The city bordering Vietnam in Guangxi | Fangchenggang
There is a city in Guangxi, one of the two cities in China that are both coastal and bordering, which used to be under the jurisdiction of Zhanjiang, Guangdong, and borders Vietnam. It is closer to Mang Street in Vietnam than to the capital of Guangxi, Nanning.
This city is called Fangchenggang, located in the south of Guangxi, is a coastal city, borders Vietnam, and is the only city in China connected to the ASEAN sea, land and river.
Fangchenggang was part of the Baiyue land in the pre-Qin period, under the jurisdiction of Xiangjun during the Qin Dynasty, belonged to the Nanyue Kingdom in the early Western Han Dynasty, belonged to the Wu Kingdom during the Three Kingdoms period, and was named Fangcheng in the fifth year of Kaibao in the Northern Song Dynasty because the local people built a city with wood and soil to defend against foreign invasions.
Fangchenggang City is named after the port, built by the port, first the port and then the city. In 1959, Dongxing County was once under the jurisdiction of Zhanjiang, Guangdong, and Fangchenggang City was established in 1993.
Fangchenggang City has jurisdiction over Gangkou District, Fangcheng District, Shangsi County, and Dongxing City. There are mountains, seas, hills, and tidal flats in the territory, with many scenic spots, making it a very suitable city for tourism.
The most famous scenic spot should be Dongxing Guomen Tourist Area, which borders Vietnam and can go to Vietnam from the land port, integrating tourism, sightseeing and shopping.
Dongxing Guomen was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 400 years. It is one of the busiest ports in China. Every day, countless Vietnamese come to Guangxi to do business, and countless Chinese go to Vietnam for sightseeing. Vietnamese can be seen everywhere on the street, and Vietnamese goods can be seen everywhere in shops.
In addition to the Dongxing port, there are also attractions such as the No. 5 Boundary Monument of the Qing Dynasty, Ho Chi Minh Pavilion, China-Vietnam Friendship Bridge, and China-Vietnam People's Friendship Park.
In addition to the Guomen Tourist Area, the Wanda Mountain Buto Hot Spring is also a very famous scenic spot in Fangchenggang. This place is surrounded by mountains on three sides and is located in a secluded valley. The spring water gushes out from the rock crevices, contains a variety of trace elements, and meets the standards of medical hot springs. Many locals and people from surrounding areas come here to soak in the hot springs.
Here, a hot spring is like the Huanglong Scenic Area in Sichuan, the Baishui Village in Yunnan, and the Cotton Castle in Turkey. The spring water flows from the mountain to the mountain, forming a multi-level waterfall-like landscape, with blue and white interlaced, very beautiful.
In addition to the Dongxing port, Fangchenggang has another place connected to Vietnam, which is the Beilun River source scenic area in Fangchenggang, which can be described as connected to the mountains and rivers of Vietnam, separated by the Beilun River. There are large areas of mangroves growing in the river, and the opposite bank of the river is Vietnam. There is also a boundary monument from the Qing Dynasty here.
Fangchenggang not only has Wanda Mountain, but also the sea. The bay here is also very beautiful. The more famous ones are Jing Island and West Bay.
Jing Island has three islands, namely Wutou Island, Wanwei Island, and Shanxin Island. This is the settlement of one of China's 56 ethnic groups, the Jing ethnic group, so it is also called the Jing Three Islands.
Surrounding the Jing Three Islands is a 13-kilometer-long beach. The sand is fine and golden, known as the 'Golden Beach'. Here you can see the ocean, beach, forest and crane group at the same time, and the tourism resources are quite unique.
The West Bay is a bay in the urban area of Fangchenggang. There are many high-rise buildings around, the sea water is clear and the beach is soft, and the pier is next to it, which is a rare urban beach.
Fangchenggang not only has many tourist attractions, but also a lot of seafood, which is fresh and cheap, and you must try it when you come here.
If friends in the north want to find a place to live, they don't necessarily have to go to Hainan. Guangxi is also very good, such as Fangchenggang. The winter temperature is between 19-25°, which is not cold or hot and very comfortable. Moreover, there are not many people here, the housing prices are cheap and the consumption is not high, which is very suitable for living and retirement.
Jiebei, Ho Chi Minh Pavilion, Guomen...Several iconic buildings are easy to find, the others are shopping, things are really cheap, but they can be bought online. Guomen stands on the bank of the Beilun River, solemn, and the five-star red flag is flying high and proclaiming sovereignty. The opposite side of the port is only 100 meters away from Mang Street, Vietnam, and the China-Vietnam Friendship Bridge connects the two countries. There is a border monument of Daqing Guo No. 5 by the river, and the middle of the monument is engraved with the words: "Qinzhou border of Daqing Guo". Now it is no longer a real border monument, standing on the border line has become a cultural relics. Because the prosperity of border trade brought the city to the bustling, every street, every building looks very new, and there is no trace of the ancient city. There are shops on both sides of the street, and there are many specialties. We strolled on the street, and there were endless pedestrians. Green canvas hats, pointed white hats... You can enjoy the culture and customs of exotic countries without going abroad. Of course, I prefer the streets in the morning, and there is no voice to give back the original appearance here.
At present, this is one of the main customs clearance ports for tourism to Vietnam. Dongxing Port is located in Dongxing City, Fangchenggang City, Guangxi, China. The corresponding port is the Mang Street Port in Vietnam, which is the main customs clearance place for tourism to Vietnam. The two countries are bounded by the Beilun River, and there is a China-Vietnam Friendship Bridge on the river, and there is a national boundary on the bridge. Standing on the border line can cross both countries at the same time.
To travel to Dongxing with my girlfriend, one place that must be seen is Dongxing Port. After all, it has been considered a foreign country after this. Although the port is not open now, it can be seen from the outside. The whole port is very well built. Compared with the opposite port, our port is more prosperous. Asked how the staff could go to the opposite side, the reply given by the staff was still here to stay.
The port is very clean, the small commodity street is worth visiting, understand the exotic style. Parking in the China-Vietnam Friendship Park is only 15 yuan a night.
Very lively place, the border between the two countries, the variety of goods is relatively rich, can not talk about exotic style, but also have a flavor.
This is the most Vietnamese place in Guangxi. It is a bit like the Chinese and British Street. One street is on the side of China and Vietnam.
After the epidemic, I went to Guangxi for a tour. I came to Dongxing for the second time and transferred to the port and several other attractions. I felt that because of the epidemic, there were not many people, and many shops were not open, which was relatively deserted.
