Zhanjiang City
A port city on the Leizhou Peninsula at the southern tip of mainland China, with volcanic lakes, island scenery and fresh, lively seafood.
Zhanjiang lies on the Leizhou Peninsula in southwestern Guangdong, surrounded by sea on three sides, and is an important port city. Xuwen County is home to the landmark marking the southernmost point of mainland China, Huguangyan is a maar volcanic lake, and Naozhou Island is a volcanic island. In the city, Jinsha Bay and Chikan Old Street offer a taste of urban life, and seafood street-food stalls are a highlight. Autumn and winter through spring are mild and ideal for visiting, while summer brings frequent typhoons, so keep an eye on the weather.
