Zhanjiang Travel Guide

Brief introduction

Zhangjiang, a beautiful coastal city in Guangdong Province, was known as Kwangchowan or Guangzhou Bay before 1974. As one of the first 14 coastal cities open to the outside world in 1984, Zhanjiang is an important base for the oil prospecting in South China Sea and for the burgeoning deep-sea fishing industry. Zhanjiang is also important in connecting China mainland and Hainan, the southernmost province in China.

Located in the southwestern part of Guangdong Province, Zhanjiang City covers Leizhou Peninsular and the area to the north. It borders on South China Sea to the east, faces Hainan Province across Qiongzhou Straits and is close to Beibu Bay (A semi-enclosed sea surrounded by territories of China and Vietnam) to the west. Zhanjiang Port is an important state-level deepwater port with more than 20 small and medium-sized matching ports around Leizhou Peninsular.
