Because there is no cross-sea bridge, it is the only railway ferry in China at present. The ship is covered with rails, which are connected with the rails on the shore. After the train got on board, the ship was about to leave the shore. After arriving at the other side, connect with the rail on the other side, and the train can travel to the rail on the other side.

train ferry

The train ferry in Qiongzhou Strait is carried by three large ferries, namely, Yuehaitie No.1, Yuehaitie No.2 and Yuehaitie No.3. The train is divided into four sections on the mainland, then boarded and reassembled into a whole train after landing. Passengers outside can still see the scenery of the sea during the day.

The larger ferry boat can park 4 trains, each with 5 carriages, and one * * * can accommodate 20 carriages. If one car is 25m, five cars are125m, which means the length of the ferry is at least150m.

It takes 50 minutes to cross the sea, but it takes 2 hours for the train to get in and out of the ferry and merge into one train. It takes about 3 hours for the train to cross the sea from Guangdong Hai 'an North Port Wharf to Haikou South Port Wharf and then to Haikou Railway Station.

During this period, passengers are not allowed to get off. The crew of Guangdong-Hainan Railway is different from the crew on land. They must have a seaman's certificate, swim and save lives.
