons).
2 hours is enough if you can't go shopping.
There is no destination, but many interesting places have been found.
It is suitable for walking time: 5 hours+
The scenic spot of Qilou Old Street is actually quite large, including the largest Mazu Tempel in Hainan.
if you just follow the tour group and have a quick look at the snack street, you will lose a lot of fun visiting the arcade.
Many people don't quite know how to visit the arcade.
I can take my route for your reference: more interesting sections, concentrated in Shuixiangkou, Zhongshan Road, Bo 'ai Road and so on.
The first place to go is Guoxin Bookstore, which is a bookstore with books and coffee on the first floor, an art gallery on the second floor and an outdoor tea room on the third floor.
If you visit, you can go to the outdoor promenade on the third floor, where you can see the panoramic view of the arcade from a height.
Next, you can walk from Guoxin Bookstore to Daxing East Road, and you will see a very interesting dad teahouse: Datie Street Dad Tea.
The teahouse is almost full of local elderly people, and the TV is showing anti-Japanese drama. I sat in it for a while. Dad in the shop made 4 yuan/Cup, and the store will provide you with a teapot, so you can refill your own cups. (The price is good.)
One pineapple bag is in 3 yuan, and 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 (Chenji soup and rice, Yaoji time-honored store) and seafood stalls ... If your stomach is big enough, you can eat and walk all the way.
In these alleys, you can feel the daily life of Haikou people.
Finally, you can go to Dongmen Market. The chili sauce at the entrance of the market is basically 5-1 bottle in 1 yuan according to the size, and there are assorted sauces that locals especially like to dip in hot pot.
a 3 yuan with leaves wrapped, and a sandwich.
There are stalls for dry seafood in front of the market, while there are stalls for vegetables, meat and seafood in the back.
I think the price is quite cost-effective. Medium-sized scallop 9 yuan/kg, cherry shrimp 25 yuan oversized bag. I bought some myself to take away.
The store that sells shredded squid and dried fish fillets at the entrance is also delicious. The owner is very enthusiastic and will let us eat some before buying. Basically, a bag of shredded squid is almost 2 yuan.
Don't worry about tourists from other places being slaughtered. I feel that the local people are relatively simple.
As long as there is enough time, I think I can really stay in the arcade for an afternoon.
Nanda Night Market-Feeling back to college
Suitable walking time: 2 hours
At night, you can visit Nanda Night Market.
Students studying in Hainan especially like coming to Nanda Night Market. There are many snacks from different cities here, and the lights are bright at night. There are almost more than 1 dining cars from one end to the other.
boneless chicken fillet, Yangzhou fried rice and mala Tang, which you used to eat when studying, can be found here.
There are also many Hainan specialties in it, such as dregs vinegar, Hainan powder and Qingbuliang. If you don't want to go shop by shop, you can eat them 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 reasonable. It's quite interesting to visit.
in the dining car, some fathers and sons go into battle together. The father will instruct his son to cook a barbecue. The seafood barbecue here is very cheap, and oysters are especially popular.
Outside the dining car, many children also sit on the open-air table to eat. At night, it is quite lively here.
There are also the first authentic Qingbuliang and Dengji Qingbuliang in Hainan at the entrance of the night market. You can stop by and eat one.
Finally, let's talk about living. Before Caicai went to Haikou, he lived in Ritz, which was in Mission Hills, relatively far from the urban area.
and 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 thing.
The Langham Place is in an excellent location! It's on Binhai Avenue, opposite Wanlv Garden, and you can go for a walk at any time. The drive to the arcade and Sun Moon Square is almost ten minutes.
when you enter the first floor, you will see a fantastic Christmas tree and a gingerbread house made of pink castle.
This Langham House in Haikou is a "fighter" in Langham Powder, which is especially worth punching in.
Check in is on the highest 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 through to the end.
The design will use elegant ivory and gold as the main colors of the room, and it will also be matched with some artistic decorative paintings, 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 various tea bags on the first floor and teacups on the first floor, which feels very elegant.
The experience of staying is also quite good. The bedding is Blissful Bed, and there is a pillow menu at the head of the bed, so you can choose different types of pillows, which is very user-friendly.
The bathroom is also equipped with an oversized bathtub, and the bath products are all "Chuan" series products developed by Langham House.
I feel that there is nothing to be picky about, and because the floor is high, I have a good view. We live on the 38th floor. When the electric curtains are opened, we can see the sea.
In the public area of the hotel, the Christmas atmosphere 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 (it usually wears She costumes and recently changed its Christmas clothes) at breakfast.
There is also a small stove at the elevator entrance on the 43rd floor.
There is quite a drinking atmosphere in Langham Place. The lounge here is vintage green with a huge display wine cabinet behind it.
If you happen to want to come to Haikou for the holidays (Christmas, New Year's Eve), I quite recommend staying in Langham.
The food in the hotel tastes online. Buffet breakfast has a chef who specializes in seafood powder.
Having breakfast in Hainan is another happiness, that is, there are super rich tropical fruits! There are all kinds of porridge and pasta you want to eat, as well as semi-self-help noodles, and various kinds of fried eggs that can be customized (double eggs, egg rolls, etc.).
If you like friends staying at the hotel, Tangge, a Cantonese restaurant on the 6th floor of the hotel, is also worth a brush. There are traditional Cantonese morning tea and Hainan specialty refreshments.
compared with 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 1+ per night.
So, if you hoard a lot of room coupons, there are some other hotel brands on Binhai Avenue, such as Sofitel, Hilton and Haiyi Hotel.
it may be higher in terms of cost performance, or it can be written off in time.
summarize
the last part, and make a short summary.
If you have 48 hours, I think you can arrange the route as follows:
DAY1: Genting Tea House-Riyue Square Duty Free Shop-Niute Niudross Vinegar Hot Pot-Qilou Old Street
DAY2: Wanlvyuan-Coconut Xiangyuan Tea Garden-Hainan Provincial Museum-Nanda Night Market
When I left, my local friends told me that this year's Mango Taiwan's New Year's Eve party would also be held.
Moreover, Haikou Tourism Bureau has really put a lot of effort into the New Year's Eve, and has prepared many theme activities, such as "I haven't seen Haikou for a long time across the sea and New Year's Eve".
guided tour of some New Year's Eve activities
I feel it is also a good choice to go here for New Year's Eve.
