Dameisha and Xiaomei

[Randy W]

Our visit to Hong Kong included four days in Shenzhen. One of those days was spent at the beach.

Dameisha and Xiaomei are two smallish coves with some very nice beaches. Dameisha even has a small town patterned after a Greek village. The weather was fairly warm, even for late October, so there were quite a few people at the beach.

I've included a map showing where we stayed and each area we visited. Shenzhen is VERY large, and each trip took around two to three hours by subway and/or bus.

Chinese people like to avoid the sun, even when they're at the beach, so they cluster wherever they can find shade. We didn't see any "face-kini's", however.

The road connecting the two beaches. We took an "eBus" (an electrically powered bus) to get from one beach to the next. Most city buses in Shenzhen are electric. I guess there is plenty of room to have enough battery power to last through the day. Some of the eBus's have pretty long routes.

 

 

 

The second beach at Xiamei, also with some very fancy overlooking homes.

A scene along the shore. That's not a cutout - the white statue simply washed out in the bright sun.

 

 

 

 

Some typical "Chinese" faire was available back at the Dameisha village

 

 

 

Even the taxis are electric. This is a BYD charging station.

 

 

 

You can see that our hotel was centrally located to the sites we wanted to see - it was just a LONG trip to get there no matter WHERE we went!

Great pictures as usual and it looks like you guys enjoyed yourselves. You didn't look up Naomi "the sexy cyborg" while you were there? ;) I'm so disappointed;) ;) emoticons not working for me today.

 

 

Note: Well it looks like at least some of them made a liar out of me.

Really nice pictures. It is somehow anathematic to see a Pizza Hut, Burger King and a Starbucks sign all on one post in China. .

By the end of the year, Shenzhen residents can take the Metro to the Dameisha and Xiaomeisha beaches when the second phase of Metro Line 8 is approved for operation. Link below for some beach videos ⛱️
