The Spring Sea at Shenzhen Dameisha

After several years, I returned to Dameisha and found many new roads, shops, and hotels. The once glorious Yalan Hotel now shows signs of wear, with only the relentless waves echoing permanently. To catch the sunrise at 6:30 am, I headed to the beach, where a vast outlet town surrounded the entire beachfront. The calm morning waters reflected the coconut trees, arch bridges, eaves, and European-style rooftops in their slumber. Two men with blank stares walked down a street covered in English words, with brands like GUCCI, PRADA, BURBERRY, DOLCE&GABBANA, CK Jeans, until they reached the top of a rainbow staircase that bore a Chinese sign reading 'Elegant Garden'. Around a corner, I encountered the Angel's Wings, where an old man stood reluctantly, witnessing a romantic confession. A joyful goddess with wings and a lyre led two walking stallions, and a sea of roses cascaded down from the second floor, where we diligently searched for our rare and familiar characters. The tall Wish Tower served as my guide, but I couldn't get close. Security guards shouted and chased away anyone nearing the beach. A small path of plaza bricks became the red line between people and the sea; I was on one side, the sea on the other. The guards said we could enter at 7 am. A sandpile announced the Second Dameisha Sand Sculpture Festival, featuring the Hulk, Shrek's Seven Monsters, Little Dance Tang San, SpongeBob, and the Mermaid. Mythology ultimately lost to Toy Story. Under a gloomy sky, the sea appeared somewhat eerie green, with white foam washing onto the dark yellow sand. Children began to play in the sand, and girls with long hair faced the wind on Dameisha's beach. Those brave enough to swim in this weather were truly audacious. And there were the colorful winged people from my memories, poised as if to take flight from the sand. As the sun struggled to rise through the haze, more people arrived on the beach, and it was time for me to leave. When I saw the Eighty Steps Sea Residence, a black swan on the lake halted my steps. 🗾Location: Yantian District, Yanmei Road 🚗Transportation: Accessible by self-driving (many parking lots), subway, or bus. 🎫Tickets: The beach park is free, but the Wish Tower and sea activities require tickets. 👣Touring: Shenzhen's public venue is surrounded by mountains on three sides and faces the sea, boasting a long, high-quality sandy beach and a nearly 500-meter-long Sunshine Corridor. On the east side of the Sun Plaza, there is an 80-meter-tall Wish Tower, from which you can gaze at the undulating waves of Dapeng Bay. The park is divided into swimming, sports, barbecue (only open in summer), and entertainment areas. For those who enjoy sports, there are beach buggies, jet skiing, surfing, paddleboarding, and other water activities. 🧸Currently, the second Dameisha Sand Sculpture Festival is underway, creating a kingdom of animation on the beach. It is sure to be a favorite among children.
