Imagine circling the Chinese mainland's tropical Hainan Island in just 4.5 hours – a reality brought to life by the new ring high-speed railway. Gliding past palm-lined beaches and swaying coconut groves, Fuxing trains are redefining the Hainan speed and turning a scenic journey into a living showcase of openness.
As the Chinese mainland's first island-circling high-speed line, the route links Haikou and Sanya along what is often called the most scenic coastal railway. By compressing time and distance, it brings the dividends of the Hainan Free Trade Port’s zero-tariff and facilitation policies within easy reach of travelers, traders and entrepreneurs.
Since its recent launch, the railway has carried thousands of passengers daily, from digital nomads scouting new hubs to business teams exploring emerging markets. Each stop transforms free trade policies into tangible experiences: seamless borderless travel, faster cargo transit and new connections between coastal communities.
For young global citizens and travelers, the Hainan ring railway is more than transport – it's a dynamic invitation to experience the Free Trade Port in motion. Whether you're tasting local seafood in Haikou or catching the sunset in Sanya, this line shows how infrastructure can reshape regional economies and day-to-day life.
Looking ahead, the railway sets a blueprint for sustainable, immersive travel. By knitting together commerce, culture and natural beauty, it proves that openness isn't just a policy on paper but a living, rolling reality on the rails.
