Explore Hainan Island on the World’s First High-Speed Loop Train

Hainan Loop Train

Embark on a unique journey through Hainan Island aboard the high-speed loop train, marking a historic milestone in China’s high-speed railway expansion. The circular high-speed railway line offers passengers a seamless way to traverse the island, immersing themselves in the picturesque landscapes of Hainan: from lush mango groves and rice fields to majestic mountains, winding rivers, and quaint villages.

For travelers with flights departing from Haikou Airport, the express train from Sanya to Haikou Meilan Airport provides an excellent option, allowing them to savor the scenic beauty along the east or west coast of Hainan Island. The east coastline, although shorter, offers its own unique charm.

Daily loop trains facilitate journeys around Hainan Island, enabling tourists to book tickets for a complete loop from Sanya to Sanya. Operating from early morning at 6:30 am until 10:20 pm, these trains are in high demand, necessitating advance online ticket reservations.
