This bike tour is suited to those who want a shorter cycling trip in Hainan. You could also add this tour to part of a longer tour around China/SE Asia. Fit this tour into a long weekend: Fly to Sanya on Thursday after work, spend Friday, Saturday, and Sunday cycling and fly back on Monday. You could also fly back on Sunday evening in time for work on Monday if necessary.

Day 1: Sanya to Wuzhishan

Early morning drive out towards Wuzhishan in central Hainan. This is one of the most beautiful parts of Hainan and is an ethnic minority region. Expect to see dramatic river gorges, tropical farmland, waterfalls, thick jungle, and local minority people about their daily business. You will explore the area by bicycle and have the option to hike around the rainforest of Wuzhishan Mountain, or raft down a mountain river.

Day 2: Wuzhishan to Baoting

Cruise down the twisting 9 km descent from Wuzhishan town towards Baoting Li and Miao Autonomous County (The Li and Miao are the 2 largest minority groups in Hainan). You will see evidence of these local minorities in Baoting Town’s architecture.

Cycle past Baoting Town and you will arrive near the base of Seven Fairy Mountain. The road has little traffic and is in excellent condition. Along the way you’ll see many betel nut plantations and authentic villages. After the cycling you can also relax and soak in a landscaped outdoor hot-spring pool fed from the natural mountains springs.

Day 3: Baoting to Sanya

Cycle the quiet, gently rolling road from Baoting eastwards and then south through some fantastic rural countryside.

Along the way you can explore the waterfalls and go swimming in spring water streams. In the afternoon you have the option of visiting Monkey Island, or continue cycling back to Sanya.
