Spectacular | Observatory | Sunrise

| Observatory | Sunrise. The most precious thing in life is the surprise brought by nature. After living in Shenzhen for nearly 30 years, I discovered that this city can also see the starry sky and romantic sunrise at the same time. I went with like-minded friends. We set off from Nanshan at 2:00 am, picked up friends in OCT and Yantian along the way, and arrived at the observatory parking lot at 4:45 am. We started hiking at 4:50 am, arrived at the sea-view plank road at 5:17 am, arrived at the top of the plank road at 5:30 am, the sky was slightly bright at 5:42 am, the sky was bright at 6:00 am, and the sun rose at 6:20 am. The clouds were thick that day, and I thought I couldn't see the sunrise, but I was lucky! It still appeared in the gap between the clouds! At this moment, I feel that the world is full of beauty! Tips for going to the observatory: If you want to watch the sunrise and take pictures, you need to reserve a spot in advance. It is recommended to go to the sea-view plank road at 5:00 am. No reservation is required for midnight departure. Drive to "Xichong Beach No. 4 Beach Parking Lot" (the parking fee is a bit expensive, 30 yuan for 3 hours). After leaving the parking lot, you will see Luckin Coffee, and next to it is the parking area for the shuttle bus, but there is no shuttle bus at night. You can choose to walk up the mountain or there will be an electric car. (20 yuan per person) It is recommended to walk, because you don't need to walk for a long time, you can sweat and take beautiful photos (but you have to climb uphill to go up the mountain). It is very dark along the way up the mountain, and there are no street lights. It is recommended to go with others for safety. Please be sure to look up during this journey! You will see the stars and the sea! About going down the mountain You can return along the original road along the slope, or you can go down the stairs along the sea-view plank road to the cliff pier, and you can take a speedboat to the No. 4 parking lot (shuttle bus), 50 yuan per person. There is McDonald's and Luckin Coffee at the foot of the mountain, which opens at 6:30 am. Watching the sunrise all night is very tiring. But I really feel nature at this moment. What it brings me is the vitality of freedom I yearn for.
