It takes 150 minutes to hike, and you should allow 5 hours for the whole journey. Opening hours: 6:00–16:00 (Security guards will start to dissuade you from climbing the mountain at 15:00) 2⃣Small Loop Route The whole journey is 10 km.

Walk to the right for more than ten minutes, and you can take your kids to the ranch to feed the sheep. 3. Haibeiwan Beach and Sapphire Beach are nearby, so pay attention to safety when playing.

There are sheep everywhere! It looks like a scene from a fairy tale. It takes less than 2 hours to drive here from the city center. It seems that not many people know about this place yet. There weren't many people when we went. The park has a photography base and facilities that are free to use. It's perfect for taking photos. We went on the weekend and stayed in Dapeng for 2 nights. There is also Qiniang Mountain nearby where you can go hiking (you need to get up early to go). But if you just want to go to the Geopark to take photos, you can go there and back in one day.

Navigate to the geological park and you'll find it! There are lots of delicious farmhouses nearby! Parking is also very cheap! Free admission! Commercial photography is subject to a fee! Other than the mosquitoes, there's nothing else to complain about... The weather is clear and it's definitely worth a second visit! There are streams, camping is possible, there are flocks of sheep, and the air is good! It's just that we didn't see any boats or treehouses, we'll look for them next time.

Shenzhen's Children's Day is best spent at Dapeng Geological Park, where the Dapeng Geological Museum is nestled against Qiniang Mountain, also the location of the Qiniang Mountain trailhead. Shenzhen's summer is too hot for hiking, making the geological museum a perfect spot for a walk with the kids. Not only is it free, but the indoor air conditioning is also very cool, and you can learn a lot about geography and the history of the Earth's evolution. You'll also get to know many different types of minerals. Behind the museum, the park's forest is home to various dinosaur models.
