The torch relay traversed 3.8 kilometers of sandy beaches and three kilometers of roads in Sanya Bay before transitioning to a 4.5-kilometer aerial relay starting from Haiyue Square. Continuing through a 5.4-kilometer sea route from the Sanya Yacht Tourism Center to the Half Moon Bay Yacht Club, with the beautiful lighthouse as a backdrop, this relay route connects the land, sea and air.

A total of 131 torchbearers, including 12 for the lighting ceremony, 107 for the on-site relay, and 12 for the opening ceremony, were arranged. Along the route, the relay showcased industries such as the yacht economy, low-altitude economy and sports and coastal resort tourism, with a focus on highlighting Hainan's historical and cultural heritage, its picturesque coastal natural scenery and the remarkable achievements in economic and social development through the construction of the free trade port, according to the organizer.
