The name Coconut City is just another name of Haikou, also called Elegance. Nicknames of cities are common in China and even in the world. There are many reasons for nicknames, mainly based on the distinctive representative characteristics of the city, historical allusions or other natural reasons.
Due to geographical reasons, a large number of coconut trees are planted in Hainan Island, and coconut trees are also economic trees. Coconut trees are also planted in other parts of China, but not as much as Hainan Island, which is relatively scarce. Haikou, as the cultural and economic center of Hainan Island, has always been prosperous, so it is inevitable to plant a large number of coconut trees in the whole city. Coconut trees are beautiful and have no fallen leaves, so they are suitable for urban landscape trees. Like Haikou, a city with swaying coconut trees, coconut trees are the iconic landscape of Haikou.
1985 In July, Haikou Municipal People's Congress received a motion from NPC deputies on the nickname of Haikou, in which three nicknames of Longcheng, Haicheng and Coconut City were put forward. The proposal was transferred to Shi Zhiban. Shi Zhiban thinks that "Coconut City" is more appropriate and can better reflect the characteristics and spirit of Haikou. After deliberation and approval by the Standing Committee of Haikou Municipal People's Congress, Haikou has the reputation of "Coconut City".
