Changying Wonderland

Housed in an ultra-modern building that looks like a tornado. Features exhibitions on space science, marine science, geology, physics and other branches of sciences. Visitors are required to make a booking before visiting the museum. Bookings can be made on the museum's website and WeChat public account.

Covers 108 km². China hosts one of the few dormant volcanic clusters from the Holocene period (about 10,000 years ago). The volcanic cluster in Haikou comprises 40 volcanoes and some 30 caves, however, most visitors only see the most spectacular volcano and crater. The lava rock villages in the volcano area offer a unique countryside scene and a glimpse into countryside life/culture. Notable villages in the area include Rongtang and Meishe. Both villages feature buildings made from volcanic rock. The park’s Haikou District is of course not the park’s only ‘district’. The other major district is the Zhanjiang District in Zhanjiang.

Nice beach with restaurants and cafes.

Beach park between Xixiu Beach and Holiday Beach.

Nice beach with a few restaurants. Watch the locals windsurfing and jogging. Not as much activity as at Holiday Beach, but closer to the city centre.

Qiu Jun's tomb is much less frequently visited than Hai Rui's tomb, in part because it was neglected for so many years. Restoration work began in the early 2010s and was completed in 2020. The tomb is now part of a small park called Qiu Jun Cultural Park (丘浚文化园). The park includes a museum about Qiu Jun, which opened in May 2022.
