I've fulfilled my wish to see seagulls without going to Kunming or Qingdao, right here in Shenzhen Bay

After seeing the seagulls in Kunming, I had planned to visit Qingdao next, but unexpectedly, I encountered the red-beaked seagulls from Siberia returning to Shenzhen Bay. What a stroke of luck! Unfortunately, I didn't bring a telephoto lens. If you don't cross the railing from the walkway, you have to take a long detour. By the time I walked back to where the seagulls were gathering, the sun was setting and there were fewer seagulls. Oh no! A bit of a regret, but I got to fully enjoy the sunset at Shenzhen Bay, which was stunningly beautiful. Let me share the hardcore strategy for seagull watching that I've summarized from my own regrets: 1Get there early! I arrived at 5 pm and ended up buying ice cream, darn it! 2It's best to bring a telephoto lens, but if you don't have one, arrive early to secure a good spot to either capture the seagulls in detail or in a blurred effect 3Besides seagulls, there are also many shovelers swimming on the water that you can photograph together 4Combine the seaside rocks and the distant Shenzhen Bay Bridge for your shots, with the rocks in the foreground and the bridge in the background 5There are two trees in the sea and another on the boardwalk, all with nice shapes, totally my cup of tea haha 6There are quite a few seagulls perched on the seaside rocks, and lots of people too hehe 7Behind is a park, other shooting scenes are shown in the pictures, or you can explore on your own Admission: Free Address: Shenzhen Bay Park Time: Recommended 3-5 pm Transportation: Exit C of Shenzhen Bay Park Station on Line 9 Precautions 1Do not feed the seagulls; 2The wind is strong by the sea after sunset, bring a coat if you plan to stay long; 3Choose good weather to visit, if the seagulls are not around, you can still enjoy a sunset
