Walking the wide shady streets of Haikou and suddenly I find the humble coconut trees both fashionable and photogenic. Why can't we do likewise?

This is Deshengsha St, the old part of Haikou, where wealthy Hainanese returned from Nanyang (Southeast Asia) before the war to build these classic structures, with architectures they brought from abroad. Hence some of them look like pre-war buildings in Malaysia & Singapore.
