Lively village build 600 years ago

#timetotravel A step back in time.. beautiful ancient walled city just a little more than one hour drive from Shenzhen if traffic is good. We walked around a few hours in the morning and you can get a pretty good idea of how the traditional life would have been like. The small city is very well preserved and you can walk around and really feel lost in time. There are several traditional snack shops and lots of cute cafes ☕️ #dapeng #trip #instatravel

Surfing village

#timetotravel There is a small surfing town with beautiful beaches and lots of small boutique hotels and coffee shop in Dapeng. It really feels like being in some exciting island somewhere outside of China. But in reality it’s a few hours dive east of Shenzhen. We have been here several times over the years and also stayed at one of the cute hotels just at the beach. You can play with your SUP here or simply rent one. During the summer months the temperature by the beach is actually quite warm. The little town is full of streets and alleys and each time we come we find something new. The area is also nicely decorated with wall murals all over the place. #shenzhen #dapeng #instatravel #trip #beachlife

Amazing cliff in Dapeng, Shenzhen

Yangmeikeng The cliff. I have actually been here in 2018 and at that time there was no one there at all. But I guess this place has been discovered now and is a major hotspot. Although I came on a Friday morning there was a good amount of people there. To go there from the tourist entrance I was approached by a boat ticket lady and was tempted to take the boat out although it is actually supposed to be a beautiful walk to get there as well. The boat ride was pleasant and let us off by a small beach. From there I found Alypay electrical bike to take to to the hot spot itself that was another kilometer away maybe.. the cliff is amazing and well worth a trip. The water was clear and they sky a bit mystical but it was a sunny day. To go back I took the golf car that was less than half of the price of the boat. After the cliff I went to one of the instagram friendly coffee shops and had lunch on the rooftop. It was a beautiful day and even though I was wearing sun lotion I got a bit burned on the places that I had missed. There were a few more coffeeshops nearby and lots of seafood restaurants that is perfect for lunch or dinner if you plan to go here from downtown Shenzhen#awesomepic #2023travelwish #shenzhen #Yangmeikeng #dapeng

Dapeng vacation

Dapeng is small village east from Shenzhen. If you are taking train closest railway station is Pingshan Railway Station. From there you can take Didi for around 30 minutes ride. You have many options for accommodation, from hotels to some local apartments. Dapeng is famous by fortress. It was built in 1394 to protect from pirates. Today it is protected by Shenzhen government and you can enjoy and explore for free. On the second picture you can see name of the restaurant, I recommend you to go there. Food is so tasty and it's located at east side of fortress. Around Dapeng peninsula you have few nice beaches, you can explore them one by one, each of them have something interesting. #beachlife #nationalpark #dapeng #shenzhen #china #fortress

Dapeng Fortress is a square military fort in Shenzhen. Many buildings date to the Qing Dynasty, with a few survivals from the Ming. The narrow cobbled streets and quaint stone houses are home to many cafés and small shops. A former grainery is home to a small museum about the Chinese navy; it has few displays and no English (free). You can go to the top of the East Gate (东门，Dōngmen) for a good view as well as a 3D map of the old town inside the gatehouse. Outside the old town there is also a temple (东山寺, Dongshansi) and a botanical garden (40 yuan), which we didn't visit this time. The fortress is not very big but there are many narrow streets so you can spend a couple of hours wandering around. You could easily combine a visit here with a trip to one of the beaches on the Dapeng Peninsula. Cost: Free entry; typical tourist area prices for food and drinks Good for: history lovers, photography, coffeeshops Accessibility: Cobblestone streets and stone steps; some areas not wheelchair accessible #urbanexplorer #springblossomshenzhen #lightthecity #springblossoms #fortress #history #oldtown #photography #nofilter #flowers #temple #shenzhen #guangdong #dapeng
