As you plan your next Hainan adventure, don't miss the Chinese mainland's first cross-sea cable car—a 2,138-meter aerial corridor that whisks you from the shore to Nanwan Monkey Island in just seven minutes.
Riding the Aerial Corridor
Gliding along at about 18 km/h, semi-open cabins let sea breezes flow freely as you soar over Nanwan Bay. Below, a bustling 'floating market' of fishing rafts creates a living tapestry against the turquoise water.
Panoramic Tropical Views
Look toward coconut-framed hills and the island's lush greenery. The ride offers uninterrupted vistas of the coastline, making it a photographer's dream and a fresh way to connect with nature.
Innovation Meets Sustainability
By reducing reliance on motorboats, this cableway provides an eco-friendlier link to the island's wildlife and supports Hainan's push for sustainable tourism. It's a glimpse into how tech can enhance travel while preserving local ecosystems.
Traveler Tips
Best experienced in the early morning or late afternoon to catch golden light. Tickets are available on-site or via official tourism apps. Combine your ride with beach exploration and local cultural spots for a full-day itinerary.
