HAIKOU, Sept. 12 (Xinhua) -- The scenic ring road surrounding the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park passes through nine cities and counties in Hainan, including Lingshui, Baoting, Ledong and Changjiang, with a total length of 466 kilometers. The ring road was officially opened to traffic in December 2024.
This road connects the beautiful scenery of the mountainous areas in the central and southern parts of Hainan Island and builds a green corridor that balances ecological protection and cultural tourism development.
At present, many tourists come to cycle and drive on the road, boosting tourism-related consumption including accommodation, catering, specialty agricultural products, and outdoor culture and tourism along the road.
