[2025 Shenzhen Attraction] Travel Guide for Shekou Port (Updated Apr)

Hi EXPATS ! The summer is approaching. Have you discovered the Shekou Bay in Shenzhen? When the weather is too hot the bay offers great sea views. 🌊🌊 #discoverchina #views Shekou is a modern district in the city of Shenzhen. Southern China has modernized this area for international exchange and communication. This area has food and drink, entertainment, arts and modern culture, sea sports and night life activities. Multicultural groups can go to Shekou Seaworld to mingle with international friends. There are plenty of lounges or open areas on the boardwalk to sit and talk through the day. The views from the board walk are open. It’s a soothing place to experience the waves of the bay. If you’re into this type of environment I would suggest you stay until sunset. The light is absolutely amazing. 🏃🏻♂️Travelers from HongKong can get to Shekou from Shekou Port. There are ferries linking the two locations. Other options include the High-speed rail or the metro system. Varying prices will happen according to your choice of transit. The high-speed rail is my recommendation for ease and comfort.

#ShenzhenItinerary Walking into the Shekou Industrial Zone, this land that carries the historical memory of reform and opening up seems to be floating in time. The low-key yet industrial-style buildings record an era known for innovation and breakthroughs. Stepping onto the dock of Shekou Sea World, feeling the sea breeze, you can almost hear the voices of thousands of workers working hard to realize their dreams in the early days of reform. The most shocking thing in Shekou Industrial Zone is the stone tablet engraved with "Time is money, efficiency is life". These brief words contain the fiery power of the times. Walking along the street, it is not difficult to see that the former factory buildings have now become creative parks, and the former busy port has now transformed into a modern urban oasis, demonstrating the fusion of new and old. As the sun sets, the sea surface of Shekou is covered with golden waves. This place is not only the birthplace of industry, but also a testing ground for reform, full of infinite possibilities. Every step is an echo of history and a prelude to the future.

Decided for a short trip to Shenzhen. Stayed over at Futian and Nanshan. For shopping, would recommended Futian more as Nanshan is more towards chic and relaxing views.

Yes!! We landed in Shenzhen and headed straight to the high speed metro line 11 (one of the fastest underground lines in the world). This took us to Futuan Station in the center of Shenzhen in just a few minutes, where we hopped on the high speed rail line that took us to Hong Kong in just 15 minutes!! It was like living in the future. We had an amazing holiday in HK, and then travelled back to Shenzhen via ferry from Hong Kong’s central piers, arriving at SheKou port where there were zero queues at the border, and head on yet another metro line to our final hotel in Seaworld, which is 5 minutes away from the ferry terminal, before flying back home.#couplestrip #travel #myitinerary #train #plane #ferry #chinatransit #china #travelinginchina

#深圳景点 There is a seaside coffee shop in Shenzhen where I can lie down for a whole day! As soon as you step into the Exit Babylon space, it's like you've instantly moved to another city for vacation. It's full of greenery and romance, and every corner exudes a lazy atmosphere. 🍃 There were few people in the store in the morning. I picked a favorite book from the bookcase, ordered a cup of iced coffee, and sat by the window. On one side, there was the rustling sound of turning pages, and on the other side, there was the gentle sound of waves caressing the beach. The autumn breeze blew from time to time, and the sense of comfort was directly maximized. This store has three floors, and each floor has super clean toilets, so it's completely fine to stay there for a whole day. It also has a meditation space, but reservations must be made in advance. Don't worry, moms, there is a tree hole play space exclusively for babies, so you no longer have to worry about taking care of your children and disturbing others. 📍The location is in Shekou, Shenzhen. Parking on the roadside does not require a ticket. The business hours are 9:30-21:00. You have to walk through the restaurant to enter the store~ If you want to find a chill place to relax on the weekend, this is definitely the best choice. Hurry up and grab a coffee partner!

Hong Kong has fishing ports, Chaoshan has fishing ports, Xiamen has fishing ports, and today we are at Shekou Fishing Port in Shenzhen. The most captivating scene is the fish auction at dawn, where the boat captains shout prices in the Chaoshan dialect, and the silver fish dance their last dance in plastic basins. You can buy a freshly caught yellow croaker and have it cooked on the spot at a nearby food stall for just 10 yuan. In the evening, watch the sunset sink behind the bridge piers of the Yanjiang Expressway from the breakwater, while the silhouette of fishing boat masts is accompanied by jazz music from the 'Sea World' concert hall. Here, the old and new Shenzhen resonate in a wonderful harmony.
