  • The eastern loop, which serves Boao, Wanning and Lingshui, runs from Sanya station, one stop away, not from the airport.

The airport

  • Sanya Phoenix is the airport for the southern end of Hainan, which is China's tropical beach destination.
  • Haitang Bay is the duty free shopping district, and the reason a lot of domestic travellers fly here at all.
  • Sanya has a second airport under construction at Hongtangwan, but Phoenix is the one in use.
