Haikou has won numerous national titles: National Historical and Cultural City, National Civilized City, China Excellent Tourism City, China’s Most Livable City, Top Investment Potential City, etc.

Compared with Sanya’s bustling resort vibe, Haikou retains a slow, authentic island lifestyle. Visitors can wander coconut-lined coastal roads, taste classic Hainan delicacies such as Wenchang chicken, coconut rice and seafood, and experience the inclusive culture formed by Han, Li, Miao and overseas Chinese communities.
