Things To Do in Haikou

Haikou's old town, just north of the negligible Haikou Gongyuan (Haikou Park), around Xinhua Lu to Jiefang Lu and Zhongshan Lu would likely be more interesting if it wasn't in such a sorry state of disrepair and now hidden under years of soot and grime. There are a few memorial halls (Wugong Ci, or Five Officials Temple, in the eastern part of town) and a tomb (Hairui Mu in the western part of town) dedicated to various Chinese historical figures who were banished to Hainan. However, these are usually of interest to Chinese tourists only.
