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.
