Some people describe Guangxi as "one bay connecting eleven countries", among which "bay" refers to the northern harbor, including Qinzhou Port. Qinzhou Port is the most convenient sea route for China's southwest and central southern regions to face ASEAN. There are more than 30 routes from here to ASEAN ports, making it one of the important ports for trade between China and ASEAN countries.
In 2022, the total import and export value of Qinzhou Port to ASEAN reached 9.161 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 37.4%.
