Claim
Ding Hui
Correction

This infobox entry is out of date: Haikou's mayor is Zhang Yong, not Ding Hui.

Full reasoning

An official 2026 Haikou government work report identifies Zhang Yong as "Haikou mayor" (海口市市长 张勇). That directly contradicts the infobox's listing of Ding Hui as mayor. Because the government report was published by a Haikou government site in February 2026, it is strong evidence of the current officeholder.

Claim
Hainan Medical College, founded in 1993, offers degrees in medicine. It is located in the southern part of the city.
Correction

The school is no longer called Hainan Medical College; it was officially renamed Hainan Medical University in 2024.

Full reasoning

This entry uses an outdated institutional name. In May 2024, China's Ministry of Education approved the renaming of Hainan Medical College (海南医学院) to Hainan Medical University (海南医科大学) and stated that the former institution's establishment was revoked. The university's own charter likewise says it was renamed to Hainan Medical University in 2024. So the article's present-tense listing of Hainan Medical College as a current major educational institution in Haikou is incorrect.

Claim
The Haikou Tower is an under-construction supertall skyscraper. Located on Guoxing Avenue at Haifu Road, it will be 94-storeys, and is scheduled for completion between 2020 and 2023.
Correction

The completion timetable here is outdated. Official project sources still described the tower as under construction in 2024–2026, with completion projected for late 2026 or 2027, not 2020–2023.

Full reasoning

The project is no longer using the old 2020–2023 completion window stated here. The architect HENN's current project page for Hainan Center (the tower formerly known as Haikou Tower) says the building is under construction and lists the project year as 2027. KONE's 2024 project announcement likewise says the Hainan Center (formerly "Haikou Tower") is expected to be completed in late 2026. Those official project sources directly contradict the article's claim that the tower was scheduled for completion between 2020 and 2023.
