If photos are frozen fragments of time, sorting photos is like a time machine, which can easily remind people of their memories and make them go back to the past in an instant.

It was the summer of 20 13, and the heat in Shenzhen in the south was unbearable and the sun was shining. Only the sea breeze blowing from the South China Sea can make people enjoy a moment of coolness.

One weekend that summer, I rode from Longgang District to Dapeng District with a classmate who loved cycling. The distance of sixty or seventy kilometers is naturally a piece of cake for him who often rides a bicycle between cities in the Pearl River Delta. For me, it is a great challenge in such hot weather-it is also the farthest I have ridden in recent years.

We set out early in the morning to avoid the heat wave. In order to enjoy the beautiful scenery, we walked around some paths and stopped to take pictures. Although sweating like a pig, fortunately, there is a strong attraction of the sea and beautiful scenery ahead, which makes us more motivated to break the wind.

Depart from Longgang and go south along the greenway. From time to time we can see many "cyclists" galloping past us.

When we passed Pingshan, our first stop was Maluanshan Country Park. Although it's only after ten o'clock in the morning, the sun has begun to release its "fire-like enthusiasm", and we are already sweating. Fortunately, there are green mountains and green waters, as well as the breeze blowing from the mountains, which has taken away a trace of dryness and fatigue for us.

At noon, I arrived in Kwai Chung. Although the sun is shining, my interest in seeing the sea has not diminished. Along the winding coastal highway, I feel that there are mountains, there is no road of doubt, and there is another "sea".

The sky is blue and the wind is whispering. The waves burst and bloomed.

At noon, I finally came to Dapeng. It is the hottest time in the afternoon 1 till 2 o'clock. In order to prevent heatstroke, we rested in the center of the district for nearly two hours. The hot weather and strenuous exercise soaked our clothes with sweat and we were exhausted. I have no appetite for lunch. I just ate some food like noodle soup and added a lot of water.

After 2: 30, we continued on our way. The last stop is our destination-Dapeng Suocheng.

As we all know, Shenzhen is a young city. Dapeng City is the oldest building in this young city and is considered as the birthplace of Shenzhen's history and culture. According to historical records, Dapeng defended Qianzhai City, which was built in the 27th year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty (1394). Its main function is to resist the invasion of pirates. In the Qing Dynasty, it was also one of the bases of the Opium War against Britain. Shenzhen's nickname "Pengcheng" came from this.

Riding Dapeng is also a freehand tour of Shenzhen.

An ideal city should not only have skyscrapers made of reinforced concrete, but also have a poetic distance that is desirable.
