Haikou in the summer heat 🌴 laobacha, a volcano & the Wormhole Library | China travel vlog

🌴 Three days in Haikou in late June, in the thick of the Hainan summer. This is how you spend a day that hot: old dad tea in the morning, the arcaded streets where the pavements are covered for exactly this reason, a night market students call their second canteen, a volcano crater said to be one of the best-preserved in the world, and a library on the sea. 🍵 Turn on captions to follow along. 🎬 Filmed June 2026 🎞️ Timestamps 0:00 Haikou 0:11 Pullman Haikou 0:37 Laobacha 1:53 Qilou Old Street 2:07 Hainan Museum 3:21 South Gate Night Market, Hainan University 3:59 Haidian Cheng 4:22 The next morning 4:38 Longfor Paradise Walk 5:33 Wormhole Library 6:54 The hot spring 7:18 Coconut chicken hot pot, Haikou Bay Plaza 8:09 The last full day 9:10 Leiqiong Geopark 11:43 Back at Paradise Walk 12:25 Skewers on Xinghai Bay Waterfront Street 13:28 Meilan Airport 📍 Places (in order of appearance) Pullman Haikou (海口星海湾雅高铂尔曼酒店) https://www.google.com/maps/search/?a...
