Dapeng New District

Located in eastern Shenzhen, Dapeng New District is where history meets natural splendor. The crown jewel of the area is Dapeng Fortress, a 600-year-old fortified village from the Ming Dynasty that gave modern Shenzhen its name. A major coastal highlight is Rose Coast (玫瑰海岸), famous not only for its fine sand and blue waters but also as one of China's premier locations for wedding photography. Beyond its historical paths, the district provides an ecologically protected environment with lush mountains and clear seawater. Visitors can hike along coastal trails or enjoy fresh seafood in local fishing villages. Rose Coast provides numerous photo opportunities with European-inspired backdrops right on the beach. It is a popular weekend getaway for city dwellers seeking respite from the metropolitan rush. The blend of cultural heritage and seaside relaxation makes Dapeng a unique destination in South China.
