New observation on Hainan's economy: fully integrating into China's "Global 123 Express Logistics Circle"
2026-03-16
By 2035, fully integrate into China's "Global 123 Express Logistics Circle", achieve the goal of one-day delivery domestically, two-day delivery to neighboring countries, and three-day delivery to major cities worldwide, and build a solid logistics and transportation support for the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port. This is the development goal clearly stated in the recently released "Hainan Province Comprehensive Three dimensional Transportation Network Planning Outline" (hereinafter referred to as the "Outline"). With the comprehensive promotion of the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port, there will be significant changes in Hainan's economy, population, industrial development pattern, and transportation demand. It is predicted that from 2024 to 2035, the average annual growth rate of freight volume in Hainan Province will be around 10%, among which the average annual growth rate of freight volume in shipping hubs will be about 10%; The demand for high-value, small batch, and highly efficient freight is rapidly increasing. Therefore, the "Outline" proposes that by 2035, Hainan will have basically built a modern high-quality comprehensive transportation network that is convenient, efficient, high-quality, humanistic, green, intensive, intelligent, advanced, safe and reliable. It will achieve interconnectivity within and outside the province, as well as three-dimensional connectivity of city (county) level nodes. The comprehensive transportation service capacity and quality will continue to improve, and passenger intermodal transportation will be convenient and smooth. The multimodal transportation of goods will be economically efficient, and the "Hainan 1234 Travel Transportation Circle" will be basically achieved (commuting within 1 hour in Haikou Economic Circle, Sanya Economic Circle, and Danyang Economic Circle, with major cities such as Haikou and Sanya reaching the whole area within 2 hours, the whole island within 3 hours, and major cities in China and Southeast Asia within 4 hours), fully integrating into China's "Global 123 Fast Freight Logistics Circle". The sentence is:. According to the Outline, by 2035, Hainan will have basically built an internationally oriented and fully open international shipping hub, an international aviation hub that connects the whole country, the two oceans, and the world, as well as a safe, efficient, and convenient sea land gateway hub that connects Hainan with mainland provinces. The coverage and connectivity of sea and air routes will be significantly improved. In the construction of an international shipping hub, Hainan will rely on Yangpu International Hub Seaport to enhance its important node position in linking the new land and sea channels in the west, facing the RCEP countries, and connecting the "the Belt and Road", and build a regional container hub port, a distinctive "industrial port" of Hainan Free Trade Port, and a shipping service innovation platform. At the same time, Hainan will increase its efforts to expand routes to Europe, America, Australia, New Zealand, the Middle East, and gradually build a network of domestic and international dual circulation domestic and foreign trade routes; Strive to gradually expand the pilot scope of managing container goods exported through Yangpu in accordance with the "international transit" mode. In the construction of international aviation hubs, Hainan will rely on the Hainan Airport Group, mainly consisting of Haikou Meilan Airport and Sanya Phoenix Airport/Sanya New Airport, to enhance its hub level and node status in the global aviation network, strengthen integrated coordination, enhance effective supply and service guarantee capabilities, strengthen international tourism cooperation, actively develop the aviation economy, and create an international aviation hub that connects the whole country, faces the "two oceans", and connects the world. In terms of unblocking the Qiongzhou Strait transportation channel, Hainan will build an intensive, systematic, and diversified cross Strait comprehensive transportation channel, promote the development of cross Strait conventional and high-speed rail transportation modes, actively explore the development of cross Strait multimodal transport such as container "public water public", and form a diversified development pattern of complementary, staggered, and integrated linkage advantages such as passenger ferries, railway ferries, and multimodal transport. In addition, Hainan will also promote the innovation of the "one document system" model for international multimodal transport, actively promote the pilot of the property rights of international multimodal transport documents, continuously improve the efficiency and convenience of port clearance, encourage the development of international transit, cargo consolidation and other services, and achieve institutionalized cost reduction and efficiency improvement; Accelerate the cultivation of international, platform based, and comprehensive logistics supply chain service enterprises, improve the supply chain network facing the "two oceans" and radiating across the country, explore innovative transportation organization methods such as Qiongzhou Strait trailer transportation, and achieve market-oriented cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Previously, Hainan had introduced 18 measures to coordinate and promote the effective reduction of logistics costs throughout the province. According to the Implementation Plan for Effective Reduction of Logistics Costs in Hainan Province (2025-2027), by 2027, the ratio of total social logistics costs to GDP in Hainan Province will not exceed 14.5% (excluding the influence of "China Yangpu Port"), the freight transportation capacity will be further improved, the freight transportation structure will be further optimized, the logistics operation system will be further improved, and key areas such as transportation logistics and warehousing logistics will be promoted to reduce costs and increase efficiency, creating a market environment that effectively reduces logistics costs in the whole society and better supporting the construction of Hainan Free Trade Port.
