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!

South Pole Village

佳小姐的环球旅行
The southernmost tip of the mainland, this place is worth checking in. It is recommended to go in the morning to see the blue sea and blue sky, and the invincible glass sea. The tide starts to ebb in the afternoon, and it is backlit, so you can't see the blue sea. The coffee under the tree next to it is the best check-in point, the best viewing point for sunrise and sunset. It is recommended to stay for a day, especially suitable for traveling with the whole family. The scenic area is a free attraction. Cars can be parked on the roadside on holidays. There are simple food nearby, mainly snacks.

The Sea of Pineapple

D了个Y
For Chinese pineapples, look to Guangdong. For Guangdong pineapples, look to Xuwen. Xuwen County is the largest pineapple producing area in China, with a planting area of ​​about 350,000 mu and an annual harvest of more than 700,000 tons, accounting for 40% of the country's pineapple production. |The Sea of ​​Pineapples^ is an outstanding representative of this, integrating new tourism concepts. It is a great place to get close to nature and walk into pineapples. There are many pineapple products here. Pineapple dried pineapples, pineapple slices, pineapple juice and even whole pineapples are must-have specialties. The whole box is also free shipping. The price is really cheap.

Dengloujiao is indeed famous, and the natural scenery is also beautiful! It's just that it's under renovation everywhere, and it feels like there are few parking spaces in the scenic area! The roads are crowded! It should be more beautiful if it is well built and managed!

Xuwen Ancient Port

小龙女SMXY
Xuwen Port, namely the site of the ancient Xuwen Port, is located in Erqiao, Nanwan and Shiwei Village in Wuli Township, southwest of Xuwen County. Since the 1960s, a large number of Han tombs have been discovered in villages and fields along the southwest coast of Xuwen, mainly in Huafengling, Dahuang Township, and a large number of pottery, steelware and beads have been unearthed. According to the "Book of Han", Xuwen Port is the starting port of the "Silk Road" on the sea. In recent years, a large number of archaeological works have confirmed that Xuwen County, Zhanjiang is the location of Xuwen Port. Chinese name Xuwen Port Geographic location Wuli Township, southwest of Xuwen County Surrounding attractions Yingdao Lianbi, Shiwei Mangrove, etc. Relics discovery time November 1993 Geographic location Archaeological discovery Natural landscape map information TA said Geographic location In November 1993, experts from the Guangdong Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics and Archaeology discovered a large range of Han Dynasty living sites in Erqiao and Shiwei Village, Wuli Township, Xuwen County through large-scale exploration, thus proving that this is the location of Xuwen County in the Han Dynasty and the site of Xuwen Port. Archaeological discoveries ① The Han Dynasty ancient port living site area is located in the middle and eastern part of Erqiao and Nanwan Village to the north of Shiwei Village, with a strip distribution and an area of ​​about 50,000 square meters. The ruins of the Han Xuwen Castle Wall: Located on the cliff of the high platform in the west of Erqiao Village, Wuli Township, facing Gangtou Bay, with a drop of about ten meters, a total length of more than 500 meters, and a surface area of ​​more than 200,000 square meters. Various Han pottery and tile fragments are scattered on the surface, and obvious rammed earth layers of mud, sand and stone are found on the cliff. Bagua navigation lamp holder: Located on the high cliff of Shiwei Ridge in the north of Shiwei Village, Wuli Township, less than 10 meters from the bay. The seat is carved from a natural boulder, octagonal, 2 meters in diameter and 40 centimeters deep. The octagonal corners are decorated with Bagua patterns. It is a typical navigation lamp holder of the Han and Tang Dynasties. ② The Han Dynasty burial area is located in the back Donggang Ridge of Erqiao Nanwan Village to Nagan Village, mainly single-chamber vaulted tombs and earth pit tombs. Natural landscape ① Yingdao Lianbi: Sandun, formed by three islands in a row on the sea, was called "Xiaolianshan" in ancient times and is one of the eight scenic spots in Zhanjiang. The three small islands form a natural barrier for the ancient port. There are freshwater wells on the islands. The "Xuwen County Chronicles" in the third year of Xuantong in the Qing Dynasty recorded: "There are three piers in front of the sea, and there is a freshwater well called Longquan in the middle. When praying for rain during drought, take a spoonful of water from this well, and sweet rain will come immediately." ② Shiwei Mangrove: Along the Nanshan to Shiwei Weir, the area is more than 1,000 acres, shaded by green trees, and flocks of seabirds. It is famous for producing "Ganxie Eel", "Ganxie Crab", "Sweet Snail" and "Red Minnow". ③ Nanshan Coconut Grove: In Nanshanxia Village, the area is about 20,000 square meters, with coconut breeze and sea rhyme, chicken sounds and thatched houses, and a unique coastal fishing village style. Transportation: Take a bus from Zhanjiang Bus Terminal to Xuwen County, and then transfer or charter a car to go there. Map Information Address: 400 meters northeast of Dahan Sandun Tourist Area, Nanshan Town, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province

Xuwen Coral Reef Nature Reserve

木易真人
Xuwen Coral Reef National Reserve is located in Jiaowei Township, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang. There is a coral museum and a coral hall here. The entrance fee to the reserve is 30 yuan. Various coral specimens are exhibited in the museum, which is very beautiful; there are several large sea turtles swimming in the large pool in the coral hall, and live corals are kept in the large fish tank. On the day we went there, there was no electricity and no oxygen could be added, so the live corals were all in a dormant state. There are wooden planks and small pavilions on the seaside of the reserve. The white lighthouse, golden beach, blue sky, and floating white clouds are really refreshing. Sitting in a small pavilion by the sea and drinking tea in a daze should be a good way to relax. There is a tourist center in Jiaowei Township, but it is not open. There are many homestays and fishing houses in the village. The conditions look good and it seems that there are tourists staying. You can consider staying here for a few days next time. Because the ecological environment of corals is very fragile, the country currently does not allow tourists to go to the sea to see corals from a protection perspective. Locals say that you can rent fishermen's small fishing boats to go to the sea to see corals at low tide, about 200 yuan per boat. The state has regulations, and citizens should abide by them. It is better not to go and disturb the peaceful life of corals. There are many coral fragments washed up by the waves on the beach. Friends who like it can pick them up on the beach to appreciate.

The beauty of Xuwen lies in its greenness. Elegant environment is the criterion for judging the quality of greening construction projects. The blue sea water of Xuwen is the best explanation of environmental governance. A green home is the hard truth.

- Architectural Aesthetics Exploration: Starting from the Zhongshan Road Archway, stroll along the 400-meter core street and admire the 176 arcades, each featuring a blend of Chinese and Western styles and colored porcelain reliefs. Look for distinctive elements like phoenix-carved windows and Baroque arched doors, and head to the third-floor terrace of Shangnan Hall at the entrance of Shuixiangkou for a panoramic view of the street.

This time, the southernmost part of the mainland is also considered to be successful. Mother has seen the documentary of home in the distance, and she is very happy to walk along the beach here by herself this time. On the other side of the sea is Hainan, our next stop.

This is a well-worth-visiting place. The entire geological park isn't particularly large, and the mountains aren't too high, making it easy to explore. The park also has a science museum that explains volcanoes, which the children loved. Over the past tens of thousands of years, the volcanoes here have been covered by vegetation, creating a tropical botanical garden that stands in stark contrast to the volcanoes in Ulanqab. From the Haikou vantage point, you can see the Qiongzhou Strait, which is a truly stunning sight.
