When to visit Haikou
High and low season in Haikou
The dry season, running roughly from November through April, is the most popular time to visit Haikou. Sunshine is reliable, humidity is lower, and outdoor activities are easy to enjoy. This is also when visitor numbers peak, so securing accommodation early gives you more options and better rates.
Summer brings heat and high humidity, along with the possibility of typhoons from July through September. Fewer international visitors travel during this period, which means easier bookings and generally lower prices. If you do visit in summer, keep an eye on weather forecasts and stay flexible with your plans.
Haikou hosts cultural and seasonal events throughout the year, with Chinese New Year celebrations drawing large crowds in late January or February. For a full picture of what's on during your visit, the official Hainan tourism website and local visitor information centres are good places to start before your trip.
