Zhanjiang Seaside Park, walking among the coconut trees, the sea is very clear and blue. Taking a stroll along the Xiashan Seaview Promenade, you will arrive at the seaside park without realizing it. Suddenly it became more lively. The sea in the seaside park was more beautiful, and there were seaside piers leading to Masha and Techeng nearby. There is a small sea in the park where you can go boating. There are many people having picnics in the park, lying on the grass carefree, daydreaming in the sea breeze, eating snacks, and looking very leisurely and contented. Since the Chinese New Year had just passed, the Times Square in the park was still very lively, and many children were playing in the playground next to it. It was a relatively local small park. The park is not very special, but it is a wonderful afternoon to bask in the sun, feel the sea breeze, and listen to the waves hitting the shore. Seaside Park

If I could only choose one from so many parks in Zhanjiang, I would pick the Seaside Park! There's hardly any seaweed by the beach here (the neighboring Guanhai Promenade has a lot), and there are grassy areas and palm trees. Lying on the grass and feeling the sea breeze is truly comfortable! You can also sit on a bench and listen to music, spending an entire afternoon just like that, enjoying the feeling of looking up to see the ocean. Coming here, you'll encounter many aunties on electric bikes asking if you want to take a boat ride. At first, I thought they were just ordinary boats, but it turned out to be speedboats. My friend wanted to try it, so we asked an auntie in a pink outfit. She was easy to talk to and said it was 30 yuan per person (which is actually quite expensive), but none of us had ever tried it, so we wanted to give it a shot. It was really thrilling, fun, and cool! It felt quite worth it, especially since it was our first time (and probably the last). There's also a flock of pigeons in the park, which looks beautiful when they fly. Right next to it is the water bus pier, where you can take a boat out to sea for 5 yuan a trip.

🚅High-speed rail: Zhanjiang West Station 🚂Train: Zhanjiang Station ✈️Airport: Zhanjiang Wuchuan Airport (far from the city) DAY1️⃣ 📍Cunjin Park The park was built in 1958 to commemorate the people of Suixi's anti-French struggle. It is one of the eight scenic spots in Zhanjiang - "Inch of Gold and Noble Spirit" and is also the largest subtropical garden-style park tourist attraction in Zhanjiang. In the central square of the village Cunjin Memorial Square Park stands a statue of the anti-French hero, engraved with Guo Moruo's handwriting "Every inch of land is worth an inch of gold". 📍Chikan Old Street Chikan Old Street is an ancient port with Lingnan style, with streets and alleys crisscrossing. Strolling through it on a sunny afternoon and feeling the richness of history and the magnificence of culture is the ultimate enjoyment. The filming location of "The Bad Kids" 📽, two days of exploration, revealing the charm of the old street, looking for unique photo spots, every frame is a gift from time. 📍Binhu Wetland Park The park has been transformed into a pure orange-red landscape by the bald cypress. 🍁Although it’s not that orange, it’s already very beautiful. Each tree changes color at a different speed, and young trees change color faster than old trees, so they present a layered beauty of transition from green to yellow and then to red. The bald cypress on both sides of the river complement each other on the water surface, which is enough for everyone to enjoy and take pictures! 📍Golden Sands Bay This is a must-visit place in Zhanjiang. It is open to the public for free and has complete surrounding facilities, including star-rated hotels, large shopping malls, etc. 🛍There are also internet celebrity streets and small shops to meet your shopping and food needs. This is not only a great place for a beach vacation🏖, but also a great place to experience the urban style of Zhanjiang. DAY2️⃣ 📍Southern Tropical Garden Although it is in the city center, it is quiet, clean and elegant. 🦋The butterfly-dancing sea of ​​flowers is the highlight of the garden. The rainbow-like sea of ​​flowers makes people feel the spring in advance. The flower clock is similar to the Kunming World Expo Park. The Zhanjiang Style Corridor integrates various elements 🌈, showing the designer's ingenuity. In the rapeseed fields, bees and butterflies are flying, and the scene is very lively. 📍China-Australia Friendship Garden I arrived at the garden in the afternoon. The sunset dyed the sky red and the scenery on the bridge was as charming as an oil painting. 🌅The beach is bustling with local residents and tourists sharing the beautiful scenery, strolling, watching, or taking photos. The clean and elegant environment and the gentle sea breeze make people feel relaxed and happy. The nearby Lighthouse Park became another scenery, with children laughing and adults recording this unforgettable moment. 📍Fishing Port Park The winter wind is strong and the sea is full of charm. Although the temperature has warmed up recently, the winter is still strong. The sea breeze whistles, telling winter stories. Japanese seaside style, fishing boats and waves paint the picture together. Under the warm sunshine, the charm of winter remains. Stand on the shore, feel the sea breeze on your face, and immerse yourself in the winter fishing port style. 📍Seaside Park As one of the eight scenic spots in Zhanjiang, it has perfect greening and upgraded facilities, becoming a new favorite for tourists. 💯The sea-viewing promenade and mangrove boardwalk have become popular check-in spots. The tranquil sea view and unique ecology attract many tourists to experience it🎈. The park has become a popular destination for sightseeing, leisure and entertainment, showcasing the charm of Zhanjiang's seaside. 📍Xiashan Catholic Church This unique building located in the bustling city may not be as grand in scale as people imagine, but the tranquility and peace it exudes are enough to comfort people's hearts. This church is not only a holy place of faith, but also a paradise for photography enthusiasts. Every corner is full of surprises and possibilities.

I finished watching the drama 'The Hidden Corner' in one night and decided to spend a day in Zhanjiang. The city is not much different from other big cities, so I stayed in Chikan Old Street where the drama was filmed. There is a Ferris wheel nearby, only 15 yuan per ride, quite cheap! I visited the places where the main characters of the TV series often appeared, experienced the public toilet on the second floor, and the outdoor mahjong square in the early morning. Let me introduce the food in Chikan: 1. Leizhou white-cut dog meat, I haven't eaten it for many years because my ex-girlfriend didn't allow me to eat it. I thought it was chicken when I entered the shop, it was fragrant and there were many flavors. 2. Old stall beef offal, various beef offal with various seasonings. 3. First Love Beef Rice, tender and fragrant. 4. Ma Sanjie Seafood Hot Pot Noodles, a popular online shop, it's worth a try if you don't have to queue for too long. There are many other delicious foods, but my stomach can only hold so much, so I can only experience them next time!

Other than eating seafood and strolling through Chikan Old Street, there are other things to do in Zhanjiang. You can also stroll around the seaside park and take some photos. Few people, beautiful scenery, feel free to take pictures. In the morning, you can come here to watch the sunrise. Not many people, mostly elderly exercising. In the afternoon, there will be more people. 🏝Tips ❶The light is great for taking photos during sunrise and sunset. ❷Parking location - West Coast entrance, East Dam, swimming pool.
