The Qilou(arcade building) in Hainan is an architectural form evolved from the combination of ancient Western architecture and traditional culture in southern China. It incorporates a variety of architectural decoration styles, which makes the Qilou(arcade building) complex form a variety of classical buildings.

Haikou Qilou Old Street is one of the most distinctive street landscapes in Haikou. The oldest building, Sipailou, was built in the Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 700 years. Deshengsha in Haikou Qilou Old Street is the largest clothing wholesale market in Hainan.

The Hainan University South Gate Night Market is one of the most famous night markets in Haikou. I went to the night market to find delicious food on the evening during the golden week holiday, but there were too many people that night, so I just walked around and didn't get any food..
