 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
Z384: depart at 04:57 and arrive at 16:30 with travel time of 11h33m;
Z504: depart at 18:26 and arrive at 07:00 the next morning with travel time of 12h34m.

 Haikou to Guangzhou Train

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. Although they take a long time, the direct overnight sleeper trains which depart at night and arrive the next morning are still recommended because they could save one-night hotel spending. 
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.
 

Around 6 pairs of flights between Guangzhou and Sanya are available. The overall travel time is about 1.5-2 hours and the air fare costs around CNY 400 to CNY 950.
