Qilou Old Street is not a popular tourist attraction. Although Haikou has always wanted to develop it, not many people know about it.
Qilou Old Street is actually a section of a block that combines commercial streets and residential buildings, so it is relatively lively. But there are also places to find tranquility in the bustle. Nowadays, there are more pedestrian streets in the old streets. The buildings in the old streets and the new streets are connected. The area is not small. It is interesting to stroll around slowly. There are also snacks, cafes, and small residential alleys. Hidden in the street.
This is a partial map. Take a look at it. In fact, there are more than just these streets when you go shopping. For example, Jiefang Road, which locals often visit (that is a commercial street, connected to Oriental Plaza and Friendship Mall, is mainly commercial, with fewer arcades. )
On the left side of the street sign in the picture above, there is a Li-style restaurant. It is said to be a restaurant, but it is bigger than a restaurant. It is a gathering place for various delicacies. Various Hainan specialty snacks are also gathered inside. I don’t want to run around looking for a place to eat. If so, you can take a look here first.
arcade
Mainly located in the old streets of Boai Road, Shuixiangkou Street, and Xinhua Street. It is also the old arcade street that I often visit.
A new pedestrian street has been added to Shuixiangkou, which is considered a new building, but it also combines the architectural style of the old arcade.
These are a row of arcades on the left side of the water alley entrance (enter the alley from the left)
This is residential area, and you can see many new buildings interspersed among them.
You can start walking at the entrance of Shuixiang, because there are many forks, so you have to ask for directions. If you have time, walk slowly.
Turn back from here and return to the entrance of Shuixiang. You will pass by here on the way↓
