Meisha Tip Mountain Climbing Route Guide
Meisha Mountain Cloud Sea Plaza, built on the hillside of Meisha Mountain, is the highest library in Shenzhen, and also the best viewing platform overlooking the mountains and sea of Yantian, Shenzhen. It is a good place to climb mountains and see the sea in Shenzhen, and one of the best places for hiking in Shenzhen. It is currently in a trial operation state and does not require a ticket. It is open to the public for free.
The fastest climbing route to the Cloud Sea Plaza only takes 30 minutes to reach, and the whole journey is a mountain climbing trail, to avoid getting lost, remember to bookmark it for those who have not been there yet!
Subway: Get off at Yantian Port West Station, choose B2 or A2 exit to transfer to Seafood Street Bus Station (2). Remember, it is Seafood Street Bus Station (2), there are multiple platforms at Seafood Street Bus Station, and they are far apart!
Bus🚌: Seafood Street Bus Station (2)
Self-driving🚗: Seafood Street Parking Lot
There is a special line to the Cloud Sea on weekends, 15/person, the boarding point is Yantian Port West Subway Station, Haishan Subway Station.
Starting from the bus station, you can reach the Spring Sea Library in about 100 meters. Cross the zebra crossing from the entrance of the library to the opposite side.

Hike with views to die for
Mei sha jian is a beautiful hike with sweeping ocean views located in the Yantian area.
The hike is pretty much all stairs, with periods of flat paved path in between. The stairs are steep and at times can smash the knees up. But the views are most definitely worth it.
You can see the Dameisha beach, ocean, and the Yantian cargo port (hugely impressive)
You can also see OCT EAST in detail with the train and the European style buildings as well as Longgang centre in the distance. With the wind blowing this is an incredible feeling.
What I like about this hike is the flora and fauna. It has a different feeling to some of the other mountains in SZ. The path is well signposted with only a few directions possible to take so getting lost here would be difficult. Head to the peak to get the best views and lots of pics.
I suggest going back down the way you came and end at Yantian Customs base. You can get a taxi from there back to the metro. When you get to the top you can see a long path of stairs below you, follow this to get onto the greenway and onto the highway
Start at Yantian road metro (line 8) and get a taxi this location. Follow the sign up to the top. After you have finished you can end at OCT EAST and get a taxi. Type this into map or into didi 山海大观观景台
No water on the trail bring enough
Its exposed to a lot of sunshine so bring sunscreen

🚗 Navigation: Sun Yat-sen Gengzi Uprising Sculpture Park
🚶 Route Guide:
1. Navigate to Sun Yat-sen Gengzi Uprising Sculpture Park and park your car (no fine for roadside parking), then take a taxi to the Mountain and Sea Panorama trailhead (there is only one scenic platform toilet on the way, no supply and handwashing facilities during the climb). The entire tour is on footpaths (it is recommended to observe the weather in advance, you can overlook beautiful views such as the full panorama of Yantian Port, Dameisha, and the mountain trail known as the most beautiful sky ladder).
2. After a short rest at the summit, go down the other side, keep walking forward, and you will see road signs, one side is Tanxian Ancient Temple, and the other is the direction of Chaxi Valley, choose the direction of Chaxi Valley, keep walking until you reach Sun Yat-sen Gengzi Uprising Sculpture Park (visitors can learn about related history and culture here, play in the water, and more importantly, enjoy toilet services 😹).

Meisha Tip is just so beautiful! Why didn't anyone tell me earlier
【Hiking Routes】
There are three main trailheads:
1⃣️ Yantian Checkpoint Trailhead: Navigate to "Yantian Public Security Sub-bureau Patrol Police Brigade Special Duty Squad" to start the hike. Although this route is the longest and takes more time, the scenery along the way is beautiful and worth a try!
2⃣️ Chaxi Valley Trailhead: Navigate to Sun Yat-sen's Gengzi Uprising Sculpture Park and walk back 50 meters to start the hike. This is the only trailhead accessible by public bus. Take the Eastern Overseas Chinese Town 909 minibus and get off at the Laitragen Hotel.
3⃣️ Mountain and Sea View Trailhead: Navigate to the Mountain and Sea View Observation Deck. This is the fastest route to the summit and the one I took on this trip, more details on the strategy will follow.
【Hiking Strategy】
⭐️ Mountain and Sea View Route:
✨ Trailhead: After arriving at the Mountain and Sea View Observation Deck, you will see a sign that says "Such a Lovely Land" and walk forward 50 meters to find an inconspicuous trailhead. This route takes 1-1.5 hours, with medium difficulty, and consists entirely of steps.
🌄 Sunset Viewing Timing: It is recommended to arrive at the trailhead around 4:30 PM, reach the summit around 6 PM, and enjoy the sunset at 6:30 PM. If you like taking photos, you may want to reserve an extra half hour. You can check the weather forecast and plan to start 1.5-2 hours earlier.
🍔 Carry Snacks: It is suggested to bring some small bread or biscuits, and 1 liter of water (drink less because there are no toilets).
🌞 Remember Sun Protection: There is shade at the beginning, but almost no cover in the latter half. In addition to a hat and sunglasses, you can also carry a lightweight umbrella (it's not very windy up there).
【Descent Routes】
You can choose from the following three routes:
Option 1⃣️: Descend via the stone steps on the same route, which is the shortest in time. However, be sure to turn on a flashlight after dark for safety.
Option 2⃣️: Towards the reservoir direction (Chaxi Valley). If you want to watch the sunset, it is not recommended to take this route down, as the stairs are steep and the visibility is relatively dark, which is not very safe. After descending, you can take a taxi at Yantian Road subway station.
Option 3⃣️: Towards the reservoir direction (longer road name). The latter half of this route is all on a big road, taking about 1 hour in total, and is more comfortable to walk, but it is quite far. The lowest point is the Laitragen Hotel (where cars can be parked).

It is the third highest mountain in Shenzhen, with the Eastern Overseas Chinese Town on the left, Wutong Mountain on the right, the Yuanshan Scenic Area behind, and Yantian Port and Dameisha in front.

Tanxian Temple Trailhead
Mountain and Sea Grand View Viewing Platform Trailhead (2021.3.17)
You can park at the trailhead parking lot if driving. The round trip up and down the mountain takes 3 hours (if a landslide has closed the road and cars can't enter the parking lot, it is recommended to park in the nearby residential or villa area and then walk a few hundred meters to reach the trailhead.
Gengzi Uprising Sculpture Park Trailhead (2022.05.03)
You can park at the Chaxi Valley parking lot if driving, 5 yuan/hour + 3 yuan/hour. The round trip up and down the mountain takes 4 hours. It is suggested to stay at the summit until sunset to descend, as the sunset glow gives the scenery a thin veil of light.
🚉 Transportation Tips:
If not driving, it is recommended to enter from the Mountain and Sea Grand View Viewing Platform and exit from the Gengzi Uprising Trailhead (so you can take different routes and see different scenery) (of course, you can choose the route according to your own physical fitness and preferences).
