Chun Cui Café

Spanning a vast area, Evergreen Park is one of the largest urban parks in Haikou, covering hectares of lush greenery, recreational facilities, and walking paths offering a retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Directly beneath Evergreen Park’s Ferris wheel, lies Chun Cui Café, waiting to be discovered by park-goers seeking refreshment. It’s an unassuming café with a large outdoor patio, and a nice spot to grab a beverage or snack of your choice. With simple camping tables and chairs dotting the outdoor patio, and basic furnishings, Chun Cui has a no-frills appeal for anyone seeking a relaxed atmosphere. The café is a good choice for park goers looking for refreshment or people looking for a quiet spot to get some work done. It’s very quiet as the park shields you from the noise of urban life. Chun Cui Café’s menu is simple and fresh, offering a selection of light bites such as toasted sandwiches, croissants, fruit bowls, and refreshing juices. Prices are very reasonable with a black coffee costing only 18 RMB … Originally listed on tropicalhainan.com in May 2024. We have not confirmed that it is still open, or its hours and prices.
