    Great for shopping, but the shops start getting repetitive. Walk off the main drag and along the parallel and adjacent side streets for even better bargains. There's also a local market hidden there. It seems there are more eating options at lunchtime and at dinner time, they seem to shut shop early.

    Get there early to avoid the lines. Watch out for locals wanting to take you for tea. You will end up paying 100x the cost of the tea and leave knowing you were just screwed. Just say no to friendly locals.

    It's easy to reach by local bus and the trip took less than an hour from the city. There are plenty of food stalls and eating houses to have lunch or just for a snack. The volcano park requires admissions fee but it's worth it, especially there are detailed geological description about the area. Walking up hill is not difficult even for the elderly; the trials, footpaths and staircases are well maintained, it's a safe place to go and there are well-indicated good locations to take pictures from a high level. Going to the crater is exciting but not dangerous, the staircases will lead visitors all the way to the bottom. Travelling back by bus requires paying attention to the schedule, missing the last one at around 17:00 could cause you to spend huge money calling a 'Taxi' !

    We've been here a few times and thought I'd write a review this time

    We parked the car for 3RMB on the west side of the park (bargain) before hiring a 5 seater bike (100RMB deposit, 70RMB refunded for an hour's hire) to head to the kid's areas on the east side of the park. The kids loved it and saved their energy (its a long walk/big park) for the entertainment and nagging for ice-cream... A reasonable amount of entertainment for the kids at fair prices with a few stalls for snacks

    Took a leisurely loop back along the waterfront taking us up to the hour mark

    Whilst it wasnt overly sunny today, there is plenty of shade

    Fascinating laval tunnels formed more than 10,000 years ago, volcanic craters, dense tropical forest vegetation, beautiful wild flowers, areas of wild pineapple,many types of trees, including wild pineapple and more. A combination of beautiful scenery and odd looking volcanic shapes.

    Six kilometres of beautiful, sandy beach, with shallow, calm, clear-blue waters. A wonderful vacation spot.

    Thought it was about time I learnt a bit more about Hainan having come as a Westerner/banana for a number of years

    First things first, bring id. I was lucky my wife had a photo of my passport.

    Secondly, it’s free!

    I can’t read much Chinese (most signs are in Chinese) so spent more time looking at the building which is beautiful. Would be perfect if finished, it’s a little rough around the edges but I’m just nit picking

    Displays are creative with interactive ones which were good for the kids

    We visited Hengdian and Shanghai movie town before, therefore we thought Haikou movie town is so so only if compared with them.
    Moderate space. Spend few hours here including lunch at fast food store. Still recommend every traveller to come here if you never go other movie studio before.
    Visited on August 2019.

    The Bridge is beautiful, it is the largest bridge on Hainan Island spanning 2,683 meters in length and 29.8 meters in width. The design is wonderful. It Is a cable-stayed bridge. There are plants under the bridge what becames more beautiful. It is not available to walk on it like other famous bridges, but the sight around it is rewarding. It is available for automotive traffic only. The night in sight is much more interesting.

    Almost nobody was there when I walked through a little after 4pm. It was not worth staying. Maybe it picks up in the evening. It has a wide range of foods and there is both indoor or outdoor shared seating.
    I recommend this place for anyone who is looking for variety options at a single location.
    The location is great. There are many shops and mall around. Many people circulate in this region which makes the place full throughout the day.

    This park is quite nice with people jogging even in the afternoon. One end has many table tennis tables with young people having great fun. Across the main road leads to Shopping Malls. The other end is a pond with a lovely bridge heading back to Qilou Old Street.
