As the impact of Typhoon “Tammy” (the 20th typhoon of the year) on Hainan diminishes, the Haikou Transportation and Port Management Bureau announced at 11:30 AM on October 27 that ferry services from Haikou’s Xinhai Port, Xiuying Port, and the railway’s South Port will resume operations at 2 PM today, based on meteorological information for the Qiongzhou Strait.
Transportation officials urge travelers planning to leave the island to book tickets through the “Qiongzhou Strait Ferry Home” or “Railway Ferry” WeChat public accounts and to plan their travel according to the scheduled departure times on their purchased tickets. They advised against arriving at the port without a reservation, and vehicles should not stop at entry points or nearby roads.
Additionally, the Haikou Railway Department announced that operations for the Hainan Ring High-Speed Railway and Haikou urban trains are expected to resume around 2 PM today. Travelers are encouraged to keep an eye on updates related to the running schedules of the Hainan Ring High-Speed Railway, Haikou urban trains, and passenger trains traveling to and from Hainan, as these schedules will be dynamically adjusted due to the weather conditions caused by the typhoon. For the latest train information, passengers should check the railway’s 12306 website, the 12306 app, and official announcements from the railway department.
