Haikou Clock Tower
海口钟楼
A red clock tower on Changdi Road beside Haidian Creek, serving as the gateway landmark to Qilou Old Street. Its lights reflected on the creek at night make for great photos.
Haikou Clock Tower stands on Changdi Road in Longhua District, on the south bank of Haidian Creek. It was first built in 1929, funded by overseas Chinese and the local chamber of commerce, and was once the tallest building in Haikou. The original tower was later demolished, and in 1987 it was rebuilt near the original site in its original form. The red-and-white tower stands alongside Qilou Old Street and Zhongshan Road, and it is one of the most representative landmarks of the old city. Admission to the exterior is free, and climbing the tower is generally not permitted. You can stroll the waterfront path along Changdi Road to Heping Bridge for night views of Haidian Creek. Getting there: several bus routes stop at Clock Tower, and it is about a five-minute walk from Qilou Old Street.
