Beihai has carried out development and construction at high level
in accordance with high standard required by a modern city plan, and
completed an area of over 30 square kilometers. Look around the city
proper, and you will find that the road is broad and straight, the
roadside trees flourishing, always smelling sweet. What a pleasant
gift from the nature! The sea is deep blue, sunshine bright, sea beach
with fine sand and clear water, harmonious mixture of buildings with
western and Chinese style, residential zones with fine surroundings,
green plazas with distinctive features, all contrasting finely with
each other, leaving you so many beautiful things that you simply can
not take them all in. What a picture of distinctively local custom,
the Pearl Home culture, the Hakka's culture, and the Danjia culture,
with the local residents so kind and simple!
Beihai is located on the Beibu Gulf in the southern part of Guangxi
province, on the southwestern coast of China. It faces Southeast
Asia across the sea, with southwest China immediately behind. It
borders Guangdong, Hainan, Hong Kong, Macao and Vietnam by land
and sea.
The city covers 3,337 square kilometers, and its population totals
1.35 million, including 480,000 in surrounding urban areas. Beihai
and surrounding areas are home to high-quality and attractive buildings
and infrastructure representative of any modern city plan.
Look around the city proper, and you will find broad, straight
roads beautified by trees perfuming the air ... a pleasant gift
from nature! Architecture is a harmonious mixture of western and
Chinese styles; residential zones are surrounded by green plazas
with distinctive features, and offer many beautiful sights to enjoy.
The bordering sea is clear and deep blue, sunshine bright, and washes
upon beaches of fine sand.
The city has an especially advantageous location in the economic
region of Southwest China and Asia's Pacific Rim. In 1984 Beihai
was designated as one of the fourteen Chinese coastal cities to
be further opened to the outside world. Since the beginning of the
reform, the city has worked to achieve rapid development and thus
become an affluent, beautiful, civilized and garden-like modern
city.
Beihai abounds in tourism resources for visitors interested in
a marine environment. We have the sea, sand beaches, islands, seafood,
marine treasures, mangrove, coral, maritime culture, and marine
sports, etc., all of which combine for a complete marine experience.
Beihai has witnessed a rapid development in its tourist industry
ever since 1984. It was designated as one of China's important tourism
cities in 1988, and has now become a major tourist destination for
the coastal south of China. |
