Attraction details:
Yangmeikeng
Yangmeikeng is renowned as Shenzhen's most beautiful valley, combining lush mountains, crystal-clear streams, and the vast sea. It served as a key filming location for Stephen Chow's movie "The Mermaid." The coastal road here winds between mountains and ocean, offering views of verdant peaks with clear streams on one side and the boundless blue sea on the other. Whether strolling or cycling along this route, with the sea breeze brushing your face and waves whispering in your ears, you'll deeply experience the romance and expansiveness of the South China Sea. It's the perfect starting point to escape urban life and embrace nature.
️ Deer Villa
At the end of Yangmeikeng lies Lutzui Resort, boasting magnificent coastal cliff formations where the iconic "Mermaid Cave" from the movie is hidden. Walking along the cliffside boardwalk, you'll witness crashing waves against rugged rocks, marveling at the naturally sculpted sea-eroded landscape. From the elevated vantage point, the vast seascape of Daya Bay unfolds before your eyes. This area is not only a pilgrimage site for film fans but also a natural classroom to experience the majestic power of the ocean and geological wonders.
Dapeng Ancient City
This is a coastal defense fortress with over 600 years of history, the origin of Shenzhen's nickname "Pengcheng." As a crucial military stronghold in southern China during the Ming and Qing dynasties for resisting foreign invasions, the ancient city preserves complete city walls, magnificent general's residences, and quaint residential alleyways. Strolling along the bluestone-paved paths and touching the weathered walls feels like traveling back to an era of armored horses and clashing weapons, making it a living museum to understand Shenzhen's historical context as a "millennium-old county."
️ Jiaochangwei
Known as "Shenzhen's Gulangyu," Jiaochangwei is an artistic coastal town. It boasts Shenzhen's only village with a coastline, featuring soft sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. The shore is lined with uniquely styled guesthouses and shops in various colors, blending Mediterranean charm with local creativity. Whether strolling on the beach, snapping photos, or listening to the waves in a café, visitors can fully unwind and embrace the slow-paced seaside holiday vibe.
