I recommend renting a car in Fangchenggang as the attractions are far apart. However, these restaurants are close to each other and have free parking.

🚗Navigation: Fangchenggang Wangzhou Peak
2 hours and 40 minutes drive from Beihai
(If you want to see the sunrise, it is recommended to travel with friends or in a group)
🎫Scenic Area Parking: 💰CNY 20 (no entrance ticket)
➡️Drive to Parking Lot 2. We chose Route 1️⃣ to climb up the mountain, which took more than an hour to reach the top (relatively steep and challenging, very slippery on rainy days, easy to fall), and Route 2️⃣ to go down the mountain (relatively flat, better scenery).
➡️The whole journey took more than 4 hours, including walking, stopping, and taking photos. The weather was really good, with cotton candy-like clouds, blue sky, vast green meadows, rolling mountains, cows grazing in the distance, and running freely on the grassland. This picture is like a dream of Altay🏞️.
❗️Equipment: quick-drying clothes, trekking poles, umbrella, sun hat, hiking shoes, ice sleeves, cooling patches, tissues, mosquito repellent, plenty of water, and snacks to replenish energy (❗️There is no food or restroom on the mountain).
♥️☀️This time we climbed at night and didn't see the sunrise, so we may have to go and lower the altitude of Wangzhou Peak again🤫.
[Vienna Hotel Guangxi Fangcheng Branch] - Your home away from home.

✅Price💰
I am a platinum member, and the price is about 150 with two breakfasts. Members can also accumulate points for each stay, and points can be directly exchanged for room upgrades! 🎁🎉
✅Service👍
I must give a thumbs up to the hotel staff. It is rare to have such a good service attitude in a tourist city. With a bright smile, I felt the enthusiasm of the front desk staff as soon as I entered the door. They also poured us tea (not only special tea drinks but also Vietnamese freshly ground coffee, all for free!), and planned a travel route for us. I was in a hurry and forgot to bring facial cleanser, but the front desk has a treasure chest with skincare products, sunscreen, conditioner, and other daily necessities to meet different needs. They are simply angels on earth. 👼🏻
✅Room🏠
There were plenty of rooms that day. As a platinum member of Jinjiang Club, the front desk staff upgraded me to a YUMENG King Room for free. The zero-pressure comfortable latex mattress imported from Thailand allows the tired body and mind to be extremely relaxed and relieved. 😌 There is also a laundry room on the 5th floor, which is suitable for lazy people like me. 😄
✅Breakfast🍽️
I was too tired from the journey the day before, so I couldn't get up to eat the hotel's breakfast. But when I checked out, I heard a guest next to me say that the breakfast was varied and nutritious. I must try it next time!
⭐In general, this stay gave me a different surprise. Whether it is a business trip or travel, it is the best choice for the journey!

🏠 Although it became popular due to its bubble house and tent sea view, the best and most comfortable room type is the independent courtyard.

The glass outside is full of foxtail grass, which is particularly beautiful.
🏃🏃♀️ There is a coastal trail next to the homestay. If you like running, you can run all the way to the rocky beach to watch the sunset. Of course, if you don't want to run, you can drive there, only 2.8km.

By the way, when the tide is low, black reefs are exposed. I saw someone going down to catch crabs 🦀️, and some girls took fireworks to take photos 📷
Guanxi Fangchenggang Guaishi Beach | The joy of fishing at sea is beyond your imagination.
Guai Shi Beach is located on the coastline of Fangchenggang, Guangxi, under the Dengjia Ridge of Jiangshan Peninsula. Due to the long-term erosion of rocks by sea waves, a sea-eroded landform has been formed. The stones are strange and mostly reddish-brown, forming a natural group of stone carvings. The beach here has beautiful scenery, making it a paradise for photography enthusiasts and a great place to experience fishing at sea.
‼️Key points: Among the beaches in Beibu Gulf, I personally feel that this place has the most abundant fish catch!
🐟Sea fishing experience
The most exciting activity in Guai Shi Beach is fishing at sea. You can rent a fishing boat, which costs around RMB 300 to 400, and can accommodate 4 to 10 people. Under the guidance of the captain, you can personally participate in the process of casting and retrieving the net, and experience the life of a fisherman. All the seafood you catch belongs to you, and you can take it back to Fangchenggang for processing at a restaurant, or let the owner of a nearby seafood restaurant process it for you, and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

| Baisha Bay - Super Sunset. 🌈🌈🌈 Explore the Baisha Bay in Fangchenggang - a small and pure beach paradise
In the embrace of Fangchenggang, Guangxi, there is a hidden semi-developed treasure land - Baisha Bay. Here, there are few people and beautiful scenery. The sea is like a mirror, clear and bottomless. The soft white sand and the rugged reefs are intertwined into a unique landscape. Baisha Bay is undoubtedly a paradise for photography enthusiasts, and every frame is a blockbuster texture without filters. 🌄🌄🌄
It is cleverly located between Bailang Beach and Guai Shi Beach. It only takes a short 15-minute drive to get away from the hustle and bustle and embrace this quiet bay.
🚌🚌🚌 Self-driving or online car-hailing are convenient choices. If you are not afraid of sun exposure, you can also ride a Hello bike and shuttle between the sea breeze and the sun. The parking fee is affordable. If you make good use of the surrounding construction sites, you can enjoy free parking.
When you arrive, remember to avoid the slightly messy beach entrance, drive directly to the end, park your car near the construction site, and walk a few steps to enter this dreamland.
🌈 On the left is a colorful runway, adding a bit of vitality to the beach;
🏭 On the right, the lighthouse stands tall, guiding the direction of the lost, and in front of you is the long-awaited white sandy beach.
Here, you can stroll among the reefs and look for the gifts of nature - colorful shells; you can set up a tent and enjoy a walk-away camping trip; you can also rent a barbecue grill on the beach and share food with family and friends. Happy time. But please remember to travel environmentally friendly, take away every piece of garbage, and protect this pure beach. 💜💜💜
Baisha Bay, although beautiful, hides a gentle danger. Under the delicate beach, the sea is deep and unpredictable, so don't swim far and deep. The evening is the best time to visit. At this time, the light is soft, the sea breeze is light, and the pink sunset dyes the sky into a gentle color. Although there is no sunset to enjoy, this tranquility and beauty is enough to make people intoxicated. 🌇🌇🌇

Wangzhou Peak | The landscapes of Guangxi are always trustworthy | Absolutely stunning
| The landscapes of Guangxi are always trustworthy | Absolutely stunning. 🤩 Dear friends, no need to join a tour group, hiking Wangzhou Peak on your own is really amazing! Look for the stone boat 🚢 photo spot, it's a must-visit point when climbing Wangzhou Peak.
🎈 The moment you reach the top, it's simply breathtaking! The reputation of Guangxi's Xiao Chuanxi is well-deserved, the scenery is so healing. However, it rained early this morning, making the mountain path a bit slippery, and the top was windy and foggy.
👀 Here's the guide:
🚗【Transportation】
Drive directly to Wangzhou Peak Parking Lot No. 1 🅿️, but it's more recommended to park at Parking Lot No. 2, the parking fee is only 20 yuan!
🧗♂️【Hiking】
Start hiking from Parking Lot No. 2 with a 'special forces' mindset. It's strongly recommended to go up Line 1 and down Line 2, this way you can enjoy different sceneries. Today, due to heavy fog, we didn't take Line 2, which is a bit regretful.
👔【Gear】
Men can dress casually, short sleeves or long sleeves are fine. If girls want to take photos, various camisoles are recommended, and it's advisable to bring an extra piece of clothing for changing, as your clothes will get soaked several times by the time you reach the bottom. It's best to wear a sun-protective shirt or long sleeves, as it can be a bit chilly at the top.
👖【Pants】
Outdoor hiking pants or quick-dry pants are the best choices, preferably in dark colors.
🥾【Outdoor Shoes】
Shoes must be non-slip and durable, hiking boots are the best choice.
❗ Key point: Remember to bring trekking poles, preferably two. They will be your great helpers when descending.
🍫【Food】
You can carry some chocolate and light snacks, not too much, traveling light is the best haha. You can bring a bottle of water in your bag, there are 2-3 small shops on the mountain where you can buy water, but today by 10 am, no stalls were open, so it's better to bring a bottle of mineral water yourself.
⚠️ Note: There are villagers on the mountain who provide garbage bags for everyone, please consciously throw your garbage in the designated places to protect the environment!
🌟 Climbing Wangzhou Peak, the photo spot is the stone boat, take your time to find it. There is a small shop at the top, then slowly walk down to the right. Be careful when taking photos on the stone boat, it can be a bit steep. Today, the wind was very strong while taking photos, it felt like I was about to be blown away. For those who exercise regularly, climbing this small Wangzhou Peak is definitely manageable. For those who don't exercise often, going up is easy, but your legs might feel wobbly when descending. You can walk a bit and rest before continuing.
Guide to Avoiding Pitfalls on a One-Day Tour of Dongxing, a Border Town
Before going, I thought I had read enough guides, but I still fell into a few traps... (Summarized some points that other bloggers rarely mention 😭)
-
Dongxing is located in Fangchenggang City, Guangxi, right across from Mong Cai, Vietnam, so there are many things with a 🇻🇳 flavor~ There are also Vietnamese people doing small businesses here.
⭐Main Check-in Points:
1. Dongxing National Gate Scenic Area
2. Beilun River, the border river between China and Vietnam
3. The No. 5 Boundary Marker of the Qing Dynasty
4. China-Vietnam Beilun River Bridge
5. China-Vietnam People's Friendship Park, Ho Chi Minh Pavilion, China-Vietnam People's Revolutionary Martyrs Monument
6. Vietnam Style Street
7. Saigon Coffee
-
⚠️Food & Pitfall Points:
1. Vietnamese Chicken Noodles (Hua Jie and San Jie seem to be good), but note that most noodle shops may close at 5 PM. Not sure if it's better during holidays, but it's recommended to eat early 😭😭😭
2. Street-side balut (I personally can't accept it)
3. Street-side coconuts 🥥 cost about five or six yuan each, sweet and recommended
4. Street-side French bread, about ten yuan for five or six pieces, not expensive, you can try some (the coconut-flavored ones are better than the plain ones)
6. Vietnamese snacks: instant noodles, yogurt, all around one or two yuan, worth a try.
8. Street-side spring rolls/fried bananas/fried shrimp cakes are recommended to buy from Vietnamese vendors, their prices are cheaper than local vendors (but they also leave around five or six PM)
9. Saigon Coffee, we didn't have time to drink it, just took a few photos and left in a hurry.
-
🔷Dongxing is not big, the attractions are connected, walking + sharing is completely OK for a one-day tour, with a per capita cost of one or two hundred yuan.
🔷Recommended to combine with Fangchenggang Jintan Beach or Mong Cai, Vietnam for a trip.
🍎iPhones will automatically adjust the time difference, one hour behind
❗Although Vietnamese snacks are cheap, it is recommended not to buy their 🚬, they may be fake.
White Wave Beach | A clean beach, perfect for family trips
🌞【Complete Guide to Family Beach Trips】In the scorching summer, take your kids and let's go to the beach to enjoy a refreshing sea bath!
🏖 Accommodation: Choose a seaside homestay, convenient for kids to play in the water anytime, and adults can also easily enjoy the leisure time by the sea. Although the prices are high during the summer vacation, we found some cost-effective accommodations, such as the Haizhonglou Hotel at Wanwei Golden Beach. It opened not long ago, is clean and comfortable, and costs only 250 yuan per night, offering great value for money!
🌊 Water Activities: White Wave Beach is a great place for kids to play. In the afternoon, the tide slowly rises, the beach is wide, and the surfing experience is excellent with clear water. In contrast, at Wanwei Golden Beach, the tide rises to the shore in the afternoon, reducing the beach area and possibly leaving some trash.
🦐 Seafood Delicacies: Seafood prices vary by season. Currently, the sea is not open, so prices are slightly higher. At White Wave Beach, we can go to Huilong Market to buy fresh seafood. Although the prices are high, the taste is worth it. The processing fee is calculated by weight, 15 yuan per jin, to enjoy a delicious seafood feast. The seafood prices at Nongmao Market near Wanwei Golden Beach are more affordable, with many surprises. The processing fees are slightly higher but definitely worth a try.
🏡 Homestay Choices: During the summer vacation, the prices of seaside accommodations rise, but the Haizhonglou Hotel at Wanwei Golden Beach left a deep impression on us. It is newly opened, clean, comfortable, and reasonably priced.
🌅 Tidal Pool Experience: Although the tidal pool plan at White Wave Beach was not realized, we woke up at 5:30 in the morning to try tidal pooling at Wanwei Golden Beach. Although we didn't harvest anything, it was an unforgettable experience.
🚣♂ Other Activity Recommendations: Besides the beach, we also took the kids to Wildman Valley for rafting. The rafting here is gentle, suitable for the whole family, and we want to come back every year. Dongxing Port was also one of our destinations. Across the border is Vietnam, where we bought many Vietnamese specialties such as snacks, coffee, and ointments, returning with a full load.
This summer, let's take the kids, enjoy the coolness of the seaside, experience different activities, and create beautiful memories!🏝👨👩👧👦🍹
Only after regretting did I realize the essence of Fangchenggang is here
🎈Guangxi not only has mountains and rivers, but also endless beaches. On the beach, you can often see rows of spectacular white waves rolling in🌊
🏖️Bailang Beach is located in the northeast of Jiangshan Peninsula. The beach is about 2.8 kilometers wide and 8 kilometers long. It is wide and flat, with fine and soft sand. Bailang Beach is one of the rare 'black sand beaches' in the world because the sand is rich in titanium minerals, giving it a blackish hue. This black yet beautiful beach is a must-visit💘
🅿️Parking fee: 10💰/time
🕙Opening hours: All day
💰Ticket price: Free
🌟Highlights:
The beach is very vast🏖️
It took me a full 15 minutes to walk from the entrance of the beach to the seaside. The widest part of the beach is 2.8 kilometers, and it is 8 kilometers long. You can engage in various water sports and host various water activities here. It is indeed a very vast beach.
The sand is very fine🏝️
The beach here is not only vast, but the sand also feels great underfoot. When you stand still, you can feel the sand gently surrounding your feet, giving you a lazy feeling of 'sinking into gentleness.'
'Black Sand Beach' Titanium Sand Bath🌌
The sand here is blackish but also shines with white. This is because the sand at Bailang Beach is rich in titanium, making it one of the rare 'black sand beaches' in the world. Titanium is silver-gray, and its oxide, titanium dioxide, is extremely white. Therefore, digging a pit for a titanium sand bath at Bailang Beach is the simplest and most direct way to whiten your skin.
Discontinuous Waves🌊
Bailang Beach is named so because of the continuous waves. However, besides the white waves, I also noticed that the waves here are not continuous. Instead of a single continuous line, the waves break into numerous segments, advancing towards the shore in short, staggered sections, which is quite unique.
The seawater is relatively clear✨
The seawater at Bailang Beach appears very clear, which is a very intuitive feeling.
The cost is not expensive💰
As a popular tourist destination, the prices at Bailang Beach are not high and are considered normal for a scenic area.
Sunrise and sea of clouds, the romance of Wangzhou Peak awaits your encounter!!

Night Climb to Wangzhou Peak: Encounter the Stunning Fairyland of Fangchenggang
"Some sceneries can only be reached by foot." With a deep agreement to this saying, my colleagues and I embarked on a night climb to Wangzhou Peak in Fangchenggang, Guangxi.
We set off from and after a drive, we arrived at the foot of Wangzhou Peak. The mountain path at night was full of unknowns, but we were filled with anticipation.
The hiking route was sometimes steep and sometimes gentle, as if nature had set up a test for us. Initially, the sky was dotted with stars, but soon, a sudden downpour made our steps even more difficult.
However, just when we were almost defeated by exhaustion and rain, the rain miraculously stopped. What followed was the dazzling light of the sunrise, the dreamlike sea of clouds rolling in the mountains, and the unexpected appearance of a rainbow, like a reward from nature for our perseverance. At that moment, all the hardships turned into full joy and emotion.
The cost of this group tour was very reasonable, only 140 yuan per person, providing us with thoughtful service and protection. For friends with a certain hiking foundation, the difficulty of hiking Wangzhou Peak is acceptable, but adequate preparation is still necessary.
The night climb to Wangzhou Peak is not only a challenge to the body but also a baptism of the soul. Here, we felt the magic and greatness of nature. But while enjoying the beautiful scenery, please make sure to protect this beautiful land so that more people can appreciate its charm.
Location: Wangzhou Peak, Fangchenggang, Guangxi

Life Advice|You must visit Fangchenggang to see the sea (with guide)
Every year, I go to Fangchenggang to enjoy the sea breeze, watch the sunset over the sea, and experience the unique romance of the seaside.
🚗Transportation: Fangchenggang is more suitable for self-driving, as some attractions are not very convenient to reach by public transport. It takes about 2 hours to drive from Nanning.
Day 1 - Morning: 📍Dongxing City Walk👣, experience Vietnamese style.
📍Saigon Coffee Check-in Point, suitable for taking photos, fewer people, and great for pictures.
☕️Special coffee recommendation - Egg Coffee (the name sounds weird, but it has a unique flavor). Stroll around the China-Vietnam Trade Mall, pick up some small items for photos, Vietnamese specialties, and many Jing ethnic costumes, which you can try if interested.
🍽Food Recommendations: 1️⃣Three Sisters Grilled Meat Noodles (many recommend Hua Jie, but I haven't tried it) 2️⃣Impression Nha Trang Vietnamese Restaurant, recommended dishes: Lemongrass Grilled Chicken, Pineapple Seafood Fried Rice, Vietnamese Charcoal Grilled Pork Neck, Southern Vietnamese Cocoa Shrimp, Hanoi Seafood Mekong Fish.
Afternoon: Drive to Wanwei Golden Beach. The beach is gentle, suitable for kids to play in the water. When we went, the tide was high, so we didn't go into the sea. Head straight to Wanwei Farmers Market to buy seafood. Seafood processing recommendation - Xia Jie Processing.
Day 2 - Morning: 🏖️Bailang Beach. Black sand and white waves, the sand is very fine, but because it is black, the sea looks dirty. However, this beach is more developed, swimming is safer, and it is also suitable for kids.
Nearby food recommendation: Lao Dai's Seafood Restaurant.
After eating, check out Baisha Bay, Bailong Ancient Fort, and Strange Rock Beach. It was too hot, so we didn't stay long.
Afternoon: 📍Qisha Town.
Route: Jiulongzhai Most Beautiful Road - Leshan Ancient Fishing Village - Seafood Market.
The timing in the afternoon was just right, we encountered the high tide, and the most beautiful sea road lived up to its name. Accompany the kids to play in the water, and for those interested in catching crabs, there are many sand crabs to catch here.
The sunset in Leshan Ancient Fishing Village really amazed me‼️
🏨Accommodation recommendation: For those who like homestays, recommend Haijiao No. 7 Homestay in the ancient fishing village|For those who prefer hotels, stay in Qisha Town, Yishang Hotel, Hebo Hotel.
🦀Seafood processing: Go to Qisha Market to buy seafood and find a restaurant to process it. I chose Wanghailou Food Stall. The lobster preparation really amazed me‼️
Day 3 - Morning: 📍Qisha Town Paradise Corner Beach.
Very niche, very few people, the water is very clear, and the sand is very fine. But it is a wild beach, not recommended for swimming⚠️. It can satisfy kids playing in the water and digging sand. Personally, I think the water quality is much better than Bailang Beach and Golden Beach.
Small tips: There is a free parking lot outside. But because it was hot, we chose the parking lot with a sunshade inside, which costs 20 .
✍️In conclusion: Hearing is not as good as experiencing, longing is not as good as setting off🛫
