Latest Review for Haikou Banana International Youth Hostel
Sunday night BBQ is delicious - would definitely recommend that and the beers are buy one, get one free if you have the BBQ too. Not as close to the beach as we would have liked and the excursions seemed expensive, but it was clean and friendly.

Haikou Banana Youth Hostel, Hainan Island, is a converted villa located on Haidian Island, in the north of Haikou city. The tropical climate means that Haikou is often at its most bustling in the evening. On an evening on Haidian Island the streets fill up with tropical fruit stalls, outdoor bars, and many small outdoor restaurants selling various local dishes from BBQ'ed seafood to Chao Bing (a favorite snack for a warm evening which consists of the fruit of your choice blended and frozen before your eyes with a special device). There are also many newly built outdoor swimming pools and hot springs which are a pleasant way to relax during a warm day or evening. The rest of Haikou City offers many interesting old Hutongs, small temples, fishing ports, beaches, and shopping streets to explore.
Haikou Banana Youth Hostel, Hainan Island is the first ever International Youth Hostel (IYH) opened by a foreigner in China.
