The Fangchenggang tour
Located in the southern part of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, Fangchenggang is a beautiful coastal city situated at the southwestern end of China’s mainland coastline. Facing the Beibu Gulf, the city connects important destinations such as Qinzhou, Nanning, and Vietnam, making it an important gateway for trade, tourism, and cultural exchanges between China and Southeast Asia.
With a history dating back thousands of years, Fangchenggang has been inhabited since the Neolithic Age. After Qin Shihuang unified China in 221 BC, the area became part of Xiang Commandery. The name “Fangcheng” first appeared during the Song Dynasty, and later, during the Qing Dynasty, Fangcheng County was established under the administration of Guangdong Province. In 1985, Fangcheng District was created in Guangxi, and in 1993, Fangchenggang was officially established as a prefecture-level city.

The city features diverse landscapes where mountains, hills, coastal areas, and terraced fields blend together. The northern and southern parts of Fangchenggang are mainly covered by hills and mountains, while the southeastern area is characterized by coastal harbors along the beautiful Beibu Gulf.
