海南岛为中国一个省级行政区 – 海南省的主岛。海南省简称琼，位于中国最南端。北以琼州海峡与广东划界，西临北部湾与越南民主共和国相对，东北濒南海与台湾省相望，东南和南边在南海中与菲律宾，文莱和马来西亚为邻。

琼州大桥预料2012年开工建设，2020年建成通车，工程总投资将超过1000亿人民币。大桥跨海部分长度达26.3公里。大桥有两层：下层为火车道，上层为公路。驾车跨越只需20分钟。目前依靠渡轮通过海峡候船行船时间需要5小时。大桥落成后能大大刺激海南的经济发展，若能配合未来的港珠澳大桥开通，由香港驾车到海南只需要5至6小时。。。。。。。认识我们的海南 …… 更多

Hainan Province is situated in the southern most tip of China.  It was under the administration of Guangdong Province.  In April 1988 it became the youngest province and the largest special economic district in China.  Hainan Island, with an area of 34,000 square kilometer, is China’s second largest island after Taiwan.  The population now stands at 9 million (2010). 

Haikou（海口） is the provincial capital of Hainan Province.  Sanya（三亚）, located in the south of the island is the second biggest city in Hainan.  Miss World pageant was held on four occasions here.  There is a motor expressway that connects Haikou and Sanya.  There are express trains, launched in December 2010, that ply between Haikou and Sanya with stopover at Meilan Airport（美兰机场）, Wen Chang（文昌）, Qiong Hai（琼海）, Boao（博鳌）, Wan Ning（万宁）, Lin Shui（陵水） and Ya Long Bay（亚龙湾）. The train journey from Haikou to Sanya takes 2 hours with a  cruising speed of 200 km/hour.

Presently a specially constructed ship with rail track makes it possible for the train to go on board and continue its journey to Guangzhou. The construction of a bridge across the Straits of Qiongzhou（琼州海峡）, connecting Haikou and the Leizhou Peninsula（雷州半岛）, is expected to commence in 2012 at a cost of over 100B RMB.  The bridge, 26.3 km long, has 2 level: the lower for train and the upper for vehicles. Travelling time is 20 minutes. Hainan will benefit tremeneously when it is completed in 2020. With the completion of the Hongkong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge, it takes 5 to 6 hours to drive from Hongkong to Hainan.
