Route and time of cycling strategy around Hainan Island

Riding around Hainan Island is full of temptations and challenges for many young people. Riding on the beautiful seaside is really refreshing, but it also takes some physical strength. After all, the coastline of Hainan Island is still very long. Let's share with you a detailed riding strategy around the island.

It is about 900km around Hainan Island, and it is almost 800km along the central line. The east-west line is relatively flat, with short mileage and low difficulty.

Moreover, the temperature in Hainan in winter is suitable, the scenery is beautiful, the food is numerous, and the price is warm.

route selection

There are only two routes around Hainan Island: the East Line and the West Line completely surround Hainan Island, which is also a real roundabout, suitable for obsessive-compulsive cyclists. East Line+Middle Line is the Tour de France of the road map above me. Back to the origin of central Hainan. Of course, you can also choose the west line+the middle line. I like you!

Route recommendation

Eastern route: Hainan's elite route, beautiful scenery, near the sea, has the opportunity to ride to the coastal section, and there are many big towns along the way, which is convenient for replenishment.

Central Line: It is quite different from the Eastern Line, and there is no sea view, but there is a tropical rainforest style, and it is necessary to climb mountains along the way. The difficulty is the most difficult of the three lines, but the distance is short.

West Line: The scenery is the same as the east line, and the sea view is not as beautiful as the east line. It belongs to chicken ribs, but it can satisfy the sense of accomplishment and perfection around the island.

Personal suggestion: if you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, choose the eastern line+the western line directly, without looking behind.

I ride the east+middle line. Needless to say, the characteristics of the center line are very clear. I just want to see more different scenery, and climbing the middle line can also pave the way for long-distance travel in the future. Long-distance travel without climbing mountains is very rare, so I must overcome my fear of mountains.

By car or by car?

Car: For me, there is no concept of renting a car. Riding your own car is always the most suitable, and it doesn't take time to adapt. Moreover, a car, like a comrade in arms, will have feelings. Imagine the road you will walk in the future, and this car will help you remember. If one day I don't ride it and hang it on the wall, it's all memories, which means I can't make up the money for renting a car.

Rent a car: Apart from saving the trouble of packing and checking the car back and forth, there is basically no benefit. Only suitable for friends who want to feel the fun of riding and don't want to ride for a long time in the future.

How to get to Hainan Island by bus?

Train: When I go to Hainan Island, I can take off the front wheel and put it on directly. It was a beautiful time, but it is basically not feasible now. The safest way to ride a bike by train is to check with China Railway Express at the railway station. Need to consult the time when the goods arrive at the destination. Sometimes it needs to be handled one day in advance, so as not to affect the later trip.

Airplane: Airplane is my most commonly used mode of transportation. Although it is expensive, normal airlines are very friendly to check bicycles. First, you need to go to a bicycle shop to pack your bicycles. Generally 10 yuan can buy cartons, and the packaging fee is within 30 yuan. When checking in, you need to take the baggage aisle to board the plane smoothly. If you don't exceed the check-in quota, it will be free, and you will arrive at your destination at the same time.

Of course, it is also possible to encounter abnormal airlines. For example, many low-cost airlines, such as AirAsia, do not carry baggage allowance. Even if there is a baggage allowance, his family's baggage allowance can't check bicycles. For example, China Southern Airlines has strict requirements on size, so we should try to avoid them. In my airlines, such as Air China, Sichuan Airlines, China Eastern Airlines, Dragonair, Cathay Pacific, Etihad Airways and Czech Airlines.

Team up or walk alone

Team building: Because I am a novice, I am still a strong team player. Hainan is a popular route, and it is relatively easy to form a team. We can take care of each other and take pictures of each other along the way. Everyone has the same interests, so it is naturally more fun than walking alone.

Single use: suitable for riders who have experience in loading and repairing tires. The advantage is that they come at their own pace and are free and willful.

Tell a joke, I was forced to walk alone for the first time, because my companion's knee was ruined the next day, and I had to wait for me at my destination by car every day. At that time, I couldn't mend the tire, struggled all the way, and found that riding alone was not as difficult as I thought.

Light or heavy

Light: This is the style I insist on, which makes riding easier, and the energy and time saved can be spent on playing. The disadvantage is that you have been staying in a hotel and the cost is slightly higher. Make a plan every day, understand the accommodation situation and arrive at the destination before dark. Suitable for short-distance travel or areas with low prices.

Reloading: more casual, happy-go-lucky, the greatest freedom, but also save accommodation costs. Don't worry about finding a place to live, but you need to bear more weight and ride harder, especially uphill. It also takes time to find a suitable camping place, and it requires certain outdoor knowledge and ability, which is suitable for long-distance travel or high-priced areas.

My opinion: Hainan Island does not need to bring tents and boilers at all, and it has sufficient supplies all the way and low accommodation costs. Now the industrial chain around the island is gradually improving, and there are 5 17 youth brigades in big cities along the road. Even if you stay in an ordinary hotel, the per capita expenses will only be shared in 50 yuan. Why do you have to move your luggage so hard? You are not going to China, nor to the world.

Only by not being tired of luggage can we have more energy to experience the scenery and humanities on the road, and we can really enjoy riding and enjoying the journey happily!

About expenses

Travel 10 day, travel by plane, return by train, staying in a hotel, including all expenses such as one-day tour and diving, but only 2800 yuan, including the time spanning the Spring Festival, and the price is higher than usual. Of course, the cost is rich and frugal, for reference only.

I will write down my itinerary below for your reference.

D 1: Haikou 5 17- Lingshan Town-sanjiang town-Tanniu Town-Wenchang City-Qinglan Town is about 95km.

The first day will be very exciting, so the scenery is similar. The only difficulty is to learn to use navigation to find the right route and ride out of the strange Haikou city. The next step is to get used to the first day of cycling, and don't miss the coconut stall on the roadside.

D2: Qinglan Town-Coconut Grove in the Eastern Suburb-Wenchang City-Huiwen Town-changpo town-qionghai city-Mayor of Boao 124km.

Yesterday, I chose to live in the coconut grove in the eastern suburbs or in Qinglan Town. I chose qinglan town, where I can already eat Wenchang chicken. Don't miss it. I set out for the coconut grove in the eastern suburbs in the morning, so I walked 20 kilometers more.

Today, I passed by the seaside for the first time. The painting style may not be quite the same as I expected, but the gray sea and rough beaches are enough to excite the children in the mainland.

If you can reach Boao this morning, you can enjoy the more unrestrained Boao Sea.

D3: Boao-Longgun Town-Lehe Town-Wanning City-Xinglong Town 102km.

I went to see Boao Sea in the morning. The waves are very imposing and suitable for taking pictures.

Turn left after passing Boao Temple on the road, and there is a bridge. At the end of the bridge, turn right and you will find Cai's residence! See you choose to see this place.

Before arriving in Wanning, if the season is just right, I can see a large pineapple plantation. This is the first time I have seen pineapples living in trees.

Finally, the coffee and hot springs in Xinglong Town are worth a try.

D4: Xinglong Town-Qiaonan Town-Guangpo Town-Lingshui County-Sancai Town-Haitang Bay-Tiandu Town-Sanya City 132km.

Today's riding is a little difficult at first, because it is no longer a flat road, nor a road with little ups and downs, and mountains begin to appear.

Before entering Sanya, you will come to a crossroads, go straight from Tiandu Town to downtown Sanya, turn right to Wuzhishan City, and turn left to Yalong Bay. If you have enough time, you can turn into Yalong Bay.

In the evening, you can visit Sanya, eat seafood and watch the night scene.

D5: Take a day off

When you arrive in Sanya, it is recommended to take at least one day off and experience the local customs of Sanya.

There are two choices on this day. First, if you still have the heart to ride, you can ride around Sanya, ride to the ends of the earth and then return to the city. It is recommended to ride the Coconut Dream Corridor, which has been along the coast and the scenery is great. You can go to the beach and get in touch with the sea at any time. Route reference: Fenghuang Road-fenghuang town-Tianya Haijiao-Sanya Bay-Coconut Dream Corridor-Dadonghai-Luhuitou is about 55km.

Another option is to sign up for a one-day tour, such as going to Wuzhizhou to play with water. The quality of seawater is very high. You can also sign up for a one-day diving tour to experience the charm of diving. This is another big pit.

Of course, children only do multiple choice questions. As an adult, I said: I want it all! So playing for two days is more enjoyable!

D6: Sanya-Tiandu Town-Mishima Town-Xinzheng Town-Xiangshui Town-Wuzhishan City, with a total length of 87 kilometers.

Today, you need to climb three mountains on the road. Of course, if you climb, you will go downhill. Don't be afraid, just ride!

The painting style on the road began to change from sea view to mountain view. On the way, I will pass through two scenic spots, Penang Valley and Yanoda Rainforest, so I can't go in and visit by myself. Hainan Island needs to pay attention to the summer vacation, take more rest and bring enough water when climbing the mountain.

D7: Wuzhishan City-Maoyang Town-Hongmao Town-Qiongzhong County The total distance is 76 kilometers.

After riding yesterday, I can already feel the hardships of riding a mountain road. Continue to work hard today, the theme is still uphill and downhill. Fortunately, the distance is not long.

In addition to seeing the mountains, there are two scenic spots on the road: Wuzhishan Guanshantai and Baisha Uprising Memorial Park. If you get to Qiongzhong earlier, you can take a bus to Baihualing.

D8: total length of Qiongzhong-Tunchang-Haikou 135km.

After a day around the island, the hillside is much less today. One thing to pay attention to in Hainan Island is that there is no toll station on the expressway, so don't go wrong.

Today, the scenery on the road may be a little aesthetic fatigue, and there is nothing to miss. Go straight to Haikou and get the results around the island.

D9: Haikou City-Return Preparation

I mainly went to three places in Haikou: Qilou Old Street, Hainan University and Binhai Avenue.

If you choose to start by train, you can ride along Binhai Avenue to the railway station for consignment.

In Hainan, I first learned that trains can also take boats, which is amazing.

The strategy around Hainan Island has also come to an end. Please pay attention to what you don't understand!

Note: Novices in this article refer to cyclists who have no long-distance riding experience, not pure 360 Krypton novices who usually don't ride bicycles at all or just enjoy commuting by bike.

For the latter, before planning a long distance, it is recommended to participate in several outings of local cycling groups to ensure that you have a one-way riding experience of 100km or more.
