[Shenzhen 6-Day Tour: Mountains, Sea, and City Highlights] Lianhuashan Park + Huaqiangbei + Ping An Finance Center Cloud Sightseeing Deck + Dameisha Beach + Jiaochangwei + Yantian District + Sea World + Shenzhen Night Cruise + High-Altitude Afternoon Tea in the Clouds

Shenzhen is not a city to “escape from,” but one worth flying to specifically, settling into, and experiencing with intention. The complete imprint of its transformation from a border town into an international metropolis over 40 years is preserved within easy reach.

Today, please make your own way by air to Shenzhen, known as the “City of the Peng.” Upon arrival, our company will provide a dedicated representative to meet you at the airport and escort you to your hotel for check-in. Please note: Today’s services include airport pickup and accommodation only; no other services are included.

Theme: First Impressions of Shenzhen & Imprints of Reform (City skyline from the hilltop, urban vitality in Huaqiangbei, and a panoramic view from the highest point)

Morning: Arrive in Shenzhen and check into your hotel in Futian District. Head to Lianhuashan Park, climb to the summit for a sweeping view of the Futian CBD, and pay respects at the bronze statue of Deng Xiaoping—the starting point for understanding Shenzhen’s history of reform and opening-up.

Afternoon: Visit Huaqiangbei, one of Shenzhen’s most iconic landmarks, where you can explore its transformation from “paddy fields and tidal flats” to “China’s Silicon Valley.” Then walk to SEG Electronics Market to experience the bustling “counter entrepreneurship” scene that draws an average of 300,000 visitors daily.

Evening: Ascend to the Cloud Sightseeing Deck of Ping An Finance Center (547 meters). Enjoy an afternoon tea with cloud-level views, stroll along the “Sky Walk” suspended walkway, and use AR technology to relive Shenzhen’s urban transformations over the past 40 years.

If your visit falls on a Friday or Saturday, head to Shenzhen Talent Park to watch the free light show, where skyscrapers turn into massive screens of light and shadow.

Theme: Window to the World · Reform and Opening-Up
(Window of the World is a shared memory for an entire generation across China; Sea World represents the historic site where Shekou fired the “first shot” of China’s reform and opening-up. By day, explore the world; by night, take in Shenzhen—creating a fascinating contrast within a single day.)

Morning: Enjoy a traditional Cantonese morning tea (yum cha). Then head to Window of the World, which features miniature replicas of more than 130 iconic landmarks from around the globe. Suggested route: Asia Zone (Katsura Imperial Villa in Japan, Taj Mahal in India) → Oceania → Europe Zone (Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Leaning Tower of Pisa) → Africa Zone (Pyramids) → Americas Zone (Niagara Falls). Must-try attractions: Grand Canyon Rapids, Fly Over America, and the Alpine Ice & Snow World (skiing/ice skating). Don’t miss the afternoon’s large-scale song-and-dance spectacle, “The Age of Prosperity,” with performances at approximately 14:30 and 16:30.

Afternoon: Visit Sea World, whose signature landmarks are the Minghua Ship and the musical fountain. The Minghua Ship is an important symbol of Shenzhen’s reform and opening-up; originally a decommissioned French cruise liner, it was repurposed in 1983 and once inspected by Deng Xiaoping himself. Today, the area blends international cuisine, a bar street, and art exhibitions, serving as the premier showcase of Shenzhen’s cosmopolitan lifestyle.

Evening: Head to Shekou Ferry Terminal for a boat tour that lets you view Shenzhen from the water. Face the dazzling skyline formed by super-tall landmarks such as the Houhai CBD Super Headquarters Base and the “Spring Bamboo” tower. Lean on the railing and take in the night views, capturing with your eyes the luminous nightscape of China’s most dynamic city.

Theme: Shenzhen–Hong Kong Memories · Coastal Classics (Immerse yourself in the century-old stories of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, and discover Shenzhen’s geographic DNA—“backed by mountains on three sides and facing the sea on one”—experiencing both the city’s historical depth and geographical breadth)

Morning: Visit Chung Ying Street, the only place in mainland China where a single street is divided between Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Explore the 1898 boundary marker, the Warning Bell, and the Chung Ying Street History Museum to reflect on the profound changes that have shaped Shenzhen and Hong Kong over the past century. Every corner offers picture-perfect opportunities for capturing stylish, Hong Kong–inspired photos.

Afternoon: Stroll along Dameisha Beach and enjoy the water, then take a leisurely walk or bike ride along the coastal promenade. Check out iconic landmarks such as the Lighthouse Library and the giant octopus sculpture in Yantian Central Park. This area showcases the classic interplay of “mountains, sea, and city”: to the north lie the Wutong Mountains, while to the south you can take in views of Yantian Port and the mountainous landscapes of Hong Kong.

Theme: Ancient Coastal Fortress & Seaside Leisure (Experience the city’s two sides: Dapeng Fortress is the most compelling proof of Shenzhen’s historical heritage, while Jiaochangwei exudes a youthful vibe brought by the revitalization of the old town)

Morning: Dapeng Fortress – Shenzhen’s only national-level key cultural relics protection site, a Ming-dynasty coastal defense stronghold with 600 years of history, and the origin of Shenzhen’s nickname “Pengcheng.” Visit the South Gate Tower, General Lai Enjue’s Residence, and the Coastal Defense Museum.

Afternoon: Jiaochangwei – Shenzhen’s most popular seaside homestay village, and a filming location for variety shows like “The Restaurant” and TV dramas such as “Twenty Your Life On.” The village features over 300 homestays in diverse styles. With its long, narrow coastline, clear water, and fine sand, it is hailed as “Shenzhen’s Gulangyu.” Then head to Yangmeikeng to take photos along the seaside boardwalk and capture seascapes at the speedboat pier.

Return to the hotel in the evening.

Today is your departure day. Our company has arranged for our service staff to escort you to the airport for your journey back to the comfort of your home.
