\ Little interesting things/
More and more people's travel patterns are changing, especially nowadays, most of the children-raising parties focus on vacation, so Hainan, as the only tropical island in China, will become less and less A place to go once. Especially in winter, against the backdrop of the haze in the north, many people need blue sky and white clouds to wash their lungs.
At this time, Hainan, which has a short flight time without a visa or passport, has become the preferred one. Perhaps due to the serious stay of tourists during the Spring Festival last year, the number of tourists in Hainan this year has dropped sharply. According to my personal practice, there are no tourists at all attraction at all. Half of the same period last year, coupled with government control, prices are not as outrageous as everyone thinks.
We have been living in Hainan for two months this year and have basically visited all the scenic spots in big and small cities on the East Line. There are recommendations and pitfalls. I will update some Hainan's parent-child travel series based on my personal experience. What I want to say this time, It's Haikou.
NO.1 Why go to Haikou?
Eat well
Sanya is a resort city, and it is famous for its expensive food. In addition to seafood, it is basically Northeastern cuisine. Compared with it, Haikou is much richer in terms of food. The best thing is that it has Cantonese morning tea that I like very much. It is called "Dad Tea" locally, and many families in Haikou are very good, such as the affordable "Zhengge Dim Sum Expert", such as the "Chat and Hui" ranked first on Dianping.com, etc. These stores have been open since the morning. By the middle of the night, it’s good to have morning tea without getting enough for afternoon tea.
When it comes to eating in Haikou, we must mention Dingcun Ten Thousand People Seafood Plaza. Although it is a must-check in attraction for tourists, if you go there for the first time, you will still be shocked by the big scene of eating seafood. You can buy it on site for the store. Processing can also be purchased online directly, which are very fresh and are cheaper overall than Sanya.
The temperature is suitable
Haikou is basically a city that can come all year round, with clouds, seas and shopping. The temperature in summer is also lower than that in Sanya, mainly because it is not that sunny. In fact, it’s good to come to the summer vacation. You can find a resort hotel to go to a hotel. Whether it’s Shangri-La or Liz Carlton, the cost-effectiveness is much higher than that of those in Beidaihe or Qingdao. I will talk about the hotel recommendations separately later.
NO.2 Haikou attractions, parent-child red and black list
free attractions, must check in
Hainan Provincial Museum
Recommendation index: ★★★★
There are two more worth visiting museums in Hainan, one is Qionghai Nanhai Museum, and the other is For Hainan Provincial Museum in Haikou, I suggest that everyone who travels to Haikou will take an hour to visit this museum, which will give you a more macro and in-depth understanding of the entire Hainan.
million green park
Recommendation index: ★★★★★
This is my most recommended Haikou baby-walking holy place, a free park in the city center, super large! It includes a large area of green grass, a large lake, a food street, a small children's playground, and even a coastline walking path.
There are large green lawn banyan trees in the park. Many children run and track kites on the green lawn. Except for the slightly crowded people, the picture is particularly beautiful.
You can still catch up with the Lantern Festival Lantern Festival during the Spring Festival. It is available every year. Although some lanterns have a slightly more commercial feel, they are better because they have many lanterns and large venues and are completely free. Those who take care of their children should go and visit.
paid attractions, worth going to
Crater Geopark
Recommended index: ★★★★★
If you bring your baby to Haikou, you must not miss the Crater Park. It is the only tropical island city in China, and it is also made by UNESCO recognizes world-class tourist attractions with outstanding and important value.
The mountain is not high, and children over three years old can basically climb it by themselves. The vegetation is rich, like a natural volcanic science museum, telling the story of the changes this volcano that has been sleeping for 8,000 years has undergone and how it is used by mankind.
The biggest highlight is that you can go down the crater and take a look. Although the trees are already shaded, the experience of entering the crater will make the child feel cool.
There is also a small volcanic science museum at the foot of the mountain. It tells a lot of knowledge about volcanoes in pictures and texts. Taking your child to go to popular science before going up the mountain may be more conducive to children's understanding of knowledge about volcanoes.
Swan Lake Animal Base
Recommended Index: ★★★★☆
There are no large animals like elephants and tigers in this place. It cannot be regarded as a zoo in terms of hardware, and it is closer to an animal breeding base, so there is no infrastructure to talk about. Go to the toilet. Ah, it’s very inconvenient to buy water, but even so, she should be able to enter the list of Haikou parent-child travel must-check-in list in my mind: basically all the animals here are free-range! Free-range! The ground is full of!
This place seems to be the main business of trade for zoos. To put it bluntly, it is to raise animals and sell them to zoos, and the farm is opened to visit. So there will be many rare varieties, with only 6 species of swans, and some particularly rare kinds of water birds, cranes, chickens, etc. Many of them are the first time they have seen them.
It is rare to have this opportunity to give children such a close contact with animals. Millennium elephant tortoises, capybara, guinea pigs and gray cranes running all over the ground. Some places also provide some food for feeding, and there is no extra charge.
Hainan Tropical Wildlife Garden
Recommended Index: ★★★☆
Because I have taken my children to several top zoos in Asia, I originally had no hope for this Haikou family, but because of this, I went on after visiting it. I feel that this zoo and botanical garden in Haikou is not bad, much beyond my expectations.
tickets are only more than 100, and children are under 1.2 free. After entering the park, the car and pedestrian areas are also distinguished.
park provides free sightseeing buses in the car area, each 2 hours, and there are many places to get off the car and feed animals, and you will also pass through the beast area. You can also drive your own car in this area with private cars, and you can also park and get off in a designated area.
Because of the natural advantages of the tropical region, the plant varieties are rich and very dense, so the entire walking park is an exhibition area that is particularly close to nature. The animals seem to be hidden in the tropical rainforest. The overall route is not very large, and the route is arranged very smoothly. You can walk all without looking at the map. It is enough to walk around the pedestrian area for about 2 hours, which is more suitable for walking children.
Sights that are not parent-child and expensive
Feng Xiaogang Movie Commune
Recommended Index: ★★
If you open major travel APPs, Feng Xiaogang Movie Commune is basically ranked first in the Haikou Attraction Ranking, but this place ranks in my mind Haikou has the lowest cost-effective attractions. The ticket price of 149 yuan is basically nothing. In addition to taking photos, it is a commercial street in the Republic of China style. It is the kind that many cities have. It is built a little more refined, and the only child can play. The pirate ship is also charged an additional fee.
If you really want to go to Papapapapapapapa, the only suggestion is to stay in scenic spots. The inns and B&Bs in scenic spots are all accommodations, including large tickets, and the cost-effectiveness is OK during the non-Spring Festival.
If you don’t live near the Mission Hills resort area in , you don’t have to go from the city specifically. The tickets are expensive, the location is remote, and there is no content.
Changying Global 100
Recommendation Index: ★☆
This year's key project, invested by Changying, is known as the Chinese version of Universal Studios . I have been to two Universal Studios, Osaka and Singapore , so except for the 300+ ticket price, Changying, which is almost as good as Universal Studios, has a huge gap in other aspects and is very, very unfriendly to children, 1.2 There are basically no projects to do below, just give up if you take care of your children.
NO.3 It turns out that Haikou can also watch exhibitions
LEGO Endangered Animal Exhibition
Recommendation Index: ★★★☆
I usually go to first-tier cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and I will find some relatively good exhibitions or performances to watch. I didn’t expect that Haikou also has one. , Perhaps as the country's efforts to build the Hainan Free Trade Zone increase, many cultural activities will also tilt here. In addition to the LEGO exhibition, I have also caught up with the star version of the drama "Secret Love of Peach Blossom Land" in the past few months.Haikou is not a big city, so performance tickets are much cheaper than first-tier cities, and exhibition halls are not crowded. If you travel to Haikou, you can pay attention to this aspect.
LEGO Endangered Animal Exhibition is a global tour exhibition. China's first stop is in the Bird's Nest in Beijing, and the second stop is in Haikou. However, Haikou Station will also end at the end of February.
Although the scale of Haikou Station is not as large as that of Beijing, there are too few people. I spent a whole day in it. There were many Lego-related interactions, and no one was in line. It was too high to play casually.
The baby first came into contact with the concept of "endangered" but after that, she seemed to have suddenly understood "ecology" and "environmental protection" in three-dimensional ways, and would also consider classification when throwing garbage.
To be honest, I saw many of the numbers in this exhibition and it was shocking. I also hope that children's understanding of this world will not only be based on the comfort of the zoo and the performance of the circus, but also can understand and realize the symbiosis between humans and animals more objectively. question.
Teddy Bear Museum
Recommended Index: ★★★★
This museum is genuine, and it is the same as Jeju Island . The overall area is not large. I didn’t report any hope before going there, but I saw it and was surprised. I recommend a child walker to go for a walk.
Haikou is a Belt and Road theme, so the layout of the venue is a bit like Hong Kong Disney's classic project "Little World". The exhibition area is very exquisitely decorated. Teddy bears are wearing ethnic costumes from different countries, and some are moving, which is very cute.
NO.4 Where should Haikou live?
Missacre Resort
In fact, the overall urban construction of Haikou is average, but there are several good places to take a vacation. Mission Hills Resort has two very worth staying in, both of which are under Marriott brands, Renaissance and Ritz-Carlton , they are all new hotels that opened at the end of 2017, and the quality is very good.
The two hotels share an infinity pool and children's club. The children's club will also organize some free and paid small activities, and also provide adult slippers, which is very family-friendly.
The most important thing is that the prices of these two hotels are touching. Putting aside the big holidays, the entry-level rooms of the Ritz-Carlton are often less than 1,000 yuan, and Renaissance is as low as about 600 yuan, which is almost the cheapest in the country. The same brand hotel, not to mention that there is an infinity swimming pool with invincible scenery.
The facilities around these two hotels are very good. They can be said to be a combination of food, drink, play and fun. Downstairs is the Outlets Commercial Street, with various hotels and discount brands. You can walk to the Teddy Bear Museum, 5-year The Wild Water World will also open in November. This Water World seems to be the only international brand of water world in China. If you really want to go to Feng Xiaogang Commune and have a free shuttle bus, it is a good place to take a vacation and take a walk.
West Coast Resort
Many people come to Hainan to Sanya, so they ignore that Haikou also has seas. But to be fair, there is indeed a big gap between the sea in Haikou and the sea in Sanya in terms of appearance, but even if there is a gap, Much cleaner than the sea in the north. The beaches on the west coast are also very fine and small. Most importantly, there are 11 months a year to ride on waves.
I have only lived in Shangri-La on the West Coast. It is said that this is the most cost-effective Shangri-La in the country. The entry-level room price is around 600 yuan per year. All rooms are sea view rooms and can be walked to the beach.
not only has a large outdoor swimming pool, but also an indoor standard swimming pool, and three quiet hot spring pools! The indoor swimming pool and hot spring pool are simply wonderful for those who come to Hainan during the coldest time of winter!
Not to mention there are indoor and outdoor children's activity rooms and gym saunas, which are completely standard on vacation.Except that the room is a little older, but at this price, there are really no shortcomings!
Haikou City
If you just suspend Haikou, you need to take your child to live in the city, the Nanyang Museum theme hotel I have stayed in feels good. I stayed in the arcade , which is really completely museum style, from the lobby to The corridors are all in the museum, with many exhibits related to the voyage of the South and Oceans. They feel like a wonderful night in the museum and the location is invincible. The old street of the arcade is downstairs, and it is quite interesting to live with your children.
Near the airport
Some people need to take a plane in Haikou, recommend a hotel I have stayed in a relatively close to the airport, Meilan Greenland Platinum Q Hotel, which is about the same level as Smart Holiday, with a basic room type of more than 300. There is also free pick-up and drop-off service. The room is close to the airport. 200 meters away is a complex called Greenland International Tourism City, which has a meal supermarket.
