Guangdong's Little Maldives | A Rendezvous with METO Antarctic Water Houses

| A Rendezvous with METO Antarctic Water Houses. Are you still worried about the high costs and complicated procedures of going abroad for island vacations? You don't have to go to the Maldives to stay in a dreamy water house in Guangdong! Antarctic Sea Resort Water Houses will definitely satisfy all your fantasies about island vacations! Located in Antarctic Village, Jiaowei Township, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, the southernmost tip of mainland China, at 20 degrees, 13 minutes, and 14 seconds north latitude, it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, facing Hainan Island across the sea, making it a unique and romantic location. The accommodation experience is amazing: all 12 sea view resort water houses are designed as detached units, each with a private terrace and swimming pool, making it a dream to lie down and watch the sea. The rooms are fully equipped with private bathrooms, air conditioning, toiletries, mini-fridges, and smart home features. The Loft water houses even allow you to check in to the underwater world and fall asleep with the fish. The catering service is super considerate: breakfast and welcome fruit are provided upon check-in, and soft drinks in the refrigerator are also free. There are many choices for dinner, and the outdoor iron pot stew and bonfire hot pot are full of atmosphere, accompanied by a giant screen movie. If you don't want to eat these, tell the store in advance what type of food you want, and authentic Zhanjiang cuisine will be arranged! The surrounding attractions are super rich: the beach is just outside the B&B, and you can walk to the Heshui Line in 5 minutes to see the beautiful sunrise and sunset. Check in at Dengloujiao and the Sea Crossing Battle Monument to feel the historical charm; go to seayacafe for a cup of coffee and enjoy French romance; you can also borrow B&B tools to go to the beach to catch the sea and dig for snails, play on transparent boats, and feed the small fish, which is full of fun. Transportation Guide: It is about a 2-hour drive from Zhanjiang Wuchuan Airport and Zhanjiang West Station. It is recommended to rent a car and drive to enjoy the scenery along the way; you can also take a ride or charter a car for easy direct access. This holiday, come to Antarctic Sea Resort Water Houses and encounter your own island romance!

Zhanjiang & Xuwen 3-Day, 2-Night In-Depth Tour | Chikan Old Street, Antarctic Village, and a Seaview Designer Apartment: Check-In Guide Zhanjiang has always been a popular getaway destination in Guangdong. My 3-Day, 2-Night itinerary included Zhanjiang's main city, accommodation in a seaview apartment, a stroll through Chikan Old Street, a chartered car ride to Xuwen's "Chinese Mainland Antarctic Village," a sea of ​​pineapples, and a return to downtown Zhanjiang for a relaxing break at Stone Dog Coffee and authentic Zhanjiang chicken! Compared to Guangzhou and Shenzhen, Zhanjiang definitely has a slower-paced getaway feel, with a quintessential island vibe. 🌊 🛏️ Accommodation Highlight: Direct Ocean Views of Golden Sands Bay For this trip, I stayed at the "Guanhai·Designer Apartment (Zhanjiang Golden Sands Bay Scenic Area Branch)" on the 27th floor, Building B, Poly West Coast Garden, 8 Guangzhou Bay Avenue. The location is superb, within walking distance of Golden Sands Bay, Red-billed Gull Pier, and the seaside promenade. Floor-to-ceiling windows overlook the ocean, and the sunrise and sunset views are truly breathtaking! The duplex-style rooms are spacious, with generally good sanitation and amenities. The 24-hour front desk service is exceptionally attentive. Even minor issues like dampness were proactively addressed by the housekeepers, who were incredibly attentive. 🗓️ Recommended Itinerary Day 1: Zhanjiang City, Chikan Old Street On your first day in Zhanjiang, it's recommended to check into your apartment and drop off your luggage before taking a bus to Chikan Old Street. The old street is rich in culture, allowing you to stroll leisurely through the old buildings, take photos, and enjoy a leisurely stroll along the way. There are also snack shops along the way, perfect for a leisurely afternoon. Day 2: Xuwen: Sea of ​​Pineapples + Antarctic Village In the morning, it's recommended to book a chartered car or self-drive tour to explore Xuwen. Your first stop will be the "Sea of ​​Pineapples," a magnificent expanse of pineapple fields (even more spectacular during the pineapple season from April to August). Your second stop is definitely Antarctic Village in mainland China. Located in Jiaowei Township, Xuwen County, Zhanjiang City, it's open year-round and features unique photo spots like the cape and windmill fields, perfect for photo ops. If you're traveling with a large group, chartering a car is more convenient than taking the bus, especially since Xuwen is quite a distance from the main city. You might also want to try some local fresh-cut pineapples or pineapple drinks along the way to replenish your energy. Day 3: Relaxing Coffee in the City + a Zhanjiang Chicken Feast Before returning, enjoy the slow pace of life in Zhanjiang. We recommend visiting Shigou Coffee (a popular local cafe) for its signature hand-poured coffee in a comfortable setting. For lunch, make a reservation at "Sen Ji He Tian Fang" and savor the Zhanjiang chicken. The chicken is tender and springy, and the authentic white-cut chicken is a must-try, highly recommended by many locals! After your meal, stroll along the Jinsha Seaview Promenade to soak up the island atmosphere. 📍Practical Tips 1. Zhanjiang boasts convenient transportation. You can call Didi or ask your apartment manager for assistance with taxis to major attractions. 2. The apartment's floor-to-ceiling windows offer superb ocean views, but if you notice any dampness, please report it immediately; your manager can arrange for a dehumidifier. 3. Sneakers are comfortable for walking along Chikan Old Street. Snack shops specialize in tofu pudding, fish balls, and more. 4. The pineapple fields are best visited in the morning or evening, so avoid the midday heat and remember to apply sunscreen. 5. Antarctic Village is open year-round, but the wind can be strong at the beach, so bring a hat or jacket. Zhanjiang's slow pace and ocean views, combined with Xuwen's diverse rural scenery, made this three-day trip incredibly relaxing. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Zhanjiang's local coffee and food. I'd love to stay longer and explore more next time! #ZhanjiangTravel #AntarcticVillageCheckIn #GoldenShawanSeaview #ZhanjiangFood #GuangdongNicheVacation
