✨ Just an hour away from Shenzhen! I've discovered Guangdong's version of the Glass Sea 🌊

Only 5 kilometers from Shenzhen! This hidden gem of an island is such a delightful surprise ⛱️ Who would have thought that right next to Shenzhen lies a dreamy island with crystal-clear waters? Sanmen Island, just a 15-minute boat ride from Shenzhen's Dongyong Pier⛴️, is almost untouched by commercial development, preserving its pristine natural beauty. It's the perfect healing sanctuary to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. On sunny days☀️, every snapshot you take here is Instagram-worthy! The water is so clear you can see the bottom, and the fine, white sand is absolutely stunning for photos. What can you do here? 🎉 Sanmen Island's beach is nestled in a bay, making the water exceptionally calm and ideal for various water activities: 🛶 Snorkeling / Jet skiing / Banana boat rides 🏄‍♀️ Kayaking / Water trampolines / Aromatherapy boat rides ⛺ Beach camping / Pier barbecues / Watching the sunrise and sunset 🪨 Exploring abandoned air-raid shelters / Hiking along coastal cliffs 🎣 You can even go fishing or foraging by the sea! Whether you want to relax or get active, Sanmen Island has it all! ⚠️ Tips to avoid pitfalls: 👉 The island is minimally developed, so hotel conditions are basic (not ideal for neat freaks). 👉 Bring your own snacks and drinks, as supplies on the island are limited. 👉 Make sure to visit on a sunny day! The water looks dull and gray on cloudy days. 🌌 Advanced experience: Camp on the beach and stargaze at the Milky Way—don’t forget mosquito repellent! 💡 My experience: This place is breathtakingly beautiful!! The water is cleaner than Shuangyue Bay by far. The best part is how few people there are, folks—every photo you take looks like a National Geographic cover.
