Driving along the eastern route of Hainan is simply amazing!

🚗 Hainan self-driving is divided into the eastern, central, and western routes. A round-the-island trip consists of the eastern and western routes, with the eastern route being the most classic, boasting Hainan's finest sandy beaches. The western route is more primitive, and it usually takes 7-10 days to complete. ♻️ For a round-the-island trip, you can start from either Haikou or Sanya. If you choose only the eastern route, you can start from Haikou and travel clockwise to Sanya. Route: Haikou-Wenchang-Boao-Wanning-Lingshui-Sanya 1⃣️ Arcade Old Street Hainan's distinctive architectural style, free of charge 2⃣️ Mulan Bay Several kilometers of coastal wind turbines are incredibly impressive 3⃣️ Qishui Bay A beautiful beach with coconut palm swings that make for great photos 4⃣️ Dongjiao Coconut Grove A traditional and well-known scenic spot, can be skipped if time is limited 5⃣️ Satellite Launch Center If you're lucky enough to catch a rocket launch, that's just fantastic 6⃣️ Boao Forum for Asia Venue Honestly, it's quite boring and can be completely ignored 7⃣️ Red Stone Beach Red reef and sandy beach, perfect for sunrise photography 8⃣️ Sun River Bridge This location is especially beautiful for aerial photography, great for surfing, and also a filming location for 'The Disappearing She' 9⃣️ Shenzhou Peninsula Definitely visit the popular lighthouse, it's less crowded in the morning and beautiful at dusk.

It's best to have at least two people taking turns driving to avoid fatigue. Car rental in Hainan is very convenient, with many charging stations for new energy vehicles, and driving a new energy vehicle can save a lot on fuel costs.
