Self-driving tour guide for Hainan Island East Route

The Hainan Island Self-Driving Tour is 1,000 kilometers long and is divided into the East Line and the West Line. The east line has more scenery, complete facilities and relatively more tourists. There are fewer scenic spots on the west line, which are relatively primitive and less crowded. - There are two routes around the island: One is the Hainan Ring Road (a highway with no view of the sea). One is the Hainan Ring Island Tourist Highway (where you can see the sea). Please pay attention to the distinction.
