Step into a living movie set! Haikou’s century-old Qilou Old Street—a mesmerizing blend of Eastern and Western architecture—is stealing the spotlight in the recently released film The Day We Lit Up the Sky. 🎬 From its ornate carved columns to retro shopfronts, every corner of this historic district feels like a scene ripped straight from the silver screen.
As Haikou prepares to host the 6th China International Consumer Products Expo this year, visitors are flocking to walk the same streets featured in the film. Local businesses report a 40% surge in foot traffic since the movie’s debut, with travelers snapping selfies at iconic locations like the pastel-colored shutters and Art Deco balconies. 🏛️📸
"It’s like time travel meets TikTok," says Singaporean tourist Lena Koh, 24. "You’re surrounded by history, but everything’s so Instagram-ready." Pro tip: Don’t miss the night markets popping up near the expo venue—they’re serving Hainanese chicken rice with a side of cinematic magic. 🌙🍚
