Old street
Tong lau buildings

A road running from the port at the west to the southernmost point of the main road is lined with tong lau buildings similar in style to those of Haikou's Bo'ai Road area and those on Wennan Old Street in Wencheng Town, Wenchang. While the Bo'ai Road area buildings are in the process of being restored, and Wennan Old Street buildings have been completely restored, the buildings on Puqian's old street are dilapidated, some of which have been condemned or structurally collapsed inside.

Access

Prior to 2019, access from Haikou was by road around Dongzhai Harbor, or by ferry boat from a small peninsula within the harbor. From 2019 onward, the Puqian Bridge, which crosses the mouth of the harbor provides more direct access to Haikou. Puqian still has ferry service to the nearby Beigang Island.

gollark: Are you trying to do sandboxing? Sandboxing is very hard. I can try and figure out a way around your sandboxing, but then any program can use that.
