Hiking China's Most Beautiful Coastline: Dongxichong, Listening to the Breath of the South China Sea on Jagged Rocks

The most beautiful coastline walk in Shenzhen 🌊 The Dongxichong trek is definitely worth it! Although it made my legs weak, the scenery along the way was breathtaking, and every snap felt like a masterpiece 📸 📍 Shenzhen Astronomical Observatory Near the cliff top at Entrance No. 4, Xichong Beach, Xichong Community, Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province 【Opening Hours】Tuesday to Sunday 9:00-12:00 & 14:30-17:30 (last entry at 17:00) ✨ Highlights: 1⃣ Climb to the top of the observatory for a panoramic view of Dongxichong, with the winding coastline fully in sight 2⃣ Pass by multiple 360-degree viewing platforms along the way, where the sea shows a gradient of blue 3⃣ Look out to the drifting boats on the sea, perfect for capturing artistic shots ⚠️ Useful tips: - Be sure to wear comfortable sports shoes! The whole route takes about 3 hours, with many stairs and slopes - Take precautions against heat and sun; it’s recommended to bring more than 2 liters of water - The best time for photos is around 4 PM, when the light is soft and not too harsh - Nearby seafood stalls cost about 100 RMB per person; highly recommend trying the freshly caught wild tiger prawns
