Another high-speed rail has opened! A super low-key seaside town, with an average temperature of 22℃ in March

Just a few days ago, Guangxi's first cross-sea high-speed rail, the Fangchenggang-Dongxing Railway, quietly opened. This is also the first railway from China to the Vietnam border, not only connecting the picturesque Liuzhou and the laid-back Nanning, but also allowing you to take a train to see the sea! Because on the Fangchenggang-Dongxing Railway, there lies a hidden gem of a coastal town—Fangchenggang. Stepping out the door, you're greeted by the vast sea, streets filled with Vietnamese charm, and a never-ending supply of seafood and fruits throughout the year, making it the perfect place to escape the crowds and relax for a while! The town is very warm, even in winter the temperature can reach 20℃, and it's like spring all year round. It seems to be cherished by spring and summer, with clear blue skies, crystal-clear sunlight, soft clouds, and trees lining the streets always bursting with endless greenery, inviting you to sit under their shade and bask in the sun all day long. The cost of living in the town is also not high, and you can have a comfortable time without spending much. An average of ¥80 can get you a room with a sea view, 2 yuan for a roll of rice noodles, 3 yuan for an oyster, and 10 yuan for 3 jin of Wogan (a type of citrus fruit), plus a bowl of seafood porridge with generous toppings for just over 10 yuan, giving you a mouthful of freshness. The 580-kilometer-long coastline outlines the vastness and romance of the town. You can walk on the undisturbed beaches, gaze at the distant lighthouses, listen to the magnificent reefs and waves, and follow the quiet paths leading to the seaside... letting you see the sea in all its myriad forms at once. 1️⃣ It's not recommended to go to Baisha Bay, Guai Shi Beach, or Bailang Beach during holidays (extremely crowded), but you can visit during off-peak times. 2️⃣ Wanwei Golden Beach is recommended for its fewer people and more food, and you can stay in a homestay close to the sea, with the ocean right outside your window. 3️⃣ Fishing Village: Navigate to Leshan Ancient Fishing Village, it's very, very beautiful! You can rent a boat to go fishing, 3️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ per boat. You can also go out to catch seafood in the morning, before 10:30 am. 4️⃣ Dongxing Day Trip: A border town about 45km from Fangchenggang, separated from Vietnam by just a bridge and a river. Check out Vietnam Street, Dongxing Port, and the No.1 Boundary Marker of the Qing Dynasty to experience the Vietnamese culture. Eat: 1️⃣ San Jie Chicken Rice Noodles, so, so, so delicious! The dry mix is more flavorful than the soup noodles. Expect to queue for 1 hour~ 2️⃣ Yi Zhong Sweet Soup, the 8 yuan signature taro balls are really generous, recommended with coconut milk flavor 3️⃣ Saigon Coffee: Drip coffee, personally prefer it with milk 4️⃣ Seafood: You can buy it at Wanwei Seafood Market, then find a roadside stall by the sea or on the street to have it cooked. 5️⃣ For those who like snail noodles, you can try Changhuijia, although it's a chain, the taste is really good! Recommended in a clay pot
