Chinese spaceports are generally closed to foreigners so I don't have much information, please reach out if you know more. For Chinese citizens a permit can be booked with CASC for a fee, typically around $20 USD.
How to get there
The closest airport is Haikou Meilan International Airport in Hainan. From the airport you can take a 30-minute train or bus to Wenchang, and from there a 40-minute taxi ride will get you to the launch site.
