Tour route and time of cycling strategy around Hainan

For many young people, cycling around Hainan Island is full of temptations and challenges. 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. The following is a detailed strategy for riding 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, the mileage is not long and the difficulty is not high.

Moreover, in Hainan in winter, the temperature is suitable, the scenery is beautiful, the food is numerous, and the price is warm. Who can give up?

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 riders. The eastern route is the tour de France of the route map above me. Back to the origin of central Hainan. Of course, you can also choose the provocative tour of the western route. I like you!

Route recommendation

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

Midline: Stylistically different from the eastern line, there is no sea view, only tropical rain forest. It needs to climb all 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 good 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 route or the western route directly, and don't look back.

I rode the eastern and central lines. Needless to say, the characteristics of the eastern and central lines are clear at a glance. I just want to see more different scenery. And the midline climbing can also pave the way for the long distance in the future. It is rare not to climb mountains for a long distance, so I have to overcome my fear of mountains.

By car or by car?

Self-driving: 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. Besides, cars, like comrades in arms, have feelings. Imagine the road you will take in the future. This car will help you remember. If one day you stop riding and hang it on the wall, it will be full of memories, which means you can't make up for it by renting a car.

Rent a car: Apart from the trouble of packing and transporting back and forth, there is basically no advantage. Suitable for friends who just 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: I'm going to Hainan Island. The front wheel of the bicycle can be disassembled directly. It used to be a good time, but now it is basically not feasible. The safest way to take the train is to check the bike with China Railway Express at the railway station. It should be noted that it is necessary to check the arrival time of the consignment, sometimes one day in advance. Be careful not to affect the later journey.

Airplane: Airplane is the most commonly used mode of transportation. Although the price is more expensive, normal airlines are very friendly to consignment bicycles. First, you need to go to the bike shop to pack your bike. Generally 10 yuan can buy cartons, and the packaging fee is within 30 yuan. When you check in, you need to go through the cumbersome baggage aisle to board the plane smoothly. No more than the check-in amount is free, and you arrive at your destination at the same time as others.

Of course, it is also possible to encounter abnormal airlines, such as many low-cost airlines, such as AirAsia. Most of them have no baggage allowance. Even if there is, his family's baggage allowance can't check bicycles. Need to buy checked sports equipment separately, such as China Southern Airlines, which is very strict in size. We should try our best to avoid it. 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: As I am a novice, I still have a strong team spirit. Hainan is a popular route, so 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 is like-minded, and naturally they are richer.

Just kidding, I was forced to walk a long way alone for the first time, because my companion was disabled in the knee the next day and had to wait for me at the destination by car every day. At that time, I couldn't mend a tire. Along the way, I found that riding alone was not as difficult as I thought.

Light or heavy

Go into battle lightly: This is a style I insist on, which makes riding easier and easier. The saved physical strength and time can be used for playing. The disadvantage is that it costs a little more to stay in the store all the time, so you should make plans every day, find a good place to stay and arrive at your destination before dark. Suitable for short-distance travel or areas with low prices.

Reloading: more casual, happy-go-lucky, maximum freedom. You can save money on accommodation. You don't have to worry about finding a place to live, but you need to bear more weight. It's harder to ride, especially uphill. You still need to spend time looking for a suitable camping place. Need to have certain outdoor knowledge and ability, suitable for long-distance travel or high-priced areas.

My opinion: Hainan Island doesn't need tents and boilers at all. There are plenty of materials and low accommodation costs. Now the industrial chain around the island is gradually improving, and there are 5 17 youth hostels in big cities along the road. Even if you stay in an ordinary hotel, you can't share the expenses of 50 yuan per capita. Why do you have to move your luggage so hard? You're not traveling around China or the world.

Only when you are not tired of luggage will you have more energy to experience the scenery and humanity on the road, and you can really enjoy the ride and enjoy the journey happily!

About expenses

My 10 day trip is by plane, and the return trip is by train. All hotels, including one-day tour, diving and other transportation costs, but only 2800 yuan. Among them, the time spans the Spring Festival and the price is a little higher than usual. Of course, the expenses are generous and frugal, for reference only.

Write down my itinerary for your reference.

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

The first day is destined to be wonderful, 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. Next is the first day of getting used to riding. In addition, 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.

I chose to live in coconut grove or qinglan town in the eastern suburbs yesterday. I choose to live in qinglan town, where Wenchang chicken can already be eaten. Don't miss it. In the morning, I set out for the coconut grove in the eastern suburbs, and I took a detour, which was 20 kilometers more.

I passed the seaside for the first time today. The painting style may be different from what I expected, but the gray sea and rough beaches are enough to excite mainland children.

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

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

Go 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 way, and there is a bridge. At the end of the bridge, turn right, which is Cai's residence! This place depends on whether you choose to see it or not.

Before going to Wanning, if the season is right, you can see a large area of pineapple plantations. This is the first time I have seen a pineapple living in a tree.

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 bit difficult at first, because it is no longer a flat road or a road with little ups and downs, and mountains begin to appear.

Before entering Sanya, you will come to a crossroads. Go straight to Tiandu Town and Sanya City, turn right to Wuzhishan City and turn left to Yalong Bay. If you have enough time, you can become 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, I suggest you spend at least one day to experience the local customs of Sanya.

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

Another option is to sign up for a day trip, such as going to Wuzhizhou to play with water. The quality of the sea water is very good, so you can relax for a day and play in the water. You can also sign up for a one-day diving tour to experience cha.

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. Of course, if you climb, you will go downhill. Don't be timid, just ride!

The painting style on the road began to change from seascape to mountain view. On the way, we will pass two scenic spots, Penang Valley and Yanoda Rainforest. If you can't get in, you can visit yourself. Rock climbing in Hainan Island needs to pay attention to summer vacation, have more rest and bring enough water.

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

After yesterday's riding, you 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.

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

0 10- 10: 10, completing the island in one day. Nowadays, there are fewer people on the hillside. One thing to note about Hainan Island is that there is no toll station and no one on duty in expressway. Don't make mistakes.

The scenery on the road today may be a little tired, so there is nothing to miss. Go straight to Haikou and get the results around the island.

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

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.

It's amazing to learn for the first time that Hainan trains can also take boats.

The tour around Hainan Island is also over. Please pay attention to those who don't know!

Note: Novices in this article refer to cyclists who have no long-distance riding experience, not pure 360 Krypton novices. They don't ride at all or just commute while riding.

For the latter, before planning a long distance, it is recommended to take part in several outdoor activities of local cyclists to ensure that they have a one-way riding experience of 100km or more.
