Shenzhen's winter is legendary! A romantic hit of seagulls and sunset

Shenzhen's winter is legendary! A romantic hit of seagulls and sunset 🌅 🚇 Transportation Guide Subway users, just go for it! Exit B of Linhai Station on Line 5, an 8-minute walk directly to the main photo spot; a 10-minute bike ride from Exit D of Haiyue Station on Line 2, super pleasant with the sea breeze~ For self-driving, navigate to "Shenzhen Bay Park North Bay Egret Port Parking Lot", 10 yuan/hour. During peak season (Nov-Mar), it's recommended to arrive before 2 PM to grab a parking spot! Take bus M123/Binhai Leisure Express to Sports Plaza Station, get off and you're right at the seaside boardwalk, even those bad with directions can easily find it~ 🎫 Ticket Guide Enjoy the whole experience for free! It's recommended to bring your own bread crumbs for feeding seagulls (whole wheat bread from the supermarket is 5 yuan/bag), buying on-site costs 10 yuan, you'll be a master at saving money~ For those who want to take a cruise to chase the sunset, it's 200 yuan/person including drinks. Book 1 day in advance via the official account, the unobstructed deck is perfect for photos! Picnics on the lawn and walks on the boardwalk along the way are all free, low-cost romance is maximized~ 📸 Photo Spots (with address) 📍 Shenzhen Bay Park North Bay Egret Port: Inside Shenzhen Bay Park, Binhai Avenue, Nanshan District, Shenzhen City. This is the main gathering spot for seagulls! Every year from November to March of the following year, thousands of seagulls gather to "winter", you can feed them by hand (be gentle, don't scare the little darlings away). Take backlit photos of seagulls gliding over the sea, the bokeh creates an amazing atmosphere~ 🛤️ Recommended Route 3-hour romantic stroll: North Bay Egret Port (feed seagulls and take close-ups) → Walk along the seaside boardwalk (enjoy sea views + reed marshes) → Liuhua Mountain Park (take portrait photos) → Shenzhen Bay Bridge Observation Deck (wait for sunset) → Sports Plaza (enjoy night lights). For those short on time, rent a shared bike and cycle along the Binhai Promenade, chasing seagulls and the sunset, the wind will be filled with the taste of freedom~ 🍜 Food Recommendations Nearby food options are a sure bet, no regrets: ① "A Shu Congee House" (Shenzhen Bay store) seafood congee 38 yuan/bowl, incredibly fresh; ② "Chen Pengpeng Braised Goose" braised goose platter 58 yuan, so fragrant with rice you'll lick the plate clean; ③ "Heytea" sea salt cheese milk cap 22 yuan, a refreshing drink after getting tired from walking~ You can also bring your own snacks for a picnic on the lawn, eating while watching seagulls, pure bliss! 🏡 Accommodation Options For sleeping with the sea breeze, choose "The Mumian Shenzhen Bay", a 15-minute walk to the scenic area, with sea views from the window; for a budget-friendly option, choose "Home Inn" (Nanshan Science and Technology Park store), 160 yuan/night, clean and tidy, close to the subway station. Couples must try "Courtyard by Marriott Shenzhen Bay", sea view room + double breakfast, maximizing romance, a 10-minute drive away~ 💡 Travel Tips 1. Best Time: 15:00-18:30 (feed seagulls + wait for sunset), November to March of the following year is seagull season, don't miss it! 2. Outfit Suggestion: Light-colored clothes (white/beige/apricot) + scarf/hat, better for photos, remember to wear flat shoes as there's a lot of walking on the boardwalk~ 3. Feeding Guide: Use torn bread crumbs, do not feed salty foods (fried dough sticks/chips), protect the little darling seagulls~ 4. Photography Tips: Grab a spot 30 minutes before sunset, use your native camera + Live Photo mode to capture the dynamic beauty of flying seagulls~ 5. Essentials: The seaside is windy, bring a light jacket, ladies bring hair clips to keep hair tidy for photos~ Shenzhen's winter romance is all about seagulls and sunsets! Quickly save this and head out with your bestie or crush, every casual shot will be a blockbuster on your social media~ Do you need me to organize a "Seagull Season Daily Best Photo Spot Schedule" from this guide to precisely avoid crowds?
