Almost the entire island is populated, and developed in a similar way to suburban Haikou. There are dozens of small temples located within this residential areas. A large strip along the western part has been developed into luxury homes. The northern part of the island is undergoing land reclamation. The entire northern coast, approximately 100 m wide, is sand and earth, with a newly built seawall installed to prevent erosion. Adjacent to this is dozens of fish and shrimp farms.
Plans to develop a new yacht port on the island are underway.[3]

There are three bridges that connect the island to the rest of Hainan:
- The Xinbu Bridge links with Haidian East 5th Road (海甸五栋路) on Haidian Island.[4]
- Haikou New East Bridge is an under-construction bridge that will cross the Nandu River. It will connect Xinbu Island at its eastern shore to the rest of the province.
- A small bridge, the oldest and smallest of the three, connects the main part of Haikou City at its noreastermost point with Xinbu Island close to its southern tip.
