Cities and everyday life
In Haikou, explore the historic Qilou streets and their urban surroundings. Allow time for walking, a local meal and everyday life. Not every street or interior is a separately ticketed attraction.
Religious sites
The Nanshan complex near Sanya can be planned as a separate outing. Dress appropriately, respect photography restrictions and keep quiet where requested. Check current visiting arrangements.
Li and Miao traditions
When exploring local traditions, distinguish visitor presentations from communities’ everyday lives. Read the venue’s information and ask permission before photographing people. Choose souvenirs with clear information about their origin.
Flavours of the island
Local food can be an important part of the trip. For allergies, prepare written information in Chinese and confirm ingredients. Do not assume a translated dish name lists every ingredient.
