Seventy-Two Jing Islets
七十二泾
A sea maze of more than a hundred small islands and winding channels at the mouth of the Maowei Sea. Cruising through the island cluster by boat is a classic activity.
The Seventy-Two Jing waters lie northwest of Qinzhou Port, where the Maowei Sea meets Qinzhou Bay, in the Longmen Islands. More than a hundred small islands are scattered across roughly 10 km of sea, forming a web of criss-crossing channels that is known as the “Penglai of the South.” Most visitors take a boat tour around the island cluster from Longmen Port or the piers near Xiandao Park. The tour takes about an hour, and you can see oyster rafts, fishing village life, and mangroves. Ticket prices are posted at the pier. Boats stop running during typhoon season.
