Introducing Běihǎi
No time for the beaches of Hǎinán? Head directly here, your next-best alternative. This friendly, tree-lined port community, 229km south of Nánníng, is the launching point for a ferry to Hǎinán but also has its own famed Silver Beach. More then 2000 years old, the city was once a major node on the ancient marine Silk Road – the harbour area retains lovely old buildings. Pearl production later cemented its reputation. Thousands of Chinese-Vietnamese refugees landed here after the 1979 Sino-Viet conflict – look for evidence of the Vietnamese community around the harbour.
