About Hainan

Haikou, known as the ‘Coconut City’, is the capital of Hainan Province, China’s second largest island. The city features beautiful sunshine, crystal water, and soft sand. It is the provincial administrative center of Hainan as well being the focus of the local economy, culture, and transportation. It stands at the northern end of Hainan Island, on the west bank of the Nandu River estuary. This river is the longest on the island and the city’s name appropriately means ‘Mouth of the Sea’.

Haikou has evolved from a simple sightseeing city to an attractive seaside resort and business center. The services for visitors to the city are being extended with the aim of establishing the city as Southern China’s key center for tourism.

Administratively, Haikou is a prefecture-level city, comprising four districts, and covering 2,280 square kilometers (880 sq mi). There are 2,046,189 inhabitants in the built-up area all living within the 4 urban districts of the city.

Haikou was originally a port city. Today, more than half of the island’s total trade still goes through its ports.
