[Shenzhen Mountain and Sea Trail Day Hike Guide]

🌟[Shenzhen Mountain and Sea Trail Day Hike Guide] Climb to the top of Dayan Peak, explore the filming location of the movie "The Mermaid", a symphony of mountains and sea! ⏰ Timeline: 7:00 Depart from Shenzhen city center > Self-drive navigation to "Yangmeikeng parking lot" or take E11 to Xinda Bus Terminal and transfer to M274 to Yangmeikeng Station > Weekend traffic restrictions require transfer to a shuttle bus at Judiao Beach (CNY 15/person) 9:00 Yangmeikeng hiking starting point > Walk 2 km along the coast along the Luk Zui Promenade coastal boardwalk > Check in at the same sea rails as "Spirited Away" at the Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club 10:30 Departure from the mountain entrance > Officially start Trail No. 5 (stone steps + dirt road throughout) > The altitude gradually increases, with viewing platforms every 0.5 km 12:00 Climb to the top of Dayan Peak > Shenzhen's third highest peak (801m) 360° viewing platform > Dapeng Bay on the left and the Pacific Ocean on the right, golden moments for drone aerial photography > Lunch recommendation: Bring your own sandwiches + fruit (no supplies on the top of the mountain!) 13:30 Downhill Luyan Science Trail > Cross the misty jungle trail (beware of wet moss) > Look across the sea to Hong Kong's Sam Mun Tsai Island from Viewing Platform No. 3 15:00 Arrive at Luk Zui Villa > Go straight to the Mermaid Cave where the movie "The Mermaid" was filmed 🎬 > Take photos of the famous scene of crashing waves along the wooden boardwalk 17:00 Return happy hour > Take a speedboat back to Yangmeikeng (CNY 40/person, very exciting!) > Or stroll along the 4 km rocky beach along the sunset coastline 📸 Popular photo spots: ✔️ Sea-eroded cave below the cliff restaurant ✔️ Heart-shaped reef formation on Luk Zui Avenue ✔️ Blue boatyard of Royal Hong Kong Yacht Club ⚠️ Lessons learned from blood and tears: You can prepare trekking poles, and 2,400 consecutive steps will teach you how to behave There are toilets only at Dayanding/Luk Zui Villa throughout the whole journey, so it is recommended to solve it before climbing the mountain The return speedboat stops running at 18:00. If you miss it, you need to walk for 1 hour to return 🎒 Equipment list: ▫️ At least 2L of water + salt pills (no supply stations along the way!) ▫️ Non-slip hiking shoes (the slope of some sections reaches 60°) ▫️ Windproof jacket (the temperature difference on the top of the mountain is large) ▫️ 20000mAh power bank (can't stop taking pictures at all) This mountain and sea trail is more layered than a simple coastline crossing, but I still like the East and West Chong more. Who will you go with to collect Shenzhen's "Mountain Alliance Sea Oath"? ⛰️💙
