The park opens at 10 a.m. and closes at 10 p.m., making for a packed and fulfilling day. Despite the high entrance fee, the food inside felt underwhelming. Pre-prepared dishes and hard rice made for a disappointing dining experience, while water was a hefty 8 yuan per bottle.
The scenery is nice and it's in the city. However, there's a roller coaster next to the pirate ship that's under repair, so the smell of paint and formaldehyde is quite strong. The food is delicious and the drinks there are very cost-effective.

There were so many animals to see and interact with. As soon as you enter, you'll start riding the miniature train. It's convenient for bringing the elderly along. There are plenty of trees, so it's not too hot and it's a cool place. Most importantly, you can have a full day. There's a place to sit. When you're tired and want to eat, there's only instant noodles and sausage. So next time, I'll definitely bring some food for a picnic. 😙
Many signs in the park advertise scheduled tours on weekends and holidays, but they don't. Furthermore, the admission price is still too high. However, the animals are given ample space to roam, which is considered quite humane.

It was a fantastic trip! The airport pick-up and drop-off staff were very helpful, and we walked around the hotel several times without complaint (parking is difficult). The room was clean and centrally located, making it easy to get around. We also had swimming 🏊♀️ and a gym!
💁♀The hotel has considerate service, and the staff is warm and friendly, always greeting every guest with a smile. Whether it is checking in or asking questions, they can answer patiently, making people feel the warmth of home. 💕
In short, Vienna Hotel left a deep impression on people. The comfortable accommodation environment, rich breakfast, convenient location and thoughtful service make people feel the warmth of home during the trip. 💕 I strongly recommend everyone to come here to experience it! 😉 I believe you will also fall in love with this charming hotel. 💖

I was lucky enough to buy a ticket at the manual window when I arrived at Shekou Port. They said that there was a temporary additional ferry at 17:30, so I chose it decisively. The time period was really great, with night views and sunsets.
The tour was very convenient, the route instructions were clear, and the service attitude was very good. The interactive activities on the cruise ship were full of atmosphere, and the magic show was shocking and magical. The most exciting thing was watching the vast ocean on the deck and crossing the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macao Bridge at close range. As a Chinese, I am extremely proud!

Xiaomeisha is still very good. Dameisha is cheap, but there are too many people and there is no play experience. Although Xiaomeisha charges a fee, there are few people going out to play. Everyone certainly doesn't like crowds. The travel experience is very good.
Dameisha has an acceptable number of people because of the fee. The people are of high quality, the beach is clean, the sand is fine, and the seawater is good. There is a MGM hotel by the sea. I will stay at this hotel next time if I have the chance, so that I can go to the beach in the morning and evening. The road is quite congested, and it took an hour and a half to get here from Longgang Bantian. People are still coming here at 5 pm, and it is estimated that it will be crowded in the evening.

🎫 Admission: Free, free, free❗️ (reservations are required during holidays)
📷 Photo Spots 📷
1️⃣ The corner of the boardwalk is a great spot for photos!
2️⃣ At the end of the boardwalk, take in the stunning photos from the stairs down.
3️⃣ At the bend at the top of the boardwalk
4️⃣ Take photos down the bike path, where you can capture the boardwalk and the ocean.
5️⃣ The beach at Seaside Park 🏖️ Under the coconut trees

The boardwalk is the most photogenic spot! Every snap is a masterpiece. An hour or so of walking and snapping is enough. Try to find the perfect spot!
Dameisha Beach Park is a provincial AAAAA-level tourist attraction with convenient transportation.
It has hosted numerous cultural events, including the 2013 Shenzhen Dameisha International Kite Festival, the "Flying with Dreams" event, the 26th World University Games Beach Volleyball Tournament in 2020, the opening ceremony of the 20th Shenzhen Gold Coast Tourism Festival in 2021, and the 2023 Strawberry Music Festival.
In April 2022, the "Shenzhen Dameisha Beach Park Overall Ecological Restoration Project" was selected as one of the top ten examples of land space ecological restoration in Guangdong Province's second national land space ecological restoration project. Planning and design for Dameisha Beach Park began in late 1998, with construction largely completed in May 1999. It officially opened on June 18th and is now overflowing with visitors.
In 2017, with the growth in visitor numbers and demand, Dameisha Beach Park underwent a comprehensive renovation and upgrade, resulting in a significant increase in visitor satisfaction.
In 2018, the park was severely damaged by Typhoon Mangkhut, and reconstruction began in 2019.
Dameisha Beach Park, centered around Fengxin Square and Lianyi Square, is divided into three skywalks and four smaller parks. The three bridges are Fengxin Bridge, Central Bridge, and the Mountain and Sea Sunrise Pier. The four smaller parks are the Ecological Restoration Park, Cultural Heritage Park, Core Park, and Seaview Park. Other attractions include the Eternal Stone, the seven flying figure sculptures on the eastern beach, and the Wishing Tower in Fengxin Square. Dameisha Beach Park is a great place for leisure and tourism, and I highly recommend it.

I brought my kids here and entered the park at 9:30 in the morning and played until 3:30 in the afternoon before going to the Seaside Park. There are still many marine animals. The air conditioning is a bit cold. You can bring a small thin jacket with you. Shenzhen is still quite sunny in September. I bought a ticket for the Ocean World and can enter the Seaside Park for free from 15:00 to 18:00 in the afternoon. It is a one-way street. Overall, it feels suitable for bringing kids.

Shenzhen Bay Park faces the vast ocean, offering breathtaking views. Lined with lush greenery, the park offers fresh air and a high concentration of negative ions, making every breath a gift from nature. Enjoy strolling, jogging, cycling, and more, making it a popular destination for leisure and entertainment for both locals and tourists.
Shenzhen Bay Park | A Seaside Leisure Spot Directly Accessible by Metro 🌊
If you want to enjoy the ocean without having to travel far, this is the place for you! The ocean is right outside the metro, and the long coastline is perfect for walking and cycling. Across the street is Tin Shui Wai, Hong Kong. On a clear day, you can even see the windows of the upper floors. The weather is perfect after 4 PM, when there's still wind and no sun, and you can often spot egrets strolling along the mudflats.
Sunset is especially soothing, with the entire sea a golden red. It can be a bit crowded on weekends, but it becomes quieter once you head towards the mangroves.

Good Vibes! Lots of quirky independent stores and bookshops. A nice hub for a weekend wander (Sorry, I didn’t take many pictures 🤦🏻♀️)
The tickets I bought on Double Eleven were very cost-effective. I went there with my friends. The scenery, trains and cable cars were all fun, but many of the entertainment facilities were too old and not open. The water show was good and the animals were also very enjoyable to watch.
