Zhanjiang Antarctic Village

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Zhanjiang Antarctic Village is located in Jiaowei Township, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, Guangdong Province. It is the southernmost natural village in mainland China, with unique geographical coordinates and magnificent sea views. The Denglou Corner in the village is an iconic landmark with a red and white lighthouse standing there, witnessing the wonder of the "water line" between the Qiongzhou Strait and the Beibu Gulf. The clear water color dividing line formed at the confluence of the two seas due to the difference in salinity and density is as amazing as the Tai Chi diagram. Antarctic Village is famous for its coral reef ecology. It has the largest and most diverse shallow-sea coral reef nature reserve in mainland China. When the tide is low, you can walk along the mudflats and observe the coral groups up close. The surrounding area retains the original fishing village style, with traditional stone houses and salt fields scattered around. At sunrise and sunset, the sunset glows red on the sea surface, and it is known as the "Antarctic Light of Chinese Mainland." In addition, this place was once an important node on the ancient Maritime Silk Road and has a profound historical heritage. It is recommended to drive there by yourself, which takes about 2 hours from Zhanjiang city. You can also take a bus to Xuwen and transfer to local transportation. This place combines geographical extremes, ecological wonders and cultural customs, making it an ideal place to explore the ends of the earth.
