Hike up for another 10 minutes to reach the top. · ⚠️Tips: ✅ Recommended to go on a sunny afternoon so you can watch the sunset before heading down ‼️ There are many mosquitoes, so take protective measures

This hot spring town is located in OCT East, Yantian District, Shenzhen. The entire town is modeled after Interlaken, Switzerland, and you can even stay in Swiss-style forest cabins.

You can soak in herbal hot springs surrounded by European architecture and lush forests, catch a ride on the forest train at sunset, and enjoy a spectacular water dance show at night—enough to keep you entertained for a full three-day getaway 🔥. Plus, hotel guests get complimentary park tickets, making it the perfect weekend escape 👀.

Full of Japanese Nagasaki Inasayama track car. You can also visit the "Ruri Beach" at the foot of the cliff, which is very similar to Okinawa Star Beach. The water is crystal clear. Visitors will rent a glass boat to enjoy the small fish in the sea.

At dusk, we checked in at "One Thousand and One Nights" near one avenue of Futian Excellence, and it felt like we were in the world of the movie "AI Human Intelligence".

Last week in Shenzhen, I was caught by one of those rainy days when walking around the city is not so enjoyable. So I decided to go inside Coastal City Mallin Nanshan. I expected the usual shopping mall experience, shops, restaurants, coffee and people walking around. But then I started noticing the sculptures. Some of them immediately caught my attention. They were modern, elegant and surprisingly expressive. I later discovered that these sculptures were connected to the work of Richard MacDonald, the renowned American sculptor known for his beautiful figurative bronze sculptures. What surprised me even more was finding out that Richard MacDonald’s own professional records mention sculpture installations at Coastal City in Shenzhen between 2015 and 2017. So these weren't simply random decorations made to look like his work. I found myself stopping again and again to look at them. What I liked most was the way the sculptures didn't simply feel like decorations placed inside a shopping mall. They made me slow down. I started looking at the details, the movement of the body, the posture, the balance and the feeling of movement captured in bronze. For a moment, I almost forgot that I was inside a shopping mall. Of course, I cannot confirm whether every individual piece is a unique, one-of-one original cast, as works by MacDonald can also exist in editions. But knowing that his own records specifically mention the Coastal City installations made the discovery even more interesting to me. That is one thing I enjoy about travelling in China: sometimes you don't need to visit a famous museum or tourist attraction to discover something interesting. You can simply walk into a shopping centre because it is raining… and unexpectedly find yourself standing in front of artwork that makes you stop and think. 📍 Coastal City, Nanshan, Shenzhen 🚇 How to get there: Take Shenzhen Metro Line 2 or Line 11 to Houhai Station. Exit D1is a convenient choice for Coastal City, followed by a short walk. 💡 My tip: If you're visiting Shenzhen on a rainy day, don't automatically stay in your hotel. Coastal City is a good place to combine shopping, food and some unexpected art. If you enjoy photography, take your time, there are plenty of interesting details to notice. Sometimes the best discoveries are the ones you weren't looking for. Have you ever entered a shopping mall just to escape the rain and ended up discovering something completely unexpected? #Shenzhen #CoastalCity #Nanshan #ShenzhenTravel #ChinaTravel #RichardMacDonald #Sculpture #PublicArt #ModernArt #ArtAndTravel #TravelChina #ShenzhenThingsToDo #ChinaTravelTips

Dameisha sounds beautiful and enticing. We headed to this beach immediately after checking into the hotel. An hour's taxi ride and we were there. Our first impression was good: shops, changing cabins (which double as restrooms), photo zones, and soft sand. We wanted to lie down and relax after the flight. But that turned out to be not the case at this beach: the screams of delight from swimmers in the sea, the endless wail of sirens, lifeguard warnings over the loudspeaker, and announcements about lost children—all of this made it difficult to fully relax. The sea, clean and refreshing, more or less mitigated the situation. The swimming area is small, and a lifeguard on a jet ski patrols its perimeter, driving overly bold swimmers back closer to the shore, but only those wearing swimming rings. One of the main features of this beach is that you can get here by metro (Line 8, Dameisha station). The access is direct to the beach—very convenient, about an hour's drive from the city center. Overall, it's a perfectly acceptable city beach for a refreshing dip and two or three hours of downtime. But there are some caveats.

If you think Shenzhen is all skyscrapers and tech hubs, think again. The city boasts surprisingly stunning beaches and a picturesque coastline. And if you venture a bit further into neighboring Huizhou (Huidong), you’ll find hidden gems that feel just like the Maldives. Here’s a curated list of beaches where you can swim, snap incredible photos, and escape the city hustle. Shenzhen Beaches 1. Dameisha (大梅沙) — The Go-To Public Beach 👍 Pros: Free admission, massive area, well-developed infrastructure, and lifeguards on duty. Easy to reach via metro — Dameisha Station, Exit A. 👎 Cons: Extremely crowded on weekends and holidays. The water isn't always crystal clear due to the crowds; algae blooms can occur in April and May. There's a lack of waterfront cafes—better to bring your own drinks and snacks. Entrance: Free. Hours: 7:00 AM – 11:00 PM. 2. Xiaomeisha (小梅沙) — Premium Paid Beach 👍 Pros: Cleaner than Dameisha, well-equipped with swimming zones and changing rooms. Convenient access via Metro Line 8. 👎 Cons: Entrance fee is quite high, especially for families (up to 500 RMB for three). During algae season, swimming might not be recommended. 3.

Swimming is prohibited in certain sections due to a lack of designated zones—perfect for views and photos only. Hours: Open 24/7. 4. Judiaosha (桔钓沙) — The 'Glass Sea' and Purest Sand 👍 Pros: A true 'glass sea' with turquoise, transparent water. The sand is white and fine like flour, earning it the nickname 'Milky Beach.' One of the best spots in Shenzhen for swimming and photography. 👎 Cons: Located on the Dapeng Peninsula, it’s difficult to reach by public transport—taxis or rentals are best. It can get very crowded. 5. Jiaochangwei (较场尾) — 'Little Gulangyu' by the Sea 👍 Pros: A charming village with over 400 stylish guesthouses right on the shore. It has a creative vibe with plenty of bars, cafes, and restaurants. Perfect for those who want to mix beach time with socializing. Entrance is free. 👎 Cons: The sea itself isn't as impressive—the sand and water are average without a 'wow' factor. It’s quite far from downtown Shenzhen. 6. Guanhu (官湖) — A 'Japanese-style' Beach with Shonan Vibes 👍 Pros: A small fishing village with a Japanese aesthetic—white houses and streets that look straight out of an anime. The beach is clean, cozy, and lacks massive crowds. Great for walks and photos. 👎 Cons: The area is small with less infrastructure than larger beaches. Entrance: Free. 7. Nan'ao — 'Cuban' Vibe and the Best Sunsets 👍 Pros: The most colorful beach featuring Havana-style bright houses, vintage cars, and art installations. Offers excellent sunsets and panoramic views. 👎 Cons: Water clarity varies, and the beach is relatively small. 🌊☀️❤️ Huizhou (Huidong) Beaches — Worth the Trip About 1.5–2 hours from Shenzhen, you’ll find beaches that many consider even better than the city’s offerings. Here are the top gems. 8. Yanzhou Island (盐洲岛) — The Most Underrated Wild Island A small island with completely free beaches and untouched nature—no crowds or expensive restaurants, just the sea and the breeze. Main Beach — Wanzai Village Beach (湾仔村海滩): · The water is clear as glass; on sunny days, it turns a deep turquoise ('jelly sea'). · The best sunrise on the coast—the sky turns pink and gold. · You can scavenge for mussels and crabs for free during low tide. · 👎 Cons: No modern amenities—bring your own food, water, and umbrella. 🚗 Getting there: Car only. About 2 hours from Shenzhen; search for 'Yanzhou Island Caishitan Beach' on navigation. 9. Shili Yintan (十里银滩) — 'The Maldives' in 1.5 Hours A long stretch of powdery white sand and turquoise water—exactly what you’d expect for a perfect beach photo. Entrance is free. 💙🩵 More highlights: · Reef Park — Natural rock formations perfect for photoshoots. Wear comfortable shoes as it can be slippery. · 3 km coastal bike path — Bike rentals are 20–40 RMB/hour. · For thrill-seekers: Water sports like banana boats, jet skis, and fishing. 🚗 Getting there: 1.5 hours by car from Shenzhen. You can also take a train to Huidong Station, followed by a 30–40 minute taxi ride. 10. Xunliao Bay (巽寮湾) — The Classic Family Resort The most popular resort in Huizhou. The sea is gentle with calm waves and soft, fine sand. Ideal for families with children and seniors. 💙 Nearby spots: · Mozi Rock Park — Giant, uniquely shaped boulders along the shore. · Tide Pool Park (Free) — Crabs and shells can be found in the pools between rocks. · Delta Island — Accessible by boat, featuring crystal-clear water. Getting there: 2 hours by car from Shenzhen or Guangzhou. Parking is paid. 🩵 Huizhou Beaches for the Soul and Photos Colored Pebble Beach (彩石滩) on Yanzhou Island If you're tired of sand, check out this natural wonder. 60-million-year-old black basalt rocks, polished to a shine by the ocean, shimmer with multicolored hues. The surrounding water is as clear as the Caribbean. The best time to visit is right after low tide. Entrance is free, accessible only by car. 🌊 A Final Tip The best time for swimming is from June to October when the water is warm and algae are mostly gone. April and May have great weather but might have 'blooming' tides. If you visit in winter, it will be deserted and clean, but the water will be chilly.

Why can't you just go to the nearest mall in China? One city sells pearls, another tea, and a third will subtly convince you to buy a thousand hair clips 😏 Where to Buy Things in China — A Guide to Regional Specializations I quickly realized that China isn't just one giant store; it’s an entire system of specialized trading hubs. If you know the right city, you can get a much better deal. If you don't, you'll still find what you need—it'll just be more expensive and come in a fancier bag 😌 · *Shenzhen — (深圳)** For electronics, I head to the Huaqiangbei (华强北) district. They sell everything from smartphones and cameras to drones, components, and accessories. Key spots: Sai Ge Electronic Market (赛格电子市场 — Sài Gé Diànzǐ Shìchǎng) and Huaqiang Electronic World (华强电子世界 — Huáqiáng Diànzǐ Shìjiè), accessible via Huaqiangbei Station (华强北站), Lines 2 and 7. However, always check the specs, international versions, warranties, and whether the device works outside of China. The magic phrase: 有国际版吗?(Yǒu guójì bǎn ma?) — "Is there an international version?" For gold, silver, and pearls, visit the Shuibei Jewelry district (水贝珠宝 — Shuǐbèi Zhūbǎo), near Shuibei Station (水贝站) or Tianbei Station (田贝站). Always ask for the purity level, certificate, and receipt. · *Guangzhou — (广州)** Clothing is cheapest at the Baima Clothing Market (白马服装市场 — Báimǎ Fúzhuāng Shìchǎng). Take Metro Lines 2 or 5 to Guangzhou Railway Station (广州火车站), Exit G. This is the place for dresses, outerwear, bags, and local brands. For leather and accessories, check out the Guihuagang Leather Goods area (桂花岗皮具商圈 — Guìhuāgǎng Píjù Shāngquān). But remember: a "designer" logo for the price of two cups of coffee usually means "customs trouble" rather than a generous seller. · *Yiwu — (义乌)** The world capital of small commodities is the Yiwu International Trade City (义乌国际商贸城 — Yìwū Guójì Shāngmào Chéng). Accessible via the Jinyidong Line at International Trade City Station (国际商贸城站). Home decor, stationery, toys, costume jewelry, packaging, holiday decorations—they have everything here. Sometimes, however, items are only sold in packs of a hundred. My go-to questions: 可以零售吗?(Kěyǐ língshòu ma?) — "Can I buy this at retail?" and 这是批发价吗?(Zhè shì pīfā jià ma?) — "Is this the wholesale price?" · *Jingdezhen — (景德镇)** This is the place for ceramics. For modern, designer pieces, look for the Taoxichuan Cultural and Creative Block (陶溪川文创街区 — Táoxīchuān Wénchuàng Jiēqū) near Taoxichuan Station (陶溪川站). For a wider variety, try China Ceramics City (中国陶瓷城 — Zhōngguó Táocí Chéng). I check every cup for chips and ask for sturdy packaging: 请包装结实一点 (Qǐng bāozhuāng jiēshi yīdiǎn) — "Please pack it securely." A suitcase full of porcelain teaches you gentleness faster than any relationship 🫖 · *Hangzhou — (杭州)** This is where I look for silk and Longjing tea. For silk, head to China Silk City (中国丝绸城 — Zhōngguó Sīchóu Chéng), near Fengqi Road Station (凤起路站). For tea, go to Longjing Village (龙井村 — Lóngjǐng Cūn) or Meijiawu (梅家坞 — Méijiāwù). Always ask for the harvest year: 哪一年的茶?(Nǎ yī nián de chá?) — "Which year is this tea from?" And don't believe every tin labeled "West Lake Longjing" (西湖龙井 — Xīhú Lóngjǐng). Real quality tea isn't usually suspiciously cheap. · *Foshan — (佛山)** For furniture and interior design, visit Le Cong International Furniture City (乐从国际家具城 — Lè Cóng Guójì Jiājù Chéng). This is best for those buying in bulk who have already calculated shipping costs. Otherwise, a "cheap" sofa might cost as much to ship home as a small airplane. My rules: Compare at least three shops, check the quality, ask for a receipt — 可以开发票吗?(Kěyǐ kāi fāpiào ma?) — "Can I get a receipt?" — and don't mistake a wholesale price for a requirement to open your own boutique. China loves a bargain—especially when you know how to do the math 😉

🏅 The lobby design is reminiscent of a European boutique hotel. The lobby bar serves Peet's Coffee, and with the afternoon sun streaming onto the bookshelves, there are plenty of cozy sofas to relax in. 🏅 The high-rise sea views and dual floor-to-ceiling windows in the rooms are a visual treat. UrCove’s premium bathrobes are incredibly soft, and rooms come standard with top-tier amenities like Dyson hair dryers and capsule coffee machines. 🏅 Wake up naturally the next day and head to the 18th-floor sea-view restaurant for a lavish breakfast, while watching ships drift through Shekou Port. If you fancy a walk after breakfast, Prince Bay Metro Station (Exit B1) is right downstairs, and K11 is just next door. 🏅 Overall Service: The lobby is located on the 2nd floor; you must take the elevator from the ground floor. The hotel offers breakfast, afternoon tea, and late-night snacks (available on Fridays and Saturdays). The breakfast features Chaoshan rice noodles, with a pleasant atmosphere and a good variety of options. The highlight of the stay is definitely the coastal scenery outside the window. ‼️ Note: The AC is very cold and the duvets are quite thin, so make sure to turn up the temperature at night ⬆️ 🏅 Room Info: Type: 21st-floor Executive Sea View King Room (I recommend booking the 270-degree Panorama King Room for more space and better photos); my previous stay on the 16th floor didn't have as good a view. Size: 35 sqm. 🌙 At night, the sofa sits in the modern, quiet space as the city lights and warm indoor glow intertwine—perfect for zoning out.
