Deng Xiaoping once wrote a poem for Zhuhai and a poem for Shenzhen, but little known is that as early as February 1960, in the same spring, Deng Xiaoping, then general secretary of the Central Committee, also left a compliment for Zhanjiang: "There is Qingdao in the north and Zhanjiang in the south."

More interestingly, there is a "Qingdao Road" in Zhanjiang, and there is also a "Zhanjiang Road" in Qingdao.
