Cost of living, housing, transport and neighborhoods in Beihai.
City Overview
Beihai, at the southern tip of Guangxi on the Beibu Gulf, is a famed seaside-tourism and "snowbird" wellness city; Silver Beach ("the finest beach under heaven") and Weizhou Island (a volcanic island) are nationally famous. One of the departure ports of the ancient Maritime Silk Road, it has a long history of pearl ("South Pearl") farming. Warm and livable in winter, it draws many "snowbird" winter residents. Electronics-information and port-side industry are rising. Mid-range cost and a relaxed pace — a coastal city of the Beibu Gulf economic zone.
