By MaiD1122 |

A great place for a walk, this is the best place to experience Hainan without any restrictions

By niudaodao |

During the evening rush hour in Haikou, you will also experience the heavy traffic jams. If you want to catch a dinner party, you have to leave early, otherwise you will definitely be late.

By High-speed jeep |

This main road connects Haikou's old and new towns, heading southeast. With beautiful landscaping and a view of the sea to the north, it serves as both a major transportation route and a scenic avenue. The stretch from Holiday Beach to Xixiu Beach, approximately 5 kilometers long, is a prime spot with dedicated tree-lined cycling paths, making it a perfect place for cycling.

By baodaolili |

Coconut Avenue is very spacious and has a strong southern style. It is especially beautiful under the lights at night. It is adjacent to the beach and is a great place for a leisurely stroll.

By Crunchy dog ​​food |

The coastal avenue is suitable for walking slowly and enjoying the sea breeze.

By ★JoShun★ |

Beautiful Binhai Avenue, fresh air and beautiful environment. Paradise on earth

By Small fresh |

It is one of my favorite streets. It is refreshing during the day and beautiful at night. It has a very natural scenery. I like to ride along the coastal avenue with friends to the Holiday Beach to enjoy the sea breeze or go to Fushan Coffee on the west coast to relax.

By Mu Xier |

Coming out of Xiuying Port is the Binhai Avenue, lined with coconut trees and sunny. Ah, this is the taste of Hainan.

By Cinbereal |

The road is wide, with typical southern style, blue sky, white clouds and coconut trees.

By Celtic |

It has the feeling of a coastal city, with a row of coconut trees, which looks very tropical. It is one of the main roads that connects to cities and counties such as Chengmai in the west, and is also the only way to get to the railway station and the pier.

By 1111 Sanan Madman |

If you have a car and like to race, you can go crazy on the west coast section of Binhai Boulevard in the middle of the night.

By Otaku |

You can drive, cycle, or run. The coastline is long and beautiful. Listen to the waves of the coconut palm sea, and the sand is fine and the water is ordinary.

By Take a walk on a snail |

Great attractions

Great food

The people are great too

By Huang Daxia |

After visiting Haikou this time, I felt that it had changed a lot compared to ten years ago. The city is more beautiful, the environment is cleaner, and the air is fresher. My only regret is that the Qiongzhou Strait Bridge has not been built yet! The ferry is terrible!

By Dear Self |

It's very beautiful and I recommend it to everyone. Looking forward to meeting you next time

By Shinsukeemon doesn't have a sword |

It is very suitable for a walk in the evening. If you like taking pictures, you can go there. The night breeze, the gorgeous neon lights, and the bridge in the distance make it a beautiful coastal city.

By Dunhuang Envoy |

A main road along the river and the coast in the north of Haikou. However, the traffic is quite congested.

By Jason Qu |

Binhai Avenue, a two-way, eight-lane road lined with coconut trees, serves as Haikou's welcoming boulevard and gateway to the city. Starting from Haikou Railway Station and Nangang Wharf in the west, it passes through West Coast, Xiuying Harbor, Wanlv Park, Guomao, Binhai Interchange, and Xingang Wharf. East of Haikou's iconic Bell Tower, it connects to Changdi Road and Binjiang Road, leading to the airport. Binhai Avenue is flanked by Haikou's bustling Guomao business district, the city's bustling CBD, and numerous landmarks, including the HNA Hilton Hotel, Haikou's current tallest building. Several other hotels also line its boulevards, including the Langham Haikou, the Haikou Marriott Hotel, the Sheraton Haikou, and the Holiday Inn.

Binhai Avenue is also home to the largest park in Haikou city, Wanlv Park. In addition, Century Park, West Coast Strip Park, etc. are also located on the side of Binhai Avenue.

By A treasure |

Driving along the Coastal Boulevard, it is a good idea for tourists to experience the local scenery along the way.

By C Pig |

The only way to go to get off work every day.

The scenery is nothing special, it really is just an "ordinary story".

But when friends from other places come here and walk along this road, they will think, wow, this is really nice.

There are huge traffic jams in the morning and evening, and there are many traffic lights. Since Guomao became a one-way street, the traffic here has become even worse.

However, it does not prevent me from liking this road.

When stuck in traffic, you can watch the sun rise and slowly set, with an occasional dragonfly or bird flying across in front of your car. It's very beautiful.

By Not a naughty mother |

The Binhai Avenue is still very beautiful, the road is wide, unlike the city where the roads are full of electric vehicles. You can enjoy the sea view while walking along the coast.

By Happy Ranger |

A main road in Haikou, running east-west. The lower section is directly on the beach, offering a view of the sea. Coconut trees and other lush trees line the road.

By Mu Yichangxi |

The scenic coastal avenue is a great place for a stroll or a bike ride. It's best to go in late winter or early spring when the temperature is just right.

By Mingyuan |

The unforgettable city of Haikou. The first time I was robbed was in this city. I never want to go back.

By Jokes |

Next to Haikou Binhai Avenue, there is a pedestrian fitness trail built along the seaside.

By ∮Bu Ding Wei Lai |

When you push open the balcony of the hotel, you will see a swimming pool. When you look again, you will see the boundless sea. It is very beautiful. A beach and sea all to yourself.

By synelf |

Haikou's Binhai Boulevard is a comprehensive urban thoroughfare integrating transportation, living, and tourism functions, and serves as a vital showcase for Haikou's cityscape. However, as one of Haikou's main thoroughfares, Binhai Boulevard is a long-established thoroughfare and currently appears to require regular updates and maintenance. Binhai Boulevard boasts excellent greenery, with coconut trees lining both sides and passing major attractions such as Wanlv Park. One side is dominated by buildings, but these buildings are of varying ages and heights. A unified plan is desirable.

By Wonderland Scenery |

The functional positioning of the Haikou Binhai Avenue project is a comprehensive urban thoroughfare integrating transportation, living and tourism functions. It is also an important window that reflects the urban landscape of Haikou.

By Xu Xiaoxian Ace |

The air is good, and this is the route chosen by many cyclists.

By little witch |

It is a comprehensive urban arterial road integrating transportation, living and tourism functions, and is also an important window that reflects the urban landscape of Haikou.

By Dream dance and clear sorrow |

Binhai Avenue is considered a relatively clean and tidy place in Haikou!

By Xuanzang's Journey to the Tang Dynasty |

I came to Haikou again after 16 years, and this time I stayed at the Jinjiang Inn on Binhai Avenue. The scenery nearby is nice, and it is close to the Bell Tower, Qilou Old Street and Friendship Commercial District. The bus downstairs is super convenient!

By Silly. Xiaoxuan |

It's not bad. The tall coconut trees on both sides of Haikou's main roads make the city's characteristics quite obvious.

By Jian Ge |

This seaside avenue is very long and beautiful. You can come and see it.

By aug377 |

A clean coastal avenue, perfect for morning exercise.

By S and L's memory trip |

The scenery along Binhai Avenue is very beautiful. Sitting in the car and facing the sea breeze gives you a comfortable feeling.

By Time Machine L |

The scenery of Binhai Avenue is quite good, and many people are riding bicycles in groups.

By The wind is clear and the clouds are light |

The best section of Haikou Binhai Avenue is from the gate of Wanlv Park to the Haikou People's Hall. The bicycle lanes in other sections are bumpy and in a terrible state.

By Hot eyed cute |

Just like its name, Binhai, the scenery along the way is very beautiful

By BrighterDay |

Uh... I don't understand why this is also a tourist attraction...

By Hidden Bamboo Hero |

Binhai Avenue is always worth a visit. Just the coconut trees along the way give you a Hainan feel.

By mumin1966 |

The scenery is pleasant and beautiful, very suitable for the whole family to take pictures

By Beautiful West Coast |

Binhai Avenue is a road along the coast, running east-west, with Xiuying Harbor in the middle and coconut trees on both sides. It is considered one of the more beautiful roads in Haikou.

By Ding A smile Ding |

I was sitting in the car early in the morning and the weather was not very good, so I didn’t feel very good, but it was very comfortable to ride along the route and the coastal scenery was nice.

By Chen Weijie 7 |

From the seaside avenue in the north of Haikou, you can see the Qiongzhou Strait, but of course you can't see Zhanjiang across the way.

By Yunxi |

I drove to Haikou for business, but actually I didn't travel. I just passed by many places. But what I remember most is the scenery I encountered on the way from Sanya to Haikou. Facing the sea and the wind, the sea water roared and hit the rocks, splashing and breaking into pieces of jade. It was very spectacular.

By Little Confused |

Driving by, the climate and scenery are still very good.

By Zheng Xiaobao |

The Binhai Avenue is a good drive, but it is often congested. You can get to Wanlv Park/Guomao/Shimao/Century Bridge/Holiday Beach/Wharf/Government Affairs Center, etc. It is relatively clean.

By Bajie |

It took a long time to walk, mainly because there were no cars... Some local people didn't wear shoes...

By Catalpa wW |

The Coastal Boulevard is very beautiful. The way to Holiday Beach, the 7 Days Inn where I stayed is also on the Coastal Boulevard, I like it very much

By Laglion |

It is a relatively well-built road, and the buildings along the street are among the taller ones in Haikou.

By azalea |

This is a road along the coast of Haikou. The road is wide and not crowded, and you can enjoy the sea view while riding a bike.

By -Fat Rabbit- |

I walked there in the afternoon. There was a traffic jam on one road and I walked for more than an hour. After I finally found a fork in the road, I got lost.

By Jimmy |

A big road by the sea, you can drive through it, and you can also take the bus from here. It is a must-pass place, so it’s okay to take a look.

By Simple Life |

This is the best and earliest scenic avenue in Haikou. The scenery along the way is nice, especially along the west coast after leaving the city.

By Lime in the rain and snow |

Here are Wanlv Park and Baohua Seaview Hotel. Going forward, you can reach Century Bridge and China World Trade Center. On the other side is the direction of the beach.

By Kavaborg |

Come here by bike, enjoy the sea breeze, drink a coconut, especially when the sun is about to set, it is so beautiful.

By Turtle on the road |

It can be said to be the most beautiful road in Haikou. I like to drive to the roadside and take a walk after dinner. The air is very good and the greenery is also very good. It's great.

By Fried cheese |

I have lived in Haikou for a few years. In the 1990s, Binhai Avenue was close to the sea, with tall coconut trees and long beaches. I could ride along Binhai Avenue and feel the unique style of a coastal city. However, with the continuous reclamation and construction of houses in recent years, Binhai Avenue has actually become a road in the city. It is no longer close to the sea, so I no longer have that feeling.

By Sailors heading to the dock |

Although Haikou is not as suitable for vacation as Sanya, it is still very comfortable to stay in for two days. Take a walk and feel the sea breeze.

By aixben |

This is probably Haikou's main road. I really like it because it allows people from outside to quickly get familiar with the city's terrain. Driving along this road alone feels pretty good!

By MaiD1122 |

You can see the sea and the mainland all the way! The greening is very good, the weather in Haikou is very good, and the air is very good!

By Stop and go |

Haikou's infrastructure is a bit behind schedule, and there are always traffic jams, which is very frustrating. But I would rather have a little trouble than build a bridge over the sea. I guess it will be overcrowded and littered with garbage, repeating the mistakes of many inland cities.

By Rong_ |

We drove all the way to the destination to eat the special private dishes. The sunset was particularly beautiful when the sun was setting.

By ゾ孤孤︶ㄣ |

The sea level is very close to the road, making people worry about whether it will flood when the tide comes in. It feels great.
