Beihai City is located at the southern end of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous
Region and on the northeastern bank of the Beibu Gulf. It is one of the 14
coastal port cities further opened to the outside world. As early as 2000
years ago, Beihai was active in China's foreign economy and port trade.
Beihai has a good geographical surrounding. Backed by the great southwest
region of China, it faces the Southeast Asia, with Guangdong Province,
Hainan Island, Hong Kong, Macao, and Vietnam close by.Beihai is one of the
nearest ports from China mainland to the port cites in Southeast Asia,
West Asia, Africa, and Europe and thus is the most convenient gateway to
sea for China's southwest region and part of the areas in southern and
central China. Beihai is rich in natural resources such as seaports, fresh
water, land, tourism, marine products, minerals, oil and natural gas,
especially in those of comprehensive subtropical resources. Beihai has a
very advantageous environment for investment. In recent years, the city
has focused construction on railway, seaport, airport, highway, power
supply, water supply, communication, system of drains and other
infrastructure. At present, its highways radiate in all directions. The
port's handling capacity has been further promoted, and airport extension
is proceeding smoothly. The city of Beihai has basically formed a system
of three-dimensional communications by land, air, and sea, and thus become
a major gateway to the sea for Southwest China and some parts of South
China
