Welcome to the most romantic corner at the southernmost tip of mainland China—Xuwen Nanjicun! 🌊 This is the mainland’s version of the “Ends of the Earth,” where the unique geography surrounded by sea on three sides creates stunning coastal scenery. Every snapshot here is like a healing masterpiece~ 【Must-Visit Highlights in Nanjicun】 📍 Dengloujiao The huge coral reefs and towering lighthouse complement each other beautifully. It’s recommended to visit at sunset when the evening glow dyes the entire sea orange-red—truly breathtaking! This spot is also the dividing point between the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf, where you can experience the amazing feeling of “standing with one foot in two seas.” 📍 Coral Museum Showcasing coral specimens unique to the South China Sea, the colorful coral world is perfect for family visits (free admission, remember to bring your ID). Walking towards the sea, you can also see clusters of coral stone houses built by local fishermen using materials from the area, which are very distinctive. 📍 Artist Village A cultural space transformed from abandoned fishermen’s houses, featuring rainbow-colored coral walls, swings facing the sea, and a shell wind chime path... every corner is full of Instagram vibes. Order a glass of old salt lemon water and you could daydream here all day. 【Practical Tips】 1. For self-driving, set your GPS to “Nanjicun Tourist Center” which has free parking. It’s about a 2-hour drive from Zhanjiang city. 2. Don’t forget sunscreen and a sun hat! The UV rays by the sea are very strong. 3. Recommended to try freshly caught and cooked Xuwen small abalone and sandworm porridge. The most authentic seafood stall is under the big banyan tree at the village entrance. 4. If you want to photograph the starry sky, consider staying overnight. Nanjicun guesthouses offer sea views right from the window. Remember to book in advance during peak season.

In October 2020, Xuwen Port, the world's largest passenger and cargo roll-on/roll-off terminal built by Guangdong Shipping Group, was officially opened. It is a port that is a comprehensive transportation hub integrating railways, waterways and highways. The first phase of the project has a designed annual throughput capacity of 3.2 million vehicles and 17.28 million passengers, with a total investment of approximately RMB 1.712 billion. The car has an elevator which is very advanced. Starting from Xuwen Port, the sea voyage between Haikou and Hainan can be shortened by half, and it only takes 1 hour to reach Hainan, while it previously took 2-3 hours. You can book tickets directly through WeChat or purchase them directly at the pier. The frequency is very high, with one basically every half an hour. During the lunch rush hour, there is one at 10 o'clock, so it is very convenient to drive across the sea. The fare for one car + one driver is around RMB 450 🥳🥳 #ferry #modernport

At the southernmost tip of the Chinese mainland, "Yaowei Township", there are large salt fields on both sides of the village road. It is the original salt water produced by the local salt farmers for thousands of years. The sea water turns the snow into salty salt with the help of hot weather and sea breeze. . Since the development of the tourism industry, the village has finally reached the road, and the joint villagers opened the B&B. The villagers and the outside world finally have more contacts. Coral House B&B in Antarctic Village, it can be said that the Antarctic Village artist tribe, each house here is built with local coral reefs, it seems that every wall here has a breath of breath and tidal sound When the coral is alive, it is a stunner in the water. After the end of life, it leaves a wonderful atmosphere for people. The coral house is warm in winter and cool in summer, with ventilation and rain, and it is very comfortable to live. Wake up in a house with coral walls, the roof is transparent glass, and the green plants and branches are visible. The sun shines into the house, which is simple and beautiful. The walls of the houses on both sides of the village road are inlaid with a scallop shell to create a vivid picture, giving local characteristics and showing the local customs.

When it comes to Nanjicun, what we all know are the Dengloujiao Waterline🌊, the southernmost point of mainland China📍, and various popular wall murals... But I think the Windmill Corridor and that secret little seaside wooden cabin🛖 are the most atmospheric‼️ Here’s the exact location📍: Duhai Battle Memorial🪦 Make sure to go when the tide is low, so you can get down to the beach🏝️ and get really close to the giant windmills! It’s the best time for photos📸 Another hidden photo spot📸 is about 300 meters from the Windmill Corridor, by the beach there’s a rundown little wooden cabin🛖 that gives off a Robinson Crusoe vibe, haha🤣 Location📍: Xuwen Baoluo Bay Station (You can’t see the cabin right at the location; you need to walk about 100 meters further along the road to the left to find it‼️ 🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅 After posting the last Nanjicun guide🈯️, many friends asked about accommodation choices: where to stay, what’s suitable, any recommendations? First, my principle is: choose the best within your means! Then pick what suits your needs~ For example, families with kids should focus on details for children; couples should prioritize privacy, etc... This is also why I chose not to stay in Fangpo Village (although it’s convenient for meals, most guesthouses are self-built with narrow spacing between buildings, so privacy is limited) For me, as a family with kids👦🏻, I need a place where kids can run freely, have things to play with, and a place where they can be busy or left alone if they want! We stayed at Nanjicun Yanyu🏡, right outside the door is a vast expanse of salt fields, with ponds and grass, a private rooftop and yard, and the lobby even has a play kitchen toy set for kids🧸. Families with children can choose family rooms, and the small tents are also a favorite of the kids😍 The guesthouse also provides breakfast🍳. Although it’s simple farmhouse dishes, in Nanjicun where dining options are limited, having breakfast included is really thoughtful service❤️ 🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅🔅 Forgot to mention, when you come to Nanjicun, be sure to try the cat’s eye sea snail. I haven’t had it anywhere else; it’s probably a local specialty. It’s crispy and super delicious😋 Almost every stir-fry food stall has it!

Zhanjiang & Xuwen 3-Day, 2-Night In-Depth Tour | Chikan Old Street, Antarctic Village, and a Seaview Designer Apartment: Check-In Guide Zhanjiang has always been a popular getaway destination in Guangdong. My 3-Day, 2-Night itinerary included Zhanjiang's main city, accommodation in a seaview apartment, a stroll through Chikan Old Street, a chartered car ride to Xuwen's "Chinese Mainland Antarctic Village," a sea of ​​pineapples, and a return to downtown Zhanjiang for a relaxing break at Stone Dog Coffee and authentic Zhanjiang chicken! Compared to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Zhanjiang definitely has a slower-paced getaway feel, with a quintessential island vibe. 🌊 🛏️ Accommodation Highlight: Direct Ocean Views of Golden Sands Bay For this trip, I stayed at the "Guanhai·Designer Apartment (Zhanjiang Golden Sands Bay Scenic Area Branch)" on the 27th floor, Building B, Poly West Coast Garden, 8 Guangzhou Bay Avenue. The location is superb, within walking distance of Golden Sands Bay, Red-billed Gull Pier, and the seaside promenade. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the ocean, and the sunrise and sunset views are truly breathtaking! The duplex-style rooms are spacious, with generally good sanitation and amenities. The 24-hour front desk service is exceptionally attentive. Even minor issues like dampness were proactively addressed by the housekeepers, who were incredibly attentive. 🗓️ Recommended Itinerary Day 1: Zhanjiang City, Chikan Old Street On your first day in Zhanjiang, it's recommended to check into your apartment and drop off your luggage before taking a bus to Chikan Old Street. The old street is rich in culture, allowing you to stroll leisurely through the old buildings, take photos, and enjoy a leisurely stroll along the way. There are also snack shops along the way, perfect for a leisurely afternoon. Day 2: Xuwen: Sea of ​​Pineapples + Antarctic Village In the morning, it's recommended to book a chartered car or self-drive tour to explore Xuwen. Your first stop will be the "Sea of ​​Pineapples," a magnificent expanse of pineapple fields (even more spectacular during the pineapple season from April to August). Your second stop is definitely Antarctic Village in mainland China. Located in Jiaowei Township, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, it's open year-round and features unique photo spots like the cape and windmill fields, perfect for photo ops. If you're traveling with a large group, chartering a car is more convenient than taking the bus, especially since Xuwen is quite a distance from the main city. You might also want to try some local fresh-cut pineapples or pineapple drinks along the way to replenish your energy. Day 3: Relaxing Coffee in the City + a Zhanjiang Chicken Feast Before returning, enjoy the slow pace of life in Zhanjiang. We recommend visiting Shigou Coffee (a popular local cafe) for its signature hand-poured coffee in a comfortable setting. For lunch, make a reservation at "Sen Ji He Tian Fang" and savor the Zhanjiang chicken. The chicken is tender and springy, and the authentic white-cut chicken is a must-try, highly recommended by many locals! After your meal, stroll along the Jinsha Seaview Promenade to soak up the island atmosphere. 📍Practical Tips 1. Zhanjiang boasts convenient transportation. You can call Didi or ask your apartment manager for assistance with taxis to major attractions. 2. The apartment's floor-to-ceiling windows offer superb ocean views, but if you notice any dampness, please report it immediately; your manager can arrange for a dehumidifier. 3. Sneakers are comfortable for walking along Chikan Old Street. Snack shops specialize in tofu pudding, fish balls, and more. 4. The pineapple fields are best visited in the morning or evening, so avoid the midday heat and remember to apply sunscreen. 5. Antarctic Village is open year-round, but the wind can be strong at the beach, so bring a hat or jacket. Zhanjiang's slow pace and ocean views, combined with Xuwen's diverse rural scenery, made this three-day trip incredibly relaxing. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Zhanjiang's local coffee and food. I'd love to stay longer and explore more next time! #ZhanjiangTravel #AntarcticVillageCheckIn #GoldenShawanSeaview #ZhanjiangFood #GuangdongNicheVacation
