Haisi Shougang (First Port of the Maritime Silk Road) Scenic Area
海丝首港景区
A seaside scenic area on the southern outskirts of Hepu County, themed on the Maritime Silk Road, with an ancient harbor pier, Han-style buildings and a coastal promenade.
Hepu was one of the departure ports of the Han-dynasty Maritime Silk Road. Themed on this history, the Haisi Shougang (First Port of the Maritime Silk Road) Scenic Area has a replica Han-style port, a viewing tower, a cultural corridor, wetlands and a seaside boardwalk near the Nanliu River estuary. It is lit at night, making it good for strolling and photos. Most of the area is free and open roughly all day, and some exhibition halls have separate opening hours. It is about 20 km from Beihai city, around a 30-minute drive. It can be scheduled on the same day as the Hepu Han Dynasty Culture Museum and the Dalang Ancient City Site to learn about the history of the Maritime Silk Road.
