Dengloujiao lies in Jiewei Township, Xuwen County, and is the southernmost cape of mainland China. It has a 'Southernmost Point of Mainland China' marker stone and two lighthouses. At low tide you can see the 'Boundary of Two Seas', where the waters of the South China Sea and the Beibu Gulf meet. Nearby waters include a coral reef protection area. This was also one of the departure points for the 1950 landing campaign to liberate Hainan Island, and there are commemorative facilities here. It is about 2.5 hours by car from Zhanjiang city, and visiting together with the Sea of Pineapples is recommended.
