Fangchenggang (Chinese: 防城港 ''The port of Fangcheng'') is a prefecture-level city in the south of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, People's Republic of China. The city was formerly called "Fangcheng Pan-Ethnicities Autonomous County" (25 December 1978 – 23 May 1993).[2]

Fangchenggang is the southernmost port in China and is located in Fangcheng. It primarily services bulk carriers, of up to 180,000 deadweight tonnes in size.[3] The closest airport is located in Van Don, about 91 km away (1 hours drive).[4] As of December 2018, the region had large amounts of land reclamation in progress to build new and additional ports.[5]
