Shenzhen Observatory Sunrise and Xichong Beach Guide.

[Itinerary] Drive to Shenzhen on Friday night and stay overnight ➡️ Get up early on Saturday to watch the sunrise at the observatory ➡️ Take photos at Xichong No. 4 Beach ➡️ Rest at the hotel ➡️ Swim at Dongchong Beach ⛰️ Observatory Get up at 4:00 am, put on some makeup, and drive from the hotel to the No. 4 Beach parking lot. It was still dark when we arrived, so remember to bring a flashlight 🔦. There was no shuttle bus in the morning, so we had to walk for more than 30 minutes on an empty stomach, up a steep slope, and feeling a little out of breath. We only made it about 1/4 of the way. When we arrived, there were many people sleeping on the ground. Many people had already found a spot on the boardwalk or halfway up the mountain. I suggest finding a spot at the corner of the stairs on the boardwalk. It's a little dangerous to go up the mountain... After watching the sunrise, we walked down and took some photos. The boardwalk is not very long. We took a speedboat 🚤 to No. 4 Beach. Tips: Check the weather in advance on the Lijing Weather app ☁️ If there are few clouds, you can usually see the sunrise 🌅 🏖️ No. 4 Beach After arriving by speedboat, we went to the parking lot to put down our things. It was about 7:00 am, so we bought tickets to No. 4 Beach. Although it was cloudy 🌊 the sea was not particularly blue. But there are many good places to take photos! The photos turned out great! The best part is that there was no one there! And it wasn't very sunny. There was no need to wait in line to take photos. Then we went to the sea to kick the water and left. The sea was still cold at this time, but there were also many people surfing 🏄. Tips: Carefully choose a dress that matches the venue. A long dress looks very vacation-like! Very satisfied! 🌊 Dongchong Beach We rested at the hotel until about 5:00 pm. There was a traffic jam at Jidiaosha, so we gave up. There was a small traffic jam at Xichong, but no traffic jam at Dongchong! The beach was also very clean, but it wasn't the kind of internet-famous jelly sea. There were many people in the middle of the beach, but very few people on the sides! You can also go to the sea. But the beach was already a little cold at this time, so you can go earlier. Many people brought their dogs. We saw a beautiful sunset. Tips: Last year, we went to the mountain on the right side of the beach. Many people went there to take wedding photos. The view of Dongchong Beach was really beautiful!
