I want to go to Zhanjiang with my girlfriend on holiday in mid-July. Who can tell me what interesting places are near Xiashan Mountain in Zhanjiang, suitable for two people to visit?

The large-scale theme tropical garden parks in Xiashan are free to open: China-Australia Friendship Park, Lutanghe Wetland Park, Zhanjiang Seaside Park, Fishing Port Park, Fox Xia Park and Xiashan Green Park.

You can take a red-billed gull cruise to visit Range Rover, Xiashan-Bay Bridge-Chikan Jinsha Bay, one of the eight scenic spots in Zhanjiang. You can also go to the Techeng Island Resort in Xiashan, take a 30-hour express train and sit at the Techeng Island Pier on Renmin East Road in Xiashan.

French architecture

Victoria Catholic Church (also known as Xiashan Catholic Church) introduced western architecture during the French rule in Zhanjiang, and a number of modern buildings with European characteristics appeared in Xiashan. Although it was built by Zhanjiang people, it was designed by the French. Therefore, the building was completely westernized, reflecting the prevailing architectural style in France at that time. These French architectural relics have become precious "fossils" to understand Zhanjiang's history. The main architectural relics in French style include the former site of the French Embassy in Guangzhou Bay, the former site of the French Police Department in Guangzhou Bay, the Victoria Catholic Church, also known as the Xiashan Catholic Church, the former site of the Credit Suisse Bank in the East, and the Xiashan Gospel Church.
