Zhanjiang is back, and it's not what I imagined
Guys, I was really surprised by my trip to Zhanjiang this time 😎! I want to share my travel experience with you~
1. Location and transportation
I chose to take the high-speed train 🚄 to Zhanjiang this time. After arriving at Zhanjiang West Railway Station, I saw the bus stop right after I left the station. There are many buses that go directly to the city center. I took a special line bus and went directly to the hotel in Xiashan, which was very convenient. Of course, you can also take a taxi, which is also reasonably priced.
2. Travel itinerary
Day 1️⃣: Xiashan Seaside Promenade - Seaside Park - French Consulate of Guangzhou Bay
I arrived at Xiashan in the morning and went to the Seaside Promenade first. I took a walk along the seaside, and the sea breeze was very comfortable. Then I went to Seaside Park, where there are many amusement facilities and you can also see the sea. In the afternoon, I went to the French Consulate of Guangzhou Bay, where the buildings are very unique and perfect for taking photos 📸.
Day 2️⃣: Huguangyan - Jinlu Park
I took a bus to Huguangyan in the morning. The scenery of Huguangyan is really beautiful, and the lake is crystal clear. I took a walk by the lake and breathed in the fresh air, which made me feel relaxed. In the afternoon, I went to Jinlu Park, where there are many lovely sika deer, and you can buy carrots to feed them 🥕.
Day 3️⃣: Chikan Old Street - Jinshawan Seaside Promenade
I went to Chikan Old Street in the morning, where there are many retro buildings and alleys full of life. I had some local snacks on the old street at noon, which were very delicious 👍. In the afternoon, I went to Jinshawan Seaside Promenade, where the beach is very clean and you can see many people flying kites by the sea 🪁.
