Heading south all the way, healed at the end of mainland China|Zhanjiang Nanjicun 2 days 1 night off-the-beaten-path trip


"Land ends here, sea begins here"—Unexpectedly, at the southernmost tip of Zhanjiang, Guangdong, lies a primitive fishing village that made me exclaim, "It feels like I've reached the end of the world"—Nanjicun💙

❗【Highlight Unlocked】 This is the only place on mainland China where you can simultaneously see the "kissing line" phenomenon where the waves of the South China Sea and Beibu Gulf meet! The ripples of the two seas blend like a romantic oil painting painted by nature🌊

📍【Healing Highlights】
1️⃣ Dengloujiao: The landmark tower at the southernmost point of the mainland|Check in at the boundary marker of the two seas
2️⃣ Coral Sea: At low tide, a thousand-year-old coral reef group is exposed🪸 as if stepping into the secret realm of the Blue Planet
3️⃣ Salt Field Sunset: In the evening, the silver-white salt fields and sunset clouds intertwine into Monet-like colors
4️⃣ Tide Hunting Experience: At 6 a.m., carry a small bucket and follow fishermen to dig clams🐚 (free experience of primitive fishing village life!)

🏡【Accommodation Guide】
Recommended to stay at local coral stone-built fishing homestays (around 80+ RMB per person!)
👉 Recommended "Nanjicun Coral Sea Homestay": Sea view from the window, and the landlady will take guests tide hunting!

🦞【Food Highlights】
✅ Must-eat: freshly caught and cooked sandworm porridge, charcoal-grilled oysters, pineapple fried seafood rice
✅ Hidden way to eat: In the evening, buy freshly landed crabs directly from fishermen, and the homestay will cook them for only a 10 RMB processing fee!

🛵【Cost-effective Itinerary】
Day 1: Arrive at noon → rent a small electric scooter (20 RMB/day) → take photos at the coral reef coast → see the two-sea boundary at Dengloujiao → watch sunset at the salt fields
Day 2: Tide hunting early morning → eat seafood porridge at fishermen’s home → visit the Coral Museum → return trip

💡【Tips】
▪️ The best time for tide hunting is 2 hours before low tide; ask the homestay for tide times in advance
▪️ Sunscreen! Sunscreen! UV rays are very strong by the sea
▪️ Perfect for a spontaneous weekend trip, 3.5-hour high-speed train direct from Guangzhou to Zhanjiang

"Already very south, it won’t get harder"—I suddenly broke down in tears when I saw this sentence under the lighthouse😭
The kind of peaceful healing power at the end of the mainland is only understood by those who have been here✨
