Shenzhen 2-Day OCT East & Beaches
The slow counterpoint to the skyscrapers: a Swiss-style lakeside valley in the hills, then two golden crescents on Dapeng Bay and the freshest seafood on the east shore. Bookable end-to-end by our team.
Day-by-Day Plan
OCT East, Tea Stream Valley. Out to the Dameisha hills for OCT East Tea Stream Valley (RMB 150; 09:30-17:30) — the replica Interlaken town with its lake reflection, the flower meadows and the hill walkways; add the Daxia Valley eco-park next door for the theme-park rides. Stay the night at a Dameisha resort.
Dameisha, Xiaomeisha and seafood. Morning on the free sand of Dameisha Beach Park — surf, beach volleyball, a boardwalk along the shore. Midday: the quieter Oriental Hawaii of Xiaomeisha (RMB 30). Evening: Yantian Seafood Street for the fresh catch in Hakka and Chaoshan style — oysters, abalone and steamed fish — before the bus back west.
