A seaside city is a lucky city indeed and Haikou's urban development follows the sea as it meanders unbroken along a charming and world-famous coastline for 131 kilometres. This fascinating city features the most beautiful scenic promenades, blue skies, jade seas, sunshine, sandy beaches and coconut palms; a picturesque location of intoxicating beauty rich in ionized clean and fresh air that leads to Hainan's recognition as an island of health and longevity. With its strong tropical seaside charm and interest, Haikou is fast becoming a livable Chinese residential paradise!

-       Culture:

Hainan culture is the combination of traditional culture of mainland China, the culture of the border areas of south China and foreign cultures. On one hand, it maintains its traditional culture forms, such as Qiong Opera, Junpo Festival, Huanghua Festival, dragon and lion dances. On the other hand, it absorbs modern culture forms, such as Karaoke, KTV, singing and dancing performance, golf, bowling, sailing and surfing. Tourists can not only appreciate bamboo pole dance and coconut shell dance, but also play golf and go sailing on the sea.
