The most "embarrassing" tourist city in China is only separated from Sanya by a sea. Why is no one willing to come?

Zhanjiang is known as the most embarrassing tourist city in China, so why is it said so? Because it is only separated from Sanya by a sea, the prices are not expensive, but it is always deserted and no one comes to visit. Is it because the scenery is not beautiful? Is it because the hygiene is not good? Or is it because the accommodation is too expensive? Of course not at all, and it has even been praised by leaders. So what exactly led to its desertion? Let us reveal the secret together today.

In fact, in terms of status in China, Zhanjiang is still very dominant, and its geographical location is also extremely advantageous. Zhanjiang is the economic center of the Western Guangdong and Beibu Gulf economic circles. It is also a port city from mainland China to Oceania, Africa, Europe and Southeast Asia. It is also the port city with the shortest voyage. And it was one of the first fourteen coastal open cities in China in 1984. More importantly, Zhanjiang is also the location of the Chinese Navy’s South China Sea Fleet Headquarters.

Logically speaking, Zhanjiang is located in such an advantageous geographical location. Most of it is surrounded by islands, and its geographical location is excellent. And regardless of whether it's cold winter or hot summer, its temperature is around 23°C, and the local scenery is worth watching. What's more important is that many attractions here are free. This makes people even more confused, why are so few people coming to visit despite such good conditions?

The first reason is that Sanya is too famous and outshines Zhanjiang. After all, when faced with first and second place, people tend to remember the first place, while the second place will be quickly forgotten. This just takes advantage of people's herd mentality, so groups of people rush to travel to Sanya. On the other hand, the reason why there are so few tourists is probably due to Zhanjiang itself, because their publicity effect is not good, or they do not carry out effective publicity, which leads to the scarcity of tourists.
