Qilou rhythms: Five ways to feel old Haikou

CGTN

01:22

Wandering through Haikou's Qilou Area feels like stepping into a living gallery of architectural heritage, where weathered stone and shaded walkways tell quiet stories of the past. To truly absorb its spirit, savor the street-side food, stroll beneath the elegant arcades where Eastern and Western influences softly meet, and capture the vintage facades bathed in tropical light. Don't miss the uniquely local refreshment – a sip of "laoyan," that perfect salty-sweet reprieve from the island heat – before losing yourself in the lively hum of a nearby traditional market, where the city's authentic pulse beats strongest.
