I don't know if you have seen the aerial video of the newly opened sea viewing promenade in Dapeng? The white viewing platform is very beautiful and attractive.
I went to Dapeng to see the sea as the weather in Shenzhen turned clear. On the spur of the moment, the nearby Beizaijiao lighthouse, Xiaomeisha beachfront stacks again. Although it is sunny and rainy, but the blue sky and white clouds and the sea, is always the most beautiful with ah!
01 About the Greenway
When I did my homework, I found that there was a lot of conflicting information on the internet about both the mode of transportation and the length of the greenway, and I was confused. As a strict Virgo, after this personal practice, finally completely clear. So this is probably the most accurate and informative guide on the net, so if you want to go, look carefully!
Name: Dapeng Bay Coastal GreenwayTotal length: 4.35 kilometers
Route: Rose Coast Tourist Resort - Golden Beach Tourist Resort - Xi Chung Resort - Sea Viewing Promenade - -Pui Chai Kok Beach
Newly opened section: "Sea Viewing Promenade" near the Xichong Resort, a section of the mountains and the sea, beautiful scenery of the sea trestle, one-way about 2 kilometers, with a number of viewing platforms, take pictures of good-looking, is considered to be the essence of the entire route. Many videos are shot here, but the text is wrong, mistakenly thinking that this section represents the entire 4.35 kilometers of the coastal greenway around Dapeng Bay.

Arrive at the white viewing platform at the end, follow the road and continue on, it takes about 20 minutes to reach the Overseas Chinese Cemetery, next to the Lookout Library/Pui Chai Kok Lighthouse/Small Plum Sha Seaside Walkway.
Walk the 1.65 kilometers of stunning sea view trestle and then continue to walk to Xiaomeisha Metro Station.
Construction is still underway near Siu Mui Sha and the roads are muddy.
That is: from the end of the sea promenade - Beizaijiao lighthouse - XiaoMeiSha beach stack - XiaoMeiSha subway station. This is a long way to come to the beach, the "Rim of Dapeng Bay Coastal Greenway" + "Xiaomeisha waterfront trestle / back Zaijiao lighthouse" two popular routes at once to hit the card, I chose this.

03 About the landscape
Personally, I think that each section of the Dapeng Bay Coastal Greenway is unique and beautiful. Compared to the Dameisha Seaside Trail, the scenery is not inferior, and it is quieter and more comfortable.
The starting point of the Rose Coast Resort, is a wedding theme shooting base, need tickets, we do not need to go in, get off the car and start hiking directly. Be sure to choose a sunny day to come to the beach oh!
The ocean view is somewhat obstructed, but the greenway is still great!
Passing by Vanke 17 Miles, which is said to be the most beautiful S-curves
No vehicles, shooting in safe conditions
Continuing up the hill, you'll reach the Golden Beach Resort
The view of the sea from this neighborhood was so beautiful that I stayed for a long time to look at it
Looking across the water, the red arrow is the "sea view promenade".
Keep walking, the next stop is the "Kai Chung Resort".
The greenway along the way is in good condition, only a section of roughly 200 meters near Xichong Primary School - Xichong Resort is on the roadside, which is slightly inferior.
The entrance to the Kai Chung Resort to the Sea View Promenade is posted again! I was looking for a while before I confirmed the route. Because it's new, there were also several people on site who were confused and didn't know how to get there.
Officially enter the sea view promenade, this section of the essence is really beautiful
Unfortunately, as we moved forward, the hairy rain came and became too fast!
I saw someone filming, I didn't recognize them, but I heard the director shouting behind me, "Hurry up and get an umbrella for the actor!"
Newly renovated white cloud bridge
Arrived at the end of the white observation deck, should be the most beautiful scenery, but encountered dark clouds rolled, but fortunately back to Xiaomeisha and began to blue sky.
Following the third option in "02 Route Options" above, I walked with a passerby to the Lookout Library (passing by the cemetery) and prepared to see the Pui Chai Kok Lighthouse again.
The walking route is shown in green
Truth be told, small plum sand beach stacks and the back of the Cape lighthouse, the water is clear and sandy, every time I come to the sea and sky will be lamented the beauty of the scenery. From here back to Xiaomeisha subway station, it is very close!
[Reminder]
1, to take good photos and enjoy more beautiful scenery, you must choose a sunny day to come over.
2, holidays are not recommended to come to Yantian and Dapeng, crowded, congestion, collapse of the rhythm. If you want to come to the weekend, it is recommended to get up early as I do, take the subway at 6:00 -7:00, about 3 hours to finish, at noon before the army of people have returned to the city. Of course, if you come on a weekday, you'll have the best experience with the least amount of people.
3, take pictures to choose the smooth light, this is the most basic reason out of the movie. That is to say:
When you start hiking in the morning, you have to choose to start from the Rose Coast, toward the Golden Beach, Xichong Resort, Sea Viewing Promenade, and end at the Xiaomeisha Seaside Trail. Because the morning is smooth light, that is, the light shines behind you, how to shoot all the light.
If you start hiking in the afternoon, you have to choose the start of the Xiaomeisha Beach Trail and head towards the Sea Viewing Promenade, Xichong Resort, Golden Beach and Rose Coast. This direction is only Shun Kwong in the afternoon.
The choice of the direction of light is a very important part, otherwise your photos are all backlit and dark, and not many of them can be seen.
4, beach hiking is naturally sun, sunscreen clothing, sunscreen hats, small fans, anti-mosquito water, water, food, charging treasure a can not be less.
5, along the way is not a lot of restrooms. Xiaomeisha subway station, exit C has a restroom, sea-watching promenade to walk to the sea-watching library in the process of the restroom.
