A Glimpse of the New District (Shenzhen)

Date: 20230515; 20230601 I've learned something new, the new district is different from a regular district. Guangming New District was established in August 2007, as the first functional new district in Shenzhen; in May 2018, the State Council agreed to establish Guangming District in Shenzhen. Hongqiao Park is a place I've long wanted to visit, it's very red in color and also very popular on social media. If interested, you should come soon, before its colors fade. Its biggest advantage is that you can reach the top of the mountain almost without realizing it, as there are hardly any steps to climb; of course, it also has a downside, there's no shade from trees. Actually, before the construction of Hongqiao Park, there was already the famous Datongling Greenway, which connects to the park. On the greenway, there are famous three bridges, and the 'suspension bridge' is one of them. Walking these bridges, you can not only see the golf course but also buildings, lakes, and even high-speed trains and stations. Hmm, you can almost see the entire Guangming District. But you can't see the 'Three Treasures of Guangming'; you need to taste them carefully in a restaurant. Besides squab, the other two treasures are colostrum and sweet corn. Dapeng is different from Guangming, although it was established at the end of 2011, it is still called a new district. The purpose of setting up this district must be to develop tourism. The accommodation is not bad, named 'Little Cuba,' but it's actually a village called Shuitousha. I started visiting Dapeng about twenty years ago, Dongxi Chong, Sanmen Island, Yangmeikeng, Jiaochangwei... But I always encounter these beautiful corners that I've never been to before. A Western restaurant that is very professional in both decoration and dishes, seeing it in Dapeng for the first time. And it's so close to the sea, it reminds me of Lahaina in Maui. For lunch the next day, I wanted to go to Luzui Mountain Villa, but the navigation showed that I had to take a boat from Yangmeikeng, so I gave up decisively. Yougan Bay is at the end of the mountain road, with few people, good water quality, and the restaurant has window seats and air conditioning. On such a hot noon, what more could one ask for?
