By train
No direct train runs between Hong Kong and Sanya, and no single change makes a reasonable rail route: this is a trip to fly.
Hong Kong: Hong Kong has its own immigration controls; high-speed trains from Shenzhen and Guangzhou arrive at West Kowloon. Sanya: Hainan's ring high-speed line is not linked to the mainland network; trains to the mainland cross by ferry and are slow, so most visitors fly.
By air
One nonstop flight a day from Hong Kong (HKG) to Sanya Phoenix (SYX), 1 h 50 min in the air, at 19:20, with Hong Kong Airlines. One flies back. Door to door, with the airports at each end, count about 4½ hours; fares vary by day and are typically about ¥430.
