海口泰迪熊博物馆
This museum is actually a branch of a chain of museums based on Jeju Island in South Korea. The museum is divided into three sections. The first section features models of many of the cities on the Silk Road with teddy bears standing in place of humans. The second section displays some antique teddy bears and the last section is filled with teddy bear artwork. Predictably there is a shop near the exit where you can purchase all manner of teddy bear merchandise.
冯小刚电影公社, 观澜湖华谊冯小刚电影公社 Mission Hills • Huayi Brothers • Feng Xiaogang Movie Town, Movie Town Haikou
A theme park established by the famous Chinese film director Feng Xiaogang. The two main 'scenic areas' are 1942 Street and Nanyang Street. The former is modelled on a street in Chongqing that appeared in the film Back To 1942, while the latter is designed to look like a typical Chinatown in Southeast Asia. The main thing to do here is wander about the streets and look at the buildings while doing some shopping and dining. There are also several small museums, including a wax museum, a coin museum, a dragon museum, an earthquake and typhoon museum, and a film museum. Other attractions include an aquarium and a 'snow & ice world'.
美舍河凤翔湿地公园
Not just a park, this is part of an ongoing environmental project aimed at rehabilitating the Meishe River (美舍何). The project has been heavily promoted by the local media and touted by some government officials as a model for other cities in China. Before and after photos appear to show that the river is much cleaner than before. The main highlight of the park is the artificial wetlands, which have been designed to act as a biofilter for pollutants entering the water. A museum is being constructed at the park to educate visitors about the local ecology.
丘浚墓
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.
丘浚故居
Built in the second year of the Ming Dynasty (1369), Qiu Jun's former residence is the oldest wooden building in Haikou and a rare example of early Ming architecture.
琼台书院
Established in commemoration of Qiu Jun, believed to be the most brilliant scholar in Hainan and a renowned Ming Dynasty academic. Construction began in 1705. The two-storey main building is made of brick and wood and is rich in traditional ethnic characteristics. The well-preserved academy is now the site of Qiongtai Normal University. The academy became celebrated after a well-known Cantonese and Qiong drama was written based on events there.
