OVERVIEW

Beihai lies on the Gulf of Tonkin in southern China, with a long shoreline and a warm subtropical climate. The city developed as a nineteenth-century trading port, leaving an old quarter of arcaded buildings alongside modern residential districts and beach resorts. Ferries connect the mainland with nearby Weizhou Island, known for volcanic cliffs and coastal scenery.

Beach areas can be busy during domestic holiday periods, while the older streets offer a more compact urban experience. Seafood markets and restaurants are central to local life. The city is less internationally known than many Chinese coastal destinations, but its combination of port history, beaches and island access gives it a clear regional role.
