 Kind Reminer:
Passengers from Guangzhou to Haikou or from Haikou to Guangzhou can also take the trains, as they have a stop at Haikou Railway Station.

 Guangzhou to Haikou Train
Z385: depart at 04:57 and arrive at 15:15 with travel time of 10h18m;
Z201: depart at 16:02 and arrive at 03:40 the next morning with travel time of 11h38m.

 Haikou to Guangzhou Train

Z202: depart at 20:45 and arrive at 08:20 the next morning with travel time of 11h35m.
 

The above Guangzhou – Sanya train schedule may not satisfy every passenger’s needs, when a transfer at Haikou Railway Station is recommended. By this way, high speed trains are available for the ride between Haikou and Sanya. But a transfer between Haikou Railway Station and Haikou East Railway Station is needed. Passengers can take bus line 35 to travel between directly which takes about 2 hours and CNY 5.

1. Overnight sleeper trains should be the top choices for passengers who need to take a long distance travel. From Guangzhou to Sanya, Z201 which departs at night and arrives the next morning is recommended. It saves a lot of time as well as some money. Train no. Z202 should be the primary choice for passengers who want to travel from Sanya to Guangzhou.
2. Since foods provided on the train are simple and a little expensive, passengers should better prepare their favorite food for the long travel. Portable charger is also a necessity in a long distance travel. Most importantly, daily necessities like tooth brush, tooth paste and towel also need to be packed in the suitcase.
3. The travel time onboard may be quite boring, so one can choose to look out to appreciate the different sceneries from one place to another.
 

Nearly 10 pairs of flights between Guangzhou and Sanya are available. The overall travel time is about one hour and 30 minutes and the air fare costs around CNY 400 to CNY 950.
