3 Star Places To Visit in Hainan, China (29)

1. 3.5 Qilou Snack Street (51 reviews)
   - All things food under one roof!
   Points of Interest & Landmarks
   
   
   Tried the Beijing Gyoza, pork chee cheong fun (猪肉猪肠粉) which i really liked! Also tried coconut steamed rice and coconut jelly which I find average.. They also sell food like mango shelks, chill cooked snails, cuttlefish skewers, mango and coconut desserts etc. At the Gyoza stall, there's an Indian man making roti prata as well! Interesting place worth a visit. To the left and just beside qilou food street, there's another food street to explore :) Tip: At qilou, you pay for food using a reloadable card, you can purchase this from the card sale counter. Can put in any amount, note that 10 yuan will be charged as card deposit which is refundable when you return the card. See more..
   
2. 3.5 Wuzhi Mountain of Hainan (43 reviews)
   - Beautiful run from Wuzhi Mountain into the village of Maonao
   Mountains
   
   
   I love the peace and beauty of China’s mountains and ancient towns. On this visit, I enjoyed viewing Wuzhi Mountain and then going to the village of Maonao. After spending my business life working in over 70 countries and most of the world's biggest cities, I enjoy the peace and tranquility offered by the mountains and ancient villages of China.

3. 3.5 Haikou Mangrove (35 reviews)
   - Very pleasant walk
   Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Forests
   
   
   Luckily the day we went, was a cloudy day and hence it was a pleasant walk along the wooden pathway. You can also do a boat ride if you wish. Lots of mangrove have been recently planted and the area has been recently developed. You can see signs of redevelopment all along. If you enjoy a nice walk, then it is a good place to visit.

4. 3.5 Venue of Asian Forum For Qionghai Bo'ao (30 reviews)
   - Interesting to see the developed side of Qionghai
   Wednesday: 9:00 AM - 8:00 PM Convention Centers
   
   
   Interesting to visit a meeting hall that hosts high-level forums. You can also pose as delegates officials on the pulpit and their special seating. Professional photographers available on site to develop your 8R photos at your own cost. See more..
   
5. 3.0 Wugong Temple (29 reviews)
   - Epitome of badly managed cultural relics
   Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 5:30 PM Parks • Religious Sites
   
   
   Visited the temple and although the price is cheap, the condition inside is, well pathetic. Dirt and leaves everywhere, and not a single bench was clean enough to sit on. The attendants were all sleeping, except one girl who was playing on her cellphone and didn't even bother a glance at us. This is 11am in the morning. Just affirms the stereotype of lazy Hainanese. This place needs a revamp, seriously! How can Hainan claim to be an international tourist destination when most of the signage isn't even bilingual. Like many things in China, this place has great potential. However I wouldn't recommend it for anyone visiting since you'll just walk away sadly disappointed. See more..
   
6. 3.5 Haikou Museum (26 reviews)
   - A good introduction to the culture of the island
   Wednesday: 6:00 AM - 10:00 PM Speciality Museums
   
   
   The time travel interactive display is really interesting, I watched it several times! Learning all about the Li & Miao tribes was great before a visit to Binglanlu in the south. I'm happy we stopped by. See more..
   
7. 3.5 Haikou Clock Tower (23 reviews)
   - Worth passing by
   Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Architectural Buildings
   
   
   This is not an 'attraction' that I would go out of my way to visit. It is across the road from Qilou Old Street which is one of Haikou's historic visitor sites, so take a look and grab a photo when visiting Qilou Old Street the job done. I must confess I took a photo whilst driving past! See more..
   
8. 3.5 Dongjiao Coconut Forest (20 reviews)
   - Co Co Nuts
   Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Points of Interest & Landmarks • Forests
   
   
   For about 7 rmb you can take a public mini bus to this location. Not much to see or do there. But being amongst the coconut palm trees is nice. The local people are kind and eager to talk to any foreigners. Fresh coconut juice for 5 rmb is very refreshing and delicious. They could make this place a real tourist destination but I don't see that happening, too bad. See more..
   
9. 3.5 Hairui's Tomb (18 reviews)
   - One of the few attraction in haikou
   Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Monuments & Statues
   
   
   I need to be agree to kit reviews. It doesn't have much things to do here, and you need to get a private chartered car. They do not have plenty of taxis here. I went there with a private chartered car, so I find no problem. There's nothing to see, not that interesting, but that's one of the best there. You went to haikou, just come here and see. At least you've seen it. I bought a sweet potato infront of the gate, it was 8rmb, not cheap for one potato, but it was so good. See more..
   
10. 3.5 Qiannian Ancient Saltworks (9 reviews)
    - History of Salt production from sea water
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Historical & Heritage Tours
    
    
    This place is very interesting and details the history of salt production from sea water. The tools used are well preserved and there is a information posted on a billboard about the salt extraction process. Interesting for kids especially. See more..

    - Another Experience
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Mountains

12. 3.0 Red Women Army Memorial (7 reviews)
    - Honouring the female fighters of the Red Army
    Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Monuments & Statues
    
    
    It is nice to see a memorial dedicated to the many women of the Red Army, who made great contributions to its victory. Fortunately, I visited with some Chinese friends, who explained the significance of the military exhibits and the contribution of the Red Army women fighters. As all the information is displayed in Chinese only, I would have had little understating of what I was viewing. See more..
    
13. 3.5 Zhongtianxing Holiday Beach Recreational Vehicle Camp (7 reviews)
    - A nice quaint beach rest on a beautiful island.
    Points of Interest & Landmarks
    
    
    This is a great place to go to get away from the commercialization and just rest and relax. There were food and fruit vendors so you could get the freshest of food as you rested along the beach. We actually rode an ostrich that was available to ride along the beach. Certainly never had done that. China is always full of surprises and this aquatint area was no exception. See more..
    
14. 3.5 Wanning Xinglong Hot Spring (6 reviews)
    - The Place to Sleep
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Hot Springs & Geysers
    The only interesting thing for us is the hot spring pool before going to bed. Hotels are cheap. This place is a good deal if you want cheap accommodation 20 minutes from the beach. See more..
    
15. 3.5 Bamenwan Mangrove Forest (4 reviews)
    - A good light adventure - though not suitable for young kids
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Forests
    
    
    The mangrove is well maintained. It is clean - as far as a mangrove can be. After all, it's still a swamp, but they do a good job keeping litter away. The area itself starts with a wooden bridge which you can ride on and if you keep going, it turns into a concrete then dirt track which is for walking only. There was literally not a soul there when we visited - so it could have been a beautiful and slightly adventurous nature walk. However, we brought our 2 year old along and this place is not suitable for youngsters. Wet, with a relatively narrow walking track and large pockets of water on either side - this is not where you want to bring a curious and wild-running toddler. If you are an adventurer looking for a bit of easy exercise, a lovely walk and spending time in a shady foresty area, this place definitely fits the bill. See more..
    
16. 3.5 Songtao Reservoir (3 reviews)
    - Attraction permanently closed
    Wednesday: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Dams
    
    
    I went there on 29 Nov 2017 and found the gates to the reservoir closed. The people in charge said the reservoir is now out of bounds to all visitors. The cruise is no longer in business.. You can't even get pass the main gate. See more..
    
17. 3.5 Qionghai Yezhai Farmer Happiness (3 reviews)
    - Very pretty
    Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM
    
    
    A nice, unrealistic village, done up for tourists, plenty of restaurants but not much else, owes it's fame to a visit by the Presidents wife. See more..
    
18. 3.5 Asian Folk Customs Garden (3 reviews)
    - Closed down
    Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Amusement & Theme Parks
    
    
    The bus stop for this attraction is opposite our hotel and it looks derelict now; overgrown, hoarding surrounding it and a fruit stall in what may have been the entrance. See more..
    
19. 3.5 Bawangling Gibbon Conservation (2 reviews)
    - Nice subtropical forest trails but where are the gibbons?
    Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Nature & Wildlife Areas
    We saw little wildlife during our one-night stay as it coincided with a cold spell that brought daytime termperatures in Haikou below 10°C. Bawangling Yajia Vacation Centre has about 15 blocks of 1- and 2- storey lodges for visitors and is located within the Bawangling Nature Reserve. Imagine a pristine version of Malaysia's Fraser's Hill and you get the idea (fresh air, small cataracts and waterfalls, cool-to-chilly mountain breezes, colourful avifauna). Hot, dry daytime contrasts with cool evenings. There are well-maintained boardwalks and the fairly steep walk up to the waterfall is reminiscent of Langkawi's Talaga Tujuh ("7 Wells") Waterfall route. An open balcony runs along the length of our lodge building and doubles as a common corridor to the rooms. All room windows have insect screens. Ensuite bathroom are wet rooms with floors of wooden slats, featuring water heater, washbasin, shower and modern sit-down flush toilet. Free wired internet access is provided via a desktop PC. There is a CRT TV, electric kettle, free teabags. Meals are available at the Vacation Centre's restaurant which is quite good (try a local dish: Boiled 5-legged wild boar, so named because the latter's long snout resembles a fifth leg when it's running).

20. 3.5 Wanquan Lake (2 reviews)
    - Beautiful with potential
    Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM Bodies of Water
    
    
    Beautiful area, though hard to find with poor access roads. On arrival at the lakeside there is little parking, not really a problem as there were no people. There is a small viewing area with some pleasure boats, which had definitely seen better days, but no crew or notices saying if and when the boats operated. There was no way of getting around the lake that we could find, no paths at all, not even rough paths. There were some good views back along the road woth taking photographs. Overall not worth the effort See more..
    
21. 3.0 Qionghai Boao Aquarium (2 reviews)
    - Perished
    Wednesday: 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM Speciality Museums
    
    
    Unfortunately the aquarium disappeared. Locals show me the place where it used to located. However a very exciting pan-asian quater was built there See more..
    
22. 3.0 China Coconut Island (2 reviews)
    - Провинция только развивается, пока в этой деревне делать нечего
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Islands
    Провинция только развивается, пока в этой деревне делать нечего. Вокруг видны краны и недостроенные здания, которые портят вид. See more..

    很好的教育基地，真实的茅草屋里还生活着的村民。不过还好，已经通电了，通往村里的路也是水泥路了，山泉、农产品、村民，一切都是污染的。 See more..

29. 3.0 Mulan Bay (1 review)
    - Off the beaten track
    Wednesday: 12:00 AM - 11:59 PM Bodies of Water
    It's 70 miles form wenchang so we decide to get a taxi. Not much to see you catwalk down the old street to the harbour which is a thriving fishing harbour and very smelly. On the way you can stop for the chance to eat horse shoe crab. Horse shoe crabs are not crabs at all but a living fossil being one of the oldest life forms on this planet. The street must have looked great in its heyday but now is in pretty poor repair. I wonder whether they will repair it or will it be another case of rebuilding. See more..
