Puqian Arcade Street
铺前骑楼老街
An arcade street in the old fishing-port town at the northern tip of Wenchang, preserving many buildings in Southeast Asian style. It connects to Haikou via the Haiwen Bridge.
Puqian Town is at the northernmost tip of Wenchang, on the shore of Puqian Bay. It has a long history as a fishing port and a hometown of overseas Chinese. Old arcade streets such as Shengli Street preserve many arcade buildings built by overseas Chinese in the early twentieth century, with continuous arches and finely decorated gables. Along the streets are small shops selling seafood, zaopo vinegar, and Hainan noodles. Since the Haiwen Bridge opened, the drive from Jiangdong in Haikou takes about 40 minutes. You can visit it on the same day as Mulantou Lighthouse. The old street is free to visit.
