Shenzhen Seaside Observatory🌌 | Chase the Sunset + Watch the Stars, Free Check-in at the "Mountain and Sea Stargazing Spot"
Who would have thought! Found a hidden gem in Shenzhen where you can see the sea, stargaze, and capture mountain and sea sunsets all at once! This observatory in Dapeng even has a road that's a stunning scenic route~
✨ Reasons to Visit
1. Beautiful scenery, few people, high chance of great photos: Built on the edge of a cliff, the white building + blue sea is super healing. Take sunset photos at 4 PM, the sky turns orange, and every shot looks like a "tropical island blockbuster"!
2. Free and educational: The hall displays astronomical equipment, and if you're lucky, you can see sunspots; the outdoor boardwalk extends along the coast, walking in the sea breeze is very comfortable. No ticket required but you need to book in advance~
3. Perfect for a weekend short trip: Close to Xichong Beach, after visiting the observatory you can go to the beach to walk on the sand. Two places in one day, a very fulfilling itinerary!
🚗 Transportation & Booking Tips
- Booking: Tickets are released every Monday at 10 AM on "Yue Shen Wan Le Tong," 300 spots daily. If you don't get a reservation, you can still use the public boardwalk~
- Transportation: If driving, you need to book Dapeng access in advance on "Shenzhen Traffic Police"; subway + bus + shuttle is more convenient. Remember to wear comfortable shoes, as you need to walk a short distance on the boardwalk~
Don't stay home this weekend! Come here to see the sea, chase the sunset, and feel the romance of the universe~
