On the way from Wenchang to Boao, you can see the endless sea and coconut groves by the sea, and you can also enjoy the beautiful scenery of Wanquan River along the way. When you pass by the mouth of Wanquan River, you must stop to enjoy it carefully and take photos as a souvenir. Because it is recognized as the most beautiful place in Wanquan River, it concentrates on rivers, green islands, seaports, sand dikes and other landscapes. If you have enough time, you can visit Dai Yu Beach in Boao, which is a naturally formed beach peninsula with long and narrow terrain. Its terrain is similar to the Gold Coast in Australia and Cancun in Mexico. The South China Sea is misty outside, and the Wanquan River and Shamei Inland Sea inside are beautiful.

Boao-Wanning-Yalong Bay-Sanya: Yalong Bay is the most beautiful.

From Boao to Wanning, it is mainly an alluvial plain with flat terrain. After ten thousand mu of fertile land, it is mainly rural scenery. Dongshanling, the first mountain in Hainan, is located in Wanning. The scenery here is simple and beautiful, and there are a lot of cultural relics. You might as well stop and enjoy it.

It is suggested that Sanya should be used as a rest stop on the way around the island, where you can fully enjoy the warm sunshine and top-class coffee, and then replenish the necessary materials and get up and continue on the road.

Sanya-Tianya-Dongfang: Please come to the ends of the earth.

Sanya is the compromise point of the whole line. If you go west from here, you will start riding along National Highway 225.

Oriental-Yangtze River-Danzhou-Haikou: the most unique desert landscape

Riding this route, you can see the most unique desert landscape in Hainan. There is a tropical desert along the coast of Changjiang Li Autonomous County. The biggest difference between this desert and the desert in the inland area is that many tropical plants grow here. Many cacti, wild pineapples and some nameless drought-resistant and heat-resistant low plants grow on sand dunes of all sizes. In addition, there are some sparse and uneven artificial afforestation. There is a beach not far from the beach. The desert is so close to the beach that there is nowhere else in China.

Haikou has beautiful scenery and many places of interest. In recent years, many tourist areas and scenic spots are newly developed, and the tourism content is very rich. There are famous scenic spots such as Wugong Temple, Hairui Tomb, Li Shuoxun Martyrs Memorial Pavilion, Xiuying Fort, People's Park, Lv Wan Garden, Holiday Beach and Shishan Crater.

Transportation: It is suggested to take the "Coconut Princess" at Huangpu Port to Haikou, and sail to Xiuying Wharf in Haikou every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The journey is 18 hour. The departure time of ships from xiuying port to Guangzhou is every Monday, Wednesday and Friday.

Bike: You can take your bike aboard and start riding when you get to Haikou.

Accommodation: There will be a small town every ten or twenty kilometers on the cycling route. Most small towns and cities have all kinds of hotels, but the conditions are uneven. You can also bring a tent on the road, but you must not sleep alone. Be sure to stay with multiple companions before camping in the wild.

Gourmet: There are many cuisines in Hainan. Wenchang Chicken, Jiaji Duck, Dong Goat, Lehe Crab are the "four famous dishes in Hainan". Don't miss them when you come here. In addition, all kinds of seafood are also a good choice. Qingbuliang, Paul powder and Hainan powder are authentic snacks, which can be tasted in snack bars in the streets, while coconut and coffee are the must-buy specialties in Hainan.

The choice of roads, for cycling tourism, it has higher requirements for roads. When traveling, you should choose a flat and easy-to-pass road. Unless absolutely necessary, try to avoid taking ramps and dirt roads, which are harmful to people and cars. Therefore, only when the dirt road is obviously a shortcut or it is necessary to go, can we take the dirt road. Generally speaking, it is better to walk a few more miles than not to walk at all. As the saying goes, "ten miles is not as good as one mile", which is also reasonable for cycling.

Riding skills, some riding tours, especially long-distance tours, it is very important to master riding skills in order to save physical strength and ensure safety. The adjustment of bicycle saddle is an important aspect of bicycle technology. What is the best height to adjust the bicycle seat? Generally speaking, the seat is low, with a backward inclination of 5- 10 degrees, which is the most convenient for long-distance travel. Because the low seat has many advantages: first, the low seat pedal is flexible, and different parts of the foot can be used to exert force in turn, so that various muscles of the foot can take turns to rest and prolong durability; Second, the seat is low, and the position of the person is relatively lowered, which can reduce the air resistance and facilitate leaning on the handlebar to improve the air flow; Third, the seat is low and slightly backward, which can make the body straight, the hip is evenly stressed, reduce fatigue, reduce the burden on both arms and protect the wrist; Fourth, lower seats are good for safety. In case of emergency, you can land with your legs straight, which can avoid danger. Therefore, it is best to adjust the seat when traveling, which is of great benefit to maintain physical strength, speed and endurance. In addition, it is also important to choose the right speed for cycling. Generally speaking, ordinary bicycles should run at a speed of about15km when their physical strength is normal and the road surface is flat. If their physical strength is good, they can accelerate to 20km. It is important to keep the speed of cycling and choose the right speed to avoid the phenomenon of fast and slow, hard riding and step by step.

On the way, you should have a rest every two to three hours. Don't stop whenever you want, but insist on resting at that time or at a predetermined place. It is more important to master the driving speed properly when driving under special road conditions. Whether it is a mountain road or a long and steep downhill road, the speed should not be too fast or too slow, so we should choose the speed according to local conditions.

Because bicycles are the main means of transportation for tourism, the success or failure of tourism is directly related to the quality of bicycles. Cycling tourism is a kind of sports, and it is often necessary to check the speed, so cycling tourism can also be divided into ordinary cycling tourism and special cycling tourism. The former can choose ordinary counterweight or calibrated bicycle, while the latter can choose special racing car and mountain bike. Special bicycles move fast and are more flexible and powerful when driving on different routes. In addition, the bicycle parts are thoroughly inspected to see whether they are sensitive and reliable and whether their performance is good. Take the most commonly used repair tools, such as wrenches, pliers, air pumps and various easily damaged spare parts, such as balls, slats, inner tubes, valve cores and brake shoes. In case of failure, it can be repaired in time. In the assembly, if there is anything inappropriate, we should readjust the assembly to make it in the most flexible state.

Friends who like to travel by bike, make an appointment with a few cyclists and set off for their destination together. I hope the above reminders will be helpful to your journey. Have a nice trip! !
