Haikou to Build $2.1M Coffee Cultural Park

Travelers to Hainan often find plenty of cafes, but few offer more than a basic cup of coffee. What if you could explore the full spectrum of global coffee cultures—all without leaving the island? A new project in Haikou aims to change that, bringing world-renowned coffee varieties, processing methods, and cultural experiences under one roof.

The Shangdao Shuidu Coffee Cultural Park, backed by Hainan Jiulongquan Industrial, will cover 170 acres with a total investment of 149 million yuan (about $21 million). It’s designed to elevate Hainan’s coffee scene and introduce both locals and tourists to international coffee heritage.

What Is the Shangdao Shuidu Coffee Cultural Park?

Located in Jiuxi Village, Xinpo Town, Longhua District, Haikou, the park will integrate coffee cultivation, processing, sales, tasting, exhibitions, and leisure activities. This comprehensive approach aims to showcase the entire coffee value chain—from bean to cup—and offer visitors a hands-on cultural experience.

Key planned features include:

• A demonstration plantation for world-renowned coffee varieties
• A 3,000-square-meter coffee corridor with 30 themed wooden cottages
• A coffee expo museum
• A coffee retail street
• Two swimming pools and a children’s water play area
• 60 timber cabins for accommodation
• 30 hot and cold soaking pools
• Complete environmental infrastructure

Why Build a Coffee Park in Haikou?

Hainan has a 73-year history of coffee production, but the industry has faced ups and downs without reaching its full potential. Local coffee shops often lack variety and sophistication. The park aims to address these gaps by introducing high-end coffee culture and improving service standards.

The project is expected to:

• Raise the profile of Haikou’s coffee dining scene
• Promote the local coffee industry through better planting techniques and variety exposure
• Enhance tourism by offering a unique cultural attraction
• Strengthen ties with major coffee-producing countries like Italy, Kenya, Ethiopia, Brazil, Japan, Vietnam, and Taiwan

Community and Economic Benefits

Beyond tourism and coffee education, the park will create tangible benefits for local communities. It is projected to generate 12 million yuan (around $1.7 million) in annual tax revenue for the local government.

Specific community impacts include:

• 360 new jobs
• Opportunities for local farmers to grow coffee using company-provided seedlings and expertise, with guaranteed purchase
• Support for small-scale coffee workshops
• Income growth through land use and labor participation
