Trains are transported across the Hainan Strait between Hainan Island and the Guangdong mainland using train ferries. These ferry services connect the city of Haikou on the northern coast of Hainan Island with Hai'an, located at the southern tip of the Leizhou Peninsula. From there, the rail connections extend further north to cities such as Zhanjiang and Guangzhou.1
