Lin Lan's "Behind the Window" exhibition at the Sea World Culture and Arts Center in Shenzhen uses the motif of "windows" to connect memories of Shenzhen and Hong Kong with a global perspective.

Hilton Shenzhen Shekou Nanhai

This time I went back to Shenzhen for vacation. I chose Hilton Nanhai Hotel Shenzhen Shekou. I wanted to find a relaxing and convenient place to chill for two days. The hotel is superbly located on the seaside of Nanshan, less than ten minutes walk to Sea World and the newly opened K11 mall. First of all, let’s talk about the location and transportation of the hotel. It is located at 1177 Wanghai Road, Shekou, with its back to the coastline. It is easy to find by taxi and subway. The most attractive to me is from the room looking out is the sea view, immediately have a holiday feel, but also can go to the nearby waterfront trail walk, at night can go to the sea world to find some specialty restaurants to eat, or K11 mall shopping for an afternoon tea. The hotel is very well-equipped with indoor and outdoor pools, a gym, and a children’s playground, so you can find the right place for you whether you are a family, couple or friends. I myself mainly used its indoor pool, clean water, no many people, and a sauna and spa, two days of vacation spent super comfortable. The room space is large, most of the rooms are sea view rooms, the bed is super comfortable, the floor-to-ceiling glass windows directly see the sea, waking up in the morning has been in a good mood. If you want to relax quietly or want to rest well after a busy day, this is the perfect choice. The service is commendable, the front desk staff is attentive, check-in is quick, and you can apply for a late check-out, and no deposit, which is convenient and stress-free. Feel that the hotel values ​​the guest's experience, whether in the morning with breakfast or any questions to ask his land, will quickly help you solve. However, a small number of guests reflected that the facilities were slightly older and hygiene needs to be strengthened, but in my own experience this time, it was generally ok, nothing to worry about. The buffet breakfast is one of the highlights, there are many choices, both Chinese and Western, being able to sit by the window for breakfast and then looking at the sea is really enjoyable. There are also many good photo spots in the surroundings, such as the hotel lobby and swimming pool are quite designed. If you want to feel the seaside leisure life in Shekou, Shenzhen, this is the first choice. Final booking tip: It is recommended to book sea view rooms online in advance, sometimes there are early bird discounts, easier to get a good view; special holidays peak season remember to book early. You don't have to worry too much about traffic when you go to Shekou, Shenzhen. Many photo shopping malls and gourmet restaurants are as convenient as neighbors. The only thing to note is that there are more people during the holidays. Going out early is the most peace of mind. #Shenzhen Hotel Recommendation #Shekou Vacation #Coastline Photo #Short Distance Leisure Travel #Sea View Room Preferred #
