Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region is located in the southern part of China between 104°28′ to 112°04′ east longitude and 20°54′ to 26°23′ north latitude. It has a population of 47.13 million and dominates a land area of 236,700 square kilometers with a coastline of 1,595 kilometers on the Beibu Gulf in the south. Neighboring on the provinces of Guangdong in the east, Hubei in the north, and Yunnan and Guizhou in the southwest, it links to Hong Kong and Macao by the waterway of the Xijiang River and shares a borderline of 637 kilometers in the west with Vietnam . That is why Guangxi is called "Facing the Southeast Asia with the Great Southwest of China at the back". Enjoying the advantages of location along the coast, river, and border, Guangxi has become a key hub in connecting the southeast coastal provinces with the southwest interior provinces and also the most convenient gateway for the southwest provinces to the sea.
