Xiao Dongjiang is located in Maonan District and is known as the mother river of Maoming. It has nurtured the land, culture, and the prosperity and splendor of Maoming since its establishment as a city. Xiao Dongjiang is a trans-boundary river that flows through Maoming and Zhanjiang, with a total length of about 67 kilometers. The river is famous for turning into a ‘firewater river’ due to oil shale mining for oil refining in the 1950s.


Xiao Dongjiang meanders and nourishes the land of Maoming. As the mother river, it has witnessed the economic and civilization progress of Maoming. After years of urban transformation, Maoming has developed a ‘one river, two banks’ development pattern today, with high-rise buildings and business districts converging here. It is open all year round and accessible 24/7.
