What an incredible 5 days in Shenzhen and Huizhou! Our journey started with a trip to Huizhou West Lake Scenic Area, and honestly, it felt like a hidden gem. The area was peaceful, with a calm, almost magical atmosphere. Walking along the lake surrounded by old temples and lush trees was the perfect way to begin our trip. Afterward, we ventured to Xunliao Bay, a beautiful beach destination. We spent some time relaxing by the water, and I couldn’t get enough of the stunning views and clear skies.

In Shenzhen, our visit to Dameisha Beach was a fun way to experience the city’s modern coastline. We enjoyed walking along the boardwalk and the cool ocean breeze. Lianhuashan Park was a favorite stop—its tranquil environment and the chance to hike up for a view of the city skyline was a nice contrast to the bustling city life. Shenzhen Bay Park was another highlight; walking along the bay and seeing all the outdoor activities was refreshing. The day at Splendid China Folk Village really topped off the trip, with its immersive cultural exhibits and miniature replicas of China’s most famous sites. The guide really made the experience come to life, explaining the history behind each exhibit. This trip was a perfect blend of relaxation, culture, and exploration.
