Cities & counties

Wenchang

Wenchang is the northeast coast county, east of Haikou. Its own profile gives it the island’s longest shoreline, about 278.5 km, and names Qinglan as the port facing the open sea. The launch center is here.

What you come for

Mulan Bay and the other east-coast bays are the beach day. Longlou is the town beside the launch site; the towns page ties that name to the Long March 7 launch of June 2016. The closed site is not a walk-in museum.

Coconut groves are the ordinary landscape between the station and the shore. Qinglan is a working port and the logistics side of Sansha, not a second Sanya beach.

How to arrive

The east-ring station is Wenchang, between Haikou and Qionghai. Buy the ticket on 12306. The published sample times are only samples; the same page says to follow that day’s official time and fare.
