【Shenzhen’s Must-Visit New Landmark! Unlock Urban Trendy Fun at Happy Harbor】

🌊Recommended Highlights: 1. Bay Area Light Ferris Wheel: 128 meters high with 360° panoramic cabins, offering a sparkling view of Shenzhen Bay by day and transforming into a flowing rainbow light strip at night. VIP cabins can be customized for proposals, birthday parties, and other exclusive romantic moments. 2. Coastal Art Palace: The newly established cultural landmark Happy Theater opens on September 26. The premiere musical all-star concert extends the stage onto the sea, with the audience area intertwined with the Ferris wheel’s light and shadow, creating an audiovisual spectacle. 3. IP Carnival Feast: During the Dragon Boat Festival, the 85th Anniversary Tom and Jerry themed exhibition lands here, featuring giant cheese installations, animation-style cabins, and adorable character interactions, making it a joyful place for families with children. 4. Global Culinary Journey: The west shore gathers Michelin-starred restaurants like Demon Chef DEMONIA, while the east shore’s seaside restaurants offer sea view afternoon tea. There’s also a limited-time food street voucher deal: spend 59.9 to get 100 off. 5. Cyberpunk Nightscape: The “Kunpeng Dream” water show combines 3D projection and laser effects. The weekend 9:00 PM “Thousand Lights Fantasy Night” themed light show turns the Ferris wheel into a giant projection screen. 📜 In-Depth Guide: 🚇 Transportation Guide: - Metro Express: Line 5 Linhai Station Exit B2 leads directly to the Ferris Wheel Plaza, where the iconic “Bay Area Light” is immediately visible. Line 1 Xin’an Station Exit D is a 10-minute walk to the west shore commercial area. - Bus Connections: Take M235 or B932 to “Happy Harbor” station. On holidays, additional Ferris wheel holiday shuttle lines cover business districts like Bao’an Center and Yifang City. - Preferred Self-Drive: P1 parking lot (directly under the Ferris wheel) has ample spaces. Spend over 200 RMB to enjoy 2 hours of free parking.

The children’s playground provides supervised activities like desert gold digging and pottery making. 🍽️ Gourmet Map: - Must-Try Highlights: - Demon Chef DEMONIA: Molecular cuisine black truffle soup dumplings, bursting with juice the moment you bite through the thin skin. - NAYA·Asian Thai Cuisine: Tom Yum seafood boat served with pandan leaf sticky rice, a soul-stirring blend of sour, spicy, and coconut flavors. - Rongji Macau Pork Chop Bun: Michelin-recommended charcoal-grilled pork chop, crispy outside and tender inside with juicy richness. - Late Night Eats: - Walnut Music Tavern: Live band performances after 9:00 PM, signature roast chicken paired with craft beer, a perfect match for a tipsy night. - Old Bowl Club: Experience the chewy texture and rich chili aroma of Shaanxi noodles with the sizzling “biangbiang” sound. 📸 Photo Tips: - Golden Hours: - Early morning 6:30-7:30: Shoot the Ferris wheel and sunrise together at Celebration Plaza, using low-angle backlighting for a cinematic feel. - Dusk 18:30-19:30: Capture silhouettes at the reef area of Qianhai Performing Arts Park, using telephoto compression to emphasize the Ferris wheel’s grandeur. - Night 20:30-21:30: Shoot from the east shore skybridge to frame the Ferris wheel with the water show, using long exposure to capture fountain flow trails. - Creative Composition: - Zhongshuge Spiral Staircase: Use a wide-angle lens looking up, combining books and light to create geometric aesthetics. - Huawei Smart Life Pavilion Spiral Staircase: Use portrait mode and glass curtain wall reflections to create a floating effect. - Happy Harbor LOGO Wall: Use diagonal composition, capture jumping poses, and apply cyberpunk style color grading in post-production. ⚠️ Survival Guide: 1. Triple Sunscreen: SPF50+ sunscreen + cooling sleeves + fisherman's hat, carry a small fan to stay cool. 2. Tide Alert: Coastal walkway tide time is 3:00-5:00 PM, avoid the reef area during this period. 3. Off-Peak Tips: Weekend 10:00-12:00 is peak queue time for the Ferris wheel; weekdays or night sessions (after 7:00 PM) are recommended. 4. Emergency Kit: AED devices are available near Celebration Plaza and West Shore Customer Service Center. Lost children can be reported at the “Bay Area Light” broadcast station. 🎒 Backpack Checklist: - Essential Gear: Lightweight folding stool (to rest legs while queuing), waterproof phone pouch (must-have for water show interaction area), noise-cancelling headphones (to block crowd noise). - Photo Gear: Octopus tripod (fixed position at reef area), fill light stick (for night portrait lighting), polarizing filter (to eliminate water surface reflections). - Family Must-Haves: Portable folding stroller (for children’s mobility), picture book “The Sky of Shenzhen” (for parent-child reading while waiting), mosquito repellent patches (for coastal walkway). ✨ Itinerary Inspiration: Day 1: - 2:00 PM Huawei Smart Life Pavilion to experience full home automation → 4:00 PM Happy Castle Kids Park (climbing nets + slide combo) → 6:30 PM Sunset picnic at Qianhai Performing Arts Park → 8:00 PM “Kunpeng Dream” water show → 9:30 PM Tipsy night at Walnut Music Tavern.
