Hainan Island - Public Transport

This page gives information about the transport options available within Hainan Island for
travelers, backpackers and tourists. For information on getting to/from Hainan see the Getting
Here page.

The main way to travel around Hainan is bus. There is currently no passenger train service. Within
cities/towns/villages you can get around by bus, taxi, motorbike, motorized tricycle, and pedal
tricycle. There are good roads linking the major towns, but these turn into bumpy dirt roads
(these are often the most beautiful, surrounded by tropical scenery and small traditional villages,
leading you into the unknown).

Major roads in Hainan

There is a western expressway linking Haikou to the towns along the western coast and to Sanya in
the south. The eastern expressway heads south from Haikou and along the south-east coast, all
the way to the southern most tip, Sanya. There is also the Haiwen expressway that links Haikou
and Wencheng on the north east coast. Through the mountainous middle of Hainan island runs
the Haiyu middle Highway. This passes Qiongzhong town and the Five Finger mountain (Wu Zhi
Shan) area and on to Sanya. This highway is slower and not as well paved as the expressways.

Haikou long distance buses (within Hainan)

There are buses from Haikou to most areas of Hainan island. Haikou has 3 main bus stations; the
south, east, and west bus stations (there is also the bus station at XinGang passenger port for
buses to the Chinese mainland). The south station opened in 2005 and is the new main station.
Below are the timetables for the stations. We cannot guarantee these are still exactly correct, but
they will at least give you an indication of destinations and frequencies. Unfortunately we don't
have a full timetable for the south station yet.

Taxis:
Taxis are plentiful in Hainan and are an easy way to get around, but not as cheap as the mainland.
Don't expect drivers to speak English. The metered fare is 10 RMB for the first 3km and 2 RMB per
additional km. It is common to haggle the price with taxi drivers. Doing this should enable you to
get a fare below the metered price, but you need some idea of what the price should be. For
shorter distances it is cheaper (and more fun) to take a motorbike/trike or pedal trike. Expect to
pay 2 RMB per km.
