1942 Republican-era Street / Nanyang Tide district (1930s Southeast Asian street scenes), a real-scene film and TV shooting location. A large real-scene film studio inside the Mission Hills resort, made up of two major zones: '1942 Republican-era Street' and the 'Nanyang Tide district'. The Republican-era street was rebuilt to the sets of the film 'Back to 1942', with rickshaws, an old post office and theater signboards creating a complete Republican-era streetscape; the Nanyang Tide district recreates the memory of Hainanese emigrants who sailed for Southeast Asia with rows of 1930s Nanyang-style arcade (qilou) shopfronts. Together the two zones contain over a hundred set buildings that host film and TV productions all year round. Visitors can change into a qipao or Nanyang-style outfit and roam the streets taking photos, and the atmosphere gets even better once the night lights come on. It shares the area with Mission Hills' volcanic-rock mineral hot springs and golf courses, making it ideal for a one-day suburban Haikou itinerary.
Getting there: Mission Hills, self-drive / by bus
