Jiao Chang Wei Weekend Trip

Your ultimate guide to Shenzhen's Jiao Chang Wei! Jiao Chang Wei, a popular seaside destination in Shenzhen, has always been a favorite. But how can you make your trip both relaxing and enjoyable? Here's a super practical guide for your Jiao Chang Wei getaway! 1. Transportation Outbound: Take the high-speed train from Shenzhen North Station to Pingshan Station, a quick 16-minute ride costing only ¥16. From Pingshan Station, take Subway Line 16 to Yanzilu Station. Finally, a ¥30 taxi ride will take you directly to Jiao Chang Wei. The whole journey is easy, convenient, and stress-free. Return: Enjoy a delicious mushroom hot pot at Yitian Holiday World. After a satisfying meal, head to Pingshan Station and take a 20-minute high-speed train back to Shenzhen North Station, concluding a perfect trip. 2. Things to Avoid 1. Jiao Chang Wei beach is relatively small. If you go on a cloudy day, the photos won't turn out well, and the scenery will appear grayish. Also, Pengcheng seafood is quite average, so it's not recommended to go there specifically for it. 2. If you encounter middle-aged men or women soliciting customers on the road, ignore them. Smile and say "I've already eaten," then walk away quickly to avoid unnecessary trouble. 3. The weather by the sea is unpredictable, so be sure to bring sunscreen and an umbrella. If there's a rainstorm warning, find a safe place to take shelter immediately! 3. Itinerary 15:00 Stroll through the old town and capture artistic photos Step into the old town, where Hakka houses with blue bricks and gray tiles stand in an orderly fashion, each brick and tile telling a historical story. You might stumble upon bougainvillea blooming like waterfalls in the alleys—perfect for taking stunning photos. 17:00 Try the CCTV-recommended Lao Chen Yao Ji Free-range chicken wrapped in tin foil with a subtle lotus leaf fragrance, the chicken is tender and juicy. Paired with a serving of Hakka stuffed tofu, it's a foodie's dream come true, guaranteed to whet your appetite. 19:00 Enjoy a free live music performance by the sea In the beach bars, folk singers perform heartfelt songs. Sip a mojito while enjoying the gentle sea breeze—it's the ultimate chill experience! 4. Return Trip Surprise The highlight is on the way back! Don't miss the mushroom hot pot at Yitian Holiday World next to Pingshan Station. We randomly chose the "Wild Mushroom" broth, and it was surprisingly delicious! A pot filled with various mushrooms, such as porcini, Termitomyces, and Dictyophora, dipped in a chili and soy sauce mixture—the taste is simply amazing, and we were still savoring it on the high-speed train! 5. Photo Spots South Gate Wall of the old town: The perfect spot for overlooking the entire old town. Colorful graffiti walls in the alleys: Full of artistic flair and creativity, these are popular photo spots with a high success rate. The water activities on sunny days are also worth experiencing. We'll definitely come back to try them when the weather is clear. Save this guide, pick a weekend, and embark on a spontaneous seaside adventure!
