Highlights - Beautiful scenery, renting a bike for exploring, Lengyan temple, the sea watching tower. Rating - 5/5, outstanding place. Admission - 70¥ (10$) per person Instagram - maestrox___ When you visit Zhanjiang city on the very west of Guangdong province, you don't know what you can expect, you can't find a lot of useful information on the internet about what kind of attractions you can see in this beautiful and I would like to say a little bit underrated city in Guangdong province. But what you can find is some amazing natural gems. I explored Global Geopark which is a member of a big UNESCO organization, so that's saying a lot about this place. First, the park is built on the maar volcanic landforms and includes geological relics such as coastal landforms and structural geological landforms. The park's main attraction is Huguang Yan Lake, a typical maar lake in China and one of the best-preserved crater lakes in China and the world. The sediment at the lake's bottom has witnessed changes in climate and environment over the last 100,000 years. The park has a long history dating back to the Sui Dynasty (581-618) when Buddhist monks built some ancient temples such as the Lengyan Temple and Baiyi Nunnery. So, if you visiting Zhanjiang, I recommend you to visit this remarkable place. The best when to explore renting some of the vehicles can be single bicycles, bicycles for two, or electric vehicles. Also here you can find restaurants that offer delicious chicken which is one of Zhanjiang's food specialties.

Xiashan Catholic Church is one the highlights you you get to see while strolling along the seashore park in Zhanjiang. It’s located in Xiashan French Road, you’d be able to walk around and see some French historic buildings. The place is peaceful but so alive during the night. I’m always enamored whenever I see fine architectures such as this Church, you can really feel a French vibe along the road. One must not forget to visit this place. It’s definitely awesome. Indeed, I had a wonderful time exploring Zhanjiang. How to get here: If you’re in Guangshou or Foshan: 🚉 by subway: 3.5 hours from GZ South Railway to Zhanjiang West Railway 🚗by car: 6-7 hours from GZ South #newyearadventure

Try China’s beaches in the South. There are hidden gems yet to explore and discover in this place. This year I get to visit Zhanjiang. It is just located right in the heart of the city.

For an entire day, you get to explore The Seashore Park, Jinshawan Beach (closest to Wanda Plaza) Sea viewing promenade, French Road, Xiashan Catholic Church, and a whole lot more. Also, one must not forget to try the fresh seafoods especially oystersssss, yum! :)) This has been an amazing year since everyone’s traveling these days with ease. Seriously, I get to see people’s happy and exciting faces! Indeed a happy new year! 😉 How to get here: If you’re in GZ or Foshan: 🚊Guangzhou South Railway (it takes 2-3 hours) to Zhanjiang West Railway. 🚗: 5-6 hours #yearofrabbit

Seafood is as good as Zhanjiang chicken. There are many good foods in the motherland, and there is a lot of delicious food. White-cut chicken belongs to the most common kind of Cantonese cuisine. It belongs to the dip chicken. It is simple in making, fresh and not rotten, without adding ingredients and maintaining the original flavor. No chicken is not a feast.

It is the first dish of Zhanjiang people's festival plus food dyeing. Zhanjiang is a marine city. Because it relies on mountains to eat mountains and eat sea by the sea, Zhanjiang's seafood varieties are too numerous to count.

Zhanjiang is also an ideal place for people to taste seafood and buy seafood. There is a saying that to eat seafood to Zhanjiang. Taste Zhanjiang seafood to taste the sea fish.

It is a heart-shaped lake formed by the evaporation of water from the magma during the eruption of the volcano, known as the Malang Lake. There are only two lakes in the world, and Malang Lake in Zhanjiang is the largest in the world. But do you know why goldfish are actually raised in the lakes of Huguangyan?

"Naozhou Island" Zhanjiang volcanic rock island "Naozhou Island" Zhanjiang volcanic rock island An island town surrounded by the sea and supporting 70,000 people. It is hard to imagine that in the first year of Xiangxing in the Southern Song Dynasty (1278), the last emperor Zhao Bing brought tens of thousands of his subjects to this island formed by the eruption of an underwater volcano in order to escape the pursuit of Yuan soldiers. Only the little emperor had a horse, while the rest of the palace ladies, generals and soldiers had to walk. It takes a long time to drive to Songhuang Village after reaching the island. In that era, you had to travel through mountains and rivers and hide from pursuers. Those who finally managed to settle here alive were already winners. 💕What is impressive is that this largest natural crystal lighthouse during the colonial period, a century later, is still working diligently. In its rotating halo, you seem to be able to see the era of smoke and black ships sailing. Each scene tells people that they should not forget the spirit and energy that has never disappeared from the Southern Song Dynasty to today. 📍Tianchengtai Tourism Resort, Wushi Town, Leizhou City, Zhanjiang: ¥10/person Open for swimming all day 🌟Warm Tips: 1. When there are not many people, you can drive your car under the lighthouse and feel the feeling of being surrounded by the sea, but be aware that it is dangerous to drive a car during high tide. 2. There are many local fishermen who catch fresh seafood at reasonable prices. You can buy them directly and have them processed in the store next door. 3. Recommended to try: Fresh coconut on the beach for ¥10 each, really big and very satisfying with the water, and you can also help dig out the coconut meat to eat.

| A Dreamlike Volcanic Island Paradise. Hey everyone, I have to share this amazing place with you today—Zhanjiang Naozhou Island🎉! There are so many reasons why you absolutely must visit💖. This is China's largest volcanic island🌋, formed by a volcanic eruption 200,000 years ago. The unique landscape features black reefs colliding with azure waves, creating a stunning "ice and fire" visual impact that is truly breathtaking🤩! It's also a free photo paradise, with volcanic rock coasts, hidden corners, and red and white lighthouses offering endless Instagram-worthy opportunities📷! It's also a seafood lover's dream, with fresh fish at the pier's morning market for just ¥5 per 500g, and freshly caught and grilled oysters to satisfy your cravings🦪! 📌Recommended Itinerary: Morning: - Volcanic Rock Coast (Must-see!): The black reefs and white waves intertwine, creating a dramatic backdrop. Wear a solid-colored long dress, stand on the reefs, and use a wide-angle lens for an epic, end-of-the-world vibe😎! At low tide (8:30 - 10:00 am🕙), the rock crevices are teeming with small fish and crabs, so bring a bucket and experience the joy of tide pooling. - Naozhou Lighthouse (World-class Landmark): This lighthouse is as famous as those in London and the Cape of Good Hope! If you can climb the tower (if open) and overlook the entire island, the view will be spectacular! (10:30 - 11:30 am🕙) For lunch, head to the pier's seafood stalls or try a fisherman's family feast🥘. Afternoon: - Nayan Haishi Beach: The sand is as fine as salt, and the black volcanic rocks form a "U"-shaped bay. Walking barefoot in the water is incredibly therapeutic🥰! The small hill at the end of the beach is a hidden gem, perfect for aerial shots of the volcanic rocks and waves📸. - Sea Turtle City (Adorable Overload): For just ¥5 (including a free wax gourd), you can feed giant sea turtles that are over 500 years old and touch their shells for good luck🐢 (14:30 - 15:30 pm🕙). - Hidden Corner Photo Spot: Check in at the same pier and red and white lighthouse reef area featured in the TV series *The Bad Kids*. The evening light and shadows are absolutely stunning, creating a cinematic feel🎬. Evening: Watch the fishing boats return to Cunliangwan Pier as the sunset paints the sea surface a fiery red—a truly speechless moment🌅. 📸Photo Guide: - Volcanic Rock Silhouettes: Stand on the black reefs and capture the crashing waves for a dramatic effect🌊. - Lighthouse Low-Angle Shot: Use a wide-angle lens to capture the tower and the sky for a grand perspective🗼. - Sea Turtle Interaction: Take a top-down shot of the moment you feed the turtles wax gourd.

Fishermen can even pack and mail them for you on the spot🐟. - Night Market BBQ Stalls: Grilled oysters, sandworm porridge, and iced coconut juice—a perfect combination🥤. - Grandma's Dessert Shop: Try the handmade mung bean paste in the alleyway. It's delicious🥧. 📌Practical Tips: - Transportation: A taxi from downtown Zhanjiang to Southeast Pier costs about ¥70. From there, a 20-minute ferry ride will take you to the island (last ferry at 6:00 pm)🚢. - Island Transportation: Rent an electric scooter for ¥50 per day to explore the island freely and stylishly🛵. ❗Caution: Be careful when choosing a fisherman's homestay. They can be expensive and offer poor service. A day trip is recommended. 🎈Tips: Naozhou Island is still relatively undeveloped, making it a great place to relax, take photos, and enjoy seafood. However, don't expect too much from the accommodation and facilities. Come to Naozhou Island and embark on a dreamlike journey💗!

When you're tired from work, go to Trenching Island! Riding an e-bike around the island is really comfortable. Enjoy the quiet time while watching the scenery and feeling the breeze. I like quiet places with few people. Today, I had a super happy time riding around the island! Here's my guide: Navigate to the Seaside Wharf (Departure) and take a boat to Trenching Island (remember to check carefully for Trenching Island and Maxie, they are two different places, go towards Trenching Island). There are e-bike rentals right after you get off the boat at Trenching Island (remember to bargain), as well as bicycles and tourist cars. I rented an e-bike, which I personally think is more convenient as you can stop and go as you please. Remember to buy some water and snacks at the pier exit before you start your island tour, or bring your own drinks and snacks, as there are very few shops along the way.
