Qilou Old Street features a fusion of Asian and European architecture, with touches too of Indian and Arabic styles. The arcade houses are influenced by the overseas Chinese merchants who built them.
The ground floor is set back into the building providing a covered verandah sheltering the shops from the sun and rain with the living quarters on the upper levels
In the evenings there is street snack food. It's certainly worth a stroll if you are spending any time in Haikou.

This place is great for taking pics but food is not great. The expectations that we had from other traveling sources didn't match what we saw. The restaurant that we were in had other customers smoking during meals which made the experience not enjoyable. Nonetheless, it's good to say that we have been there and done that.

Well, it is good to see a European touch in the shops building along this old street. Shops here found to sell various product, there is convenience store, restaurant, pharmacy, etc. One shop sell local fresh drink, I don;t know the name of the drink but it is mixed some local fruit with lemonade, feel very fresh one to drink under the heat of Haikou. One thing, be careful with the e-bikes as they have no sound and many of them running along the street, this street is busy with the kind of bike, be careful when you are walking or cross the street..

A very commercialized street loaded with shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, beautiful bronze statues, each telling their own story, and more. Nice for an evening walk after a day at the beach.

This place was a walk away from our hotel. Its basically an old street with Nanyang styled architecture for shopping of cheaper options for clothes, bags and stuff. There are also eateries and tea shops. A nice walking street to take photos and do shopping.
Its a fairly extensive walk. But, in the cooling December weather, it was nice. Not too touristy with a good mix of locals and tourists. The shops mainly sell clothes and bags. For us from Singapore, the price is good us especially things like socks; childrens clothes; bags.
There are quite a few tea shops and eateries as well. There is also a meuseum in one of thr shops that shows the history of Haikou City.

It's easy to mix up two great Haikou locations: Qilou Old Street 骑楼老街 and Qilou Snack Street 骑楼小吃街.
Qilou Old Street is a section of restored streets with Qilou buildings where you can find coffee shops, Hainan souvenirs, small museums, and dessert shops mixed in with local life. Bring your good camera, this is a great place for a photo walk.
Qilou Snack Street is just one (fairly recently built) building with a large courtyard in the center. Here you will find all kinds of Hainan food, but nothing else. Many of the photos listed under Qilou Old Street are in fact from Qilou Snack Street.
Both places are great, but you might be disappointed if you get them mixed up!

The price here is reasonable. Compared that to sanya , which will be more expensive by two to three times. You need to purchase a prepaid card first then use the prepaid card to buy the food. You can refund the card when you are done.

Qilou old street at Zhongshan road has some some cafes/coffee boutique shops/dessert shops/shops selling selling souvenirs etc.. There's also an entrance to a wholesale clothes centre (福昌城) within this area. Kinda similar to the tanjong pagar area or Chinatown in Singapore. Nearby there's the haikou clock tower.
Qilou food street is a distance away from qilou old street, and it's a place that houses many varieties of food under one roof. Worth a try if you're in haikou.

I had a ball visiting Qilou...it exceeded my expectations. Lots of food stalls with yummy pot stickers, seafood (oysters :)), Hainan Chicken and more. Take anyone here (including business travelers)...they will have fun. I ate tons of oysters and drank local beer...impossible not to have fun.
