❤️Recommended reason: The coastline of Shenzhen Dongxichong is located on the Dapeng Peninsula and is the most beautiful and classic coastal hiking route in Shenzhen; with Pingshan by the sea, mountains crisscrossing, a long coastline, and a complete development of coastal and marine erosion landforms such as beaches, islands, reefs, sea erosion rocks, caves, bridges, columns, etc., it is a must-visit coastal crossing route for Shenzhen outdoor activities. It has also been rated as one of the top ten most beautiful hiking routes in China by 'National Geographic Magazine'. 🗓Itinerary: In the morning, you can drive or join a group from the downtown area of Shenzhen, and it takes about two hours to arrive. This time I took the crossing route, starting from Dongyong Bridge and ending at Xichong No. 4 Beach, which took about 6 hours in total (depending on individual physical strength and pace, we took many breaks and spent a lot of time resting and taking photos) 🧳Preparation before departure: The weather is very hot for mountain climbing in June, especially after lunch, the temperature by the sea is really high, and the ultraviolet rays are strong, so remember to bring a sun hat, sunscreen or spray, and some heatstroke prevention items in advance. There will be many steep mountains that require the use of ropes and chains to descend, so it's best to prepare gloves in advance🧤, this is very important, otherwise your hands will be worn out after descending one mountain. After climbing a mountain, there is a rest point where they sell water, popsicles, and food, which will be a bit more expensive than usual, but still acceptable, for example, popsicles are 10 yuan for three, and MIZONE is 8 yuan per bottle. However, you can prepare a few bottles of water to bring with you before departure, hydration is very important‼️ Each rest point also has a tourist boat, if you want to give up halfway, you can choose to take the boat directly to the end, sharing a boat costs 50 yuan per person, or 300 yuan for a private boat. 📝Note tips: When you reach the end, there is an observatory nearby, which you need to book in advance (I didn't book so I didn't go up). There is also a shuttle bus station at the end, which costs 10 yuan per person and takes you directly to the exit, if you don't want to walk down, you can take this bus. Climbing mountains in summer really tests your perseverance, but Dongxichong is truly beautiful. All the above pictures are taken with the original camera without any filters or beauty effects, and every casual shot is a masterpiece, highly recommended!

Running through the east and west, the mountains and seas are connected throughout, and the sea and sky are the same color. It is a classic hiking route that Shenzhen people must check out. Hiking distance: 6KM Walking time: 4-5 hours Transportation: Take E11 to Nan'ao Street and transfer to M241 to the terminal Route guide: Tung Chung - Xichong, you can reach Xichong Observatory, or you can cross in reverse. Passing the beach, you can take a speedboat to Xichong Beach. The entry-level healing sea view and beautiful mountain scenery, bring your friends and go to the mountains and sea together! Warm reminder ①The whole journey is a mountain road at the end of the sea. Sometimes you have to step on rocks, so be sure to wear non-slip shoes~ Some sections of the trail have steep slopes and require the use of both hands and feet. Be sure to prepare gloves when climbing ropes and chains! ②The sun is quite strong at noon, so be sure to wear sunscreen and a sun hat to avoid sunburn! Because there are water supply points along the way, if you are tired, just carry 2 bottles of drinking water. You can replenish it appropriately during the journey. If you are too tired to walk the whole journey, you can take a speedboat to reach the end point of Xichong or return to the starting point. There are many speedboats in the bay and they can stop at any time~

The Dongxi Chong coastline is located in the Dapeng Peninsula of Longgang District, Shenzhen, and is one of Shenzhen's eight most beautiful coastlines, also rated by National Geographic magazine as one of the top ten most beautiful coastlines in China. The hike from Dong Chong to Xi Chong is about eight kilometers, half mountainous and half coastline, passing through Shenzhen's most beautiful 'Stairway to Heaven' - the Observatory. 🗓 Itinerary The hike from Dong Chong to Xi Chong passes through Guizi Jiao, Chuanbi Rock, and finally the Observatory, which is the highest point of the coastline with a broad view. You can choose to go up to the Observatory, where there is a minibus service area that takes you directly back to the entrance of Xichong Beach, or you can choose to continue hiking back to Xi Chong Beach) 🗺️ Crossing Route (Recommended from Dong Chong to Xi Chong) Straight crossing: Dong Chong ➡️ Xi Chong (More difficult, 8 hours including a visit to the Observatory) Reverse crossing: Xi Chong ➡️ Dong Chong (Relatively easier) Mid crossing: Xi Chong/Dong Chong ➡️ Shenzhen Observatory (Return from the Observatory) 📝 Tips It is best to choose from November to December for the cool autumn weather. The entire hike is exposed to the sun, and the path is rocky, so it is recommended to wear hiking shoes, hats, climbing gloves, sunglasses, sun protection gloves, face masks, band-aids, etc... There are a few simple supply stations along the way, with water, ice pops, and small snacks (ice pops are usually out of stock, especially in the hot summer), so you must bring at least two bottles of water, chocolate, compressed biscuits or beef jerky snacks... If you choose 'Mid crossing', there is a shuttle bus at Xi Chong No. 4 Beach parking lot that goes directly to the Observatory (Ticket 10/person, about 15 minutes), and finally return the same way to the Observatory station/take a boat back to No. 4 Beach (Boat ticket 50/person, about 8 minutes) Drive to Xichong No. 4 Beach parking lot, charter a car (80 yuan) or take a public bus (5 yuan) to Dong Chong, and start hiking back to Xichong Beach along the coastline.

Warm reminder, be sure to wear climbing shoes, gloves, because it's all big stones, wear a hat, always sweating, the sea breeze is quite strong The scenery is so beautiful, the view of the sea and the sky is really refreshing. Burying your head in climbing 🧗🏻‍♀️ but always challenging yourself, for those who do not usually exercise, this is quite difficult. But there are points in the middle where you can return to Dongyong by speedboat It's worth a visit

Second time hiking East-West Chong, familiar route, the scenery is still beautiful. The whole journey is about 7 kilometers, the difficulty level is two stars, but for people without hiking experience, this difficulty is a bit big, the narrow and steep sandstone mountain road and the irregular reef road on the coast are a bit challenging, need to be mentally prepared. Refer to pictures seven, eight, and nine. Some steep places were not photographed. The scenery along the way is stunning, worth going again and again. 📍Detailed address: Dapeng Peninsula, Shenzhen City, the starting point is from Dongyong Mangrove Wetland Park, the end point is Xiyong Beach, you can also climb up to the observatory and then go down. 📝Note tips: If possible, wear professional outdoor equipment.
