The race’s designed route aims to showcase Hainan’s circular tourism road and the Hainan Tropical Rainforest National Park, seamlessly connecting iconic landscapes. With a total length of 117 kilometres, the route primarily traverses the core area of the tropical rainforest national park, highlighting the stunning coastal scenery and unique natural ecosystem.
