How to go from Wuhan to Hainan by train and transfer to ship?

Option 1: Wuchang-Sanya

Take T201 (Beijing West-Sanya) directly to Sanya, the cost is 321 yuan for a hard seat and about 550 yuan for a sleeper berth. This train is the fastest, but tickets are hard to buy, and it passes through Wuchang at 4 a.m. In addition, if the weather is not suitable for ferries, the train will only run to Guangzhou. This has happened before, but it is still rare.

Option 2: Wuchang - Zhanjiang - Hai'an - Haikou ——Sanya

More people take trains to Hainan and choose to transit in Zhanjiang. Take K157 (Beijing West-Zhanjiang) to Zhanjiang. The final arrival time is 7 a.m., the cost is 182 yuan for a hard seat and about 320 yuan for a sleeper berth. In addition, there is a K457 (Zhengzhou-Zhanjiang) that goes to Zhanjiang after 6pm, so it is not convenient to transfer. If you consider staying in Zhanjiang for one night before traveling the next day, you can choose. The price is similar to K157.

(Tip: Someone may sell bus tickets from Zhanjiang to Hainan on the train. It is recommended not to buy them. Otherwise, you will have to follow him/her after getting off the train and wait for the bus, sometimes for two days. There's nothing you can do if the bus doesn't come for three hours. Also, there's a good chance that you won't have a seat after you get on the bus. If you argue with him, his attitude will be worse than yours.)

Come out of Zhanjiang Railway Station, at One hundred meters away on the right side of the train station square is Zhanjiang Xiashan Bus Station. Take the bus to Hai'an (departures on a rolling basis, every half hour), the journey takes two and a half hours, and the fare is 45 yuan (the fare may be higher now). The shuttle bus takes passengers directly to the Hai'an Port ticket hall, and then buys a boat ticket to Haikou, which costs about 30 yuan. It takes more than an hour by fast boat and two hours by slow boat.

Of course, Zhanjiang Bus Station also has direct buses to Haikou and Sanya, but they also have to pass through Hai'an Port and take a ferry here. If the weather is particularly good, you can see Haikou across the sea from Hai'an Port.

From Haikou to Sanya, you usually take the Ring Island Expressway, which takes more than 3 hours.

Accommodation in Hainan is not very expensive. Many hotels and apartments with good conditions can be purchased for 60 to 70 yuan a night.

Sanya, Haikou, Boao, and Wanning are all places worth visiting

That’s it, I wish you a happy journey!
