Located in Haikou's iconic Binhai Avenue, a building once known as the “Great Hall of the People” is now the Haikou Bay Performance Centre.

This cultural card of Hainan island’s capital city is the place to visit if you love opera, symphony and concerts of folk and chamber music. Here you can learn and dance to the rhythm of Chinese traditional sounds as well.

Inside, you can also see a wide variety of other shows performed on the mesmerising theatre's main stage.

The striking Haikou Bay Performance Centre is a must-see for architecture lovers alike. It originally opened its doors in December 1999 and has since had a face-lift, modernising the venue and adapting it to 21st century cutting-edge technologies.

The renovations have also created a great space for the hosting of corporate events and conferences.

With luxurious interiors, the colossal cultural attraction is spread across three floors and has an auditorium with 1397 seats. It is a magnet for lovers and fans of art and overseas visitors, who marvel at the wonders of the venue, seduced by its charming feel.

As it is so popular, it is best to get tickets in advance if you're planning to see a concert, to ensure you get one of the best seats in the house. Then, once inside, just sit back, relax and enjoy the memorable performance of your choice.
