Whether it is by air, train, sea or road, transportation system in Beihai is fairly developed. Every week there are more than 130 scheduled flights to and from major cities like Beijing, Shanghai, Changsha, Guangzhou, Shenzhen and Hong Kong. It is more convenient for tourists to fly from other cities to Beihai. Due to its seaside location, train transportation in Beihai is very limited and there are only regular trains between Beihai and Nanning. However, sea transportation is very convenient and there are regular ships and cruise ships to Hainan, Weizhou Island.
