The world's only high-speed railway around the island, the Hainan West Ring High-speed Railway, is about to be accepted

Recently, the world's only high-speed railway around the island, the 345-kilometer-long Hainan West Ring High-speed Railway, has achieved a closed loop and entered the static acceptance stage
.

The Hainan West Ring High-speed Railway is the largest transportation infrastructure construction project
in Hainan Province to date.
The West Ring Railway runs from Haikou City in the north to Sanya City in the south, and the western coast of the coastal island, passing through six cities and counties
of Chengmai, Lingao, Danzhou, Changjiang, Dongfang and Ledong.
It is designed as a double-line Class I electrified passenger and freight co-line railway with a design speed of 200km/h and 16 stations

Construction began in September 2013
.

The static acceptance of the Hainan West Ring High-speed Railway is scheduled to be completed
by August 31.
After the railway department rectifies and re-examines the problems found in the static acceptance, it will move to the next stage - joint debugging and joint testing
.
After joint debugging and joint testing
, dynamic acceptance and safety assessment are carried out.
According to the current schedule, it is expected to open by
the end of the year.

Prior to the construction of the West Ring Railway, the Hainan East Ring Railway was completed and opened to traffic
on December 30, 2010.
This dense, fast-speed, transit-based railway with tourist and intercity passenger flow mainly covers many tourist attractions along the line, accounting for 78%
of the province's developed number.
The shape of the Boao high-speed railway station, where the Forum for Asia is located, shows a strong Hainan style, which makes the eyes of guests and friends at home and abroad shine.

During the annual Boao Forum in Asia from 2011 to 2015, heads of state and dignitaries of various countries took the East Ring High-speed Railway, and they all spoke highly of China's high-speed rail development achievements
.

Today, the Hainan East Ring Railway has become an important support and way
for the people of Qiongdao to travel.
At present, the average passenger load factor of the Eastern Ring Railway is as high as more than
90%.
From July 1 to August 27, the summer transportation was launched, sending a total of 2.
23 million people, an increase of 12.
8% year-on-year, and sending an average of 39,000 people per day, ushering in the largest average daily passenger flow
since its opening.

After the opening of the Hainan West Ring High-speed Railway, it will form a world-only high-speed railway around the island with the East Ring Railway, build a Hainan high-speed railway ring transportation system, and become a powerful engine
for the economic development of the whole island.
On the one hand, the high-speed railway around the island will accelerate the urbanization process of Hainan, the western region will usher in new development opportunities, and the western coastal land and tourism resources are expected to become economic advantages, promote regional integration development, and help shorten the gap between the east and the
west.
On the other hand, the high-speed railway around the island will promote the construction process of Hainan International Tourism Island, and is expected to gradually change the long-term
situation of "hot south and cold north" tourism on Hainan Island.
