Haikou's largest open tropical seaside eco park (its 'seaside Central Park'), with cycling + kites + sunset glow. Haikou's largest man-made open park, its thousand-mu (approx. 66 hectares) lawn rolls out from Binhai Avenue to the coastline, with coconut palms, banyans and tropical flowering trees standing in scattered groves, earning it the reputation of Haikou's 'seaside Central Park'. The looping greenway inside the park is the home ground for locals' cycling, kite flying and family picnics, and the evening scenes where the sunset glow shares the frame with the Haikou Bay skyline are perennial fixtures on local social media trending lists. It shares the same coastal greenway as Century Park and the Wormhole Library, and cycling is the smoothest way to link them together — a core stop for experiencing Haikou's 'park city' character.
Getting there: Binhai Avenue
