Qiniang Mountain, originally a place where fairies descended to the mortal world! Yangmeikeng, originally a place where the movie 'Mermaid' was filmed!

From the downtown area of Shenzhen to Qiniang Mountain and Yangmeikeng, here's a two-day and one-night travel guide! Qiniang Mountain Luliao Mountain Villa Yangmeikeng ⏳Travel Time: On the first day, we went to Qiniang Mountain first. We set off from the downtown area in the morning, took the subway and then the E11 bus. We started climbing at about 12:30 pm, and it took roughly over three hours to reach the summit. Because there was heavy fog at the summit, the security guards started to send people down at 4 pm. So we had to descend the same way we came up. On the second day, we took a boat to Luliao Mountain Villa, which is the filming base for Stephen Chow's 'Mermaid'. The round trip by boat is very quick. Basically, the round trip and sightseeing time takes about one hour. In the afternoon, we took a car back to the downtown area. 🚉Transportation Tips: You can take the E11 bus, which costs 10 yuan, to the Xin Da Bus Terminal, and then it's very convenient to take a taxi to the entrance of Qiniang Mountain or Yangmeikeng. (Since we needed to go to the homestay to drop off our luggage first, we took a taxi directly to the homestay.) 🌟Highlights: Qiniang Mountain: Legend has it that seven fairies visited here and were so enchanted by the scenery that they refused to return to heaven, thus turning into seven peaks. It took us over three hours to climb the mountain, and we didn't cross Dayan Top because there were security guards sending people down from the mountain in the afternoon, and safety is the most important! Yangmeikeng: The tranquil coastline makes one forget that this place is actually in Shenzhen. Every time I come to the calm seaside, listening to the rhythmic and undulating sound of the waves, I can't help but let my mind wander and my body relax. This is indeed rare for Shenzhen's working population. 📝Note tips: 1. It's best to start climbing Qiniang Mountain in the morning, not in the afternoon like we did. The morning sun is not as intense, and there is ample time to cross Dayan Top. However, it is really tiring because it's all stairs. It took us over five hours to go up and down the mountain. Highlight!!! There are no supply points on the mountain, so bring enough water and food!!!! 2. When going to Luliao Mountain Villa, there are many people selling boat tickets, usually around 50 yuan per person for a round trip. However, you can bargain, and you can generally get a round trip for about 30-40 yuan per person! 3. The nearby dining options are not recommended. When traveling, just make do with what you can find.
