Attraction reviews：

Nanji Village, located in Xuwen, Guangdong, is the southernmost point of mainland China, directly opposite Hainan Island. The attractions are free, and accommodation is convenient. Guesthouses offer free electric scooters, and the southernmost lighthouse is just 4 kilometers away. This area also marks the confluence of the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf, creating a "cross tide" or "kissing tide" at high tide. ☺ It was also featured on CCTV's "Home Amidst Mountains and Rivers" program, and Sa Beining visited here. I specifically checked which guesthouse he stayed at 🤣, just to catch a glimpse of his celebrity!
