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
