Hainan self-driving|Xuwen Beigang, a child and a cat glide across the sea

I took my 11-month-old baby 👧 and 2-year-old cat 🐱 back to my hometown Hainan for the New Year. We went through Xuwen North Port, where there was not much traffic jam and the sea was smooth. . We departed from Guangzhou at 9:30 in the morning and arrived at the port at 16:00 in the afternoon. The departure time was 17:15, and we boarded the ship not long after arriving. . The port we chose is Xuwen North Port (Yuehai Railway North Port Terminal⛵️), because this port is mainly responsible for the transportation of trains and trucks, the ships basically sail on time, and the crossing time is relatively short, about 1 hour and 20 minutes, which is more suitable for us to travel with our children. . But because it is an old port, the overall cabin infrastructure is average and the environment is relatively simple, giving the impression of a green train. But there are charging sockets, hot water, toilets, canteens and other facilities, which is still very convenient😃 . 🚢Xuwen Beigang Ferry Boarding Guide: ✅Buy tickets in advance on the official account "Railway Ferry"; ✅Entry process: The driver collects tickets with a mainland China ID card ➡️Vehicle security check ➡️Vehicle and passenger separation, the driver drives to queue up to board the ship, and the passengers take the mainland China ID card to the waiting hall to board the ship; ✅Arrival and departure: After the ship docks, the driver drives in the cargo hold, and the passengers get off the ship and wait for the vehicle in the passenger and vehicle meeting area; (PS: The oil price in Hainan is 1 yuan more expensive, you can fill up the oil in advance at the Leizhou service area) . 🐱Cat crossing the sea situation: ✅My cat followed me to swipe the mainland China ID card to board the ship, and needed to go through the security check together. There were no other requirements, and the whole process was very smooth. ✅The whole journey takes a long time, and the cat travels in an airline box that it is familiar with. After boarding the ship, it is placed in a quiet corner to avoid being frightened. ✅It is normal for cats not to eat cat food or go to the toilet during the journey. If tension or discomfort occurs, comfort them promptly. . The wind on the ship is quite strong, so you need to put an extra piece of clothing on your baby to prevent him from catching a cold. We boarded the ship at dusk, and took our baby to the deck outside the cabin to enjoy a beautiful sunset over the sea 🌞, and took a few photos 📷, all of which were very photogenic~

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
