Shenzhen Sanmen Island Travel Guide

Sanmen Island was once called "the Maldives of Guangdong". This name may be exaggerated. After all, for the Maldives, where the water is clear and the sand is young, the water in Sanmen Island may be slightly similar, but the sand is young, because the beaches here are not flat and clean.

As an island far from the mainland, Sanmen Island is also a tree-lined island, stepping on Shanghai Island and feeling a quiet ecological park. But around the island, there are countless small harbors with different landscapes, which are places for swimming by the sea. More uniquely, there is a large freshwater lake called Xiang Si Lake, which is a poetic place.

Visitors to Sanmen Island for the first time must be playing with water and watching the sea at the seaside. On Sanmen Island, there are five bays with a radius of 300 meters, among which Moon Bay Beach and Baisha Bay Beach are the most famous. The sand here is fine and white, the sea water is clear and blue, and the visibility is 10-20 meters. But what is more beautiful is the colored stone beach. It is said that Sanmen Island was a volcanic island formed by volcanic eruption10.40 billion years ago. The colorful stone beach on the island is covered with colorful and strange volcanic rocks. Chua's beach is located on the other side of the island, far from the crowded beach, so it is relatively quiet. There are big stones by the sea, and the colors of the stones are quite diverse. But be careful when swimming here, because the depth of the sea is even more unpredictable.

Visitors who are familiar with Sanmen Island also like to climb the main peak of the island at an altitude of 298 meters. On the mountain, they can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Daya Bay and Mirs Bay.

In addition, if you rent an off-road vehicle to play on the island, you can also find the ancient battery, military tunnels and the old customs sites that the Qing government once opened.

Itinerary design: Two days is enough. On the first day, I drove to Tung Chung and Xichong, and ate seafood at the beach food stall at the pier for lunch. Then take a speedboat to the island. Stay at the resort on the island. Return the next day. If you don't live on the island, you can live in a local cabin by the sea on the first night, and there are many choices. Catch small crabs at the seaside at night. Take a speedboat to the island early the next morning and return in the afternoon.

Accommodation: Unlike other islands, Sanmen Island is favored by real estate developers because of its proximity to Shenzhen and Hong Kong. There are high-end villas and luxury houses on the island, as well as high-star Sanmen Island Resort. It is said that the designer introduced "environmental protection and love" in his design, which integrated his architectural landscape with the natural landscape. The resort is located on the shore of Acacia Lake. Rooms are decorated with five stars, and each room has a large landscape and a leisure terrace.

If you don't want to stay in Sanmen Island, you can stay in Tung Chung or Xichong before entering the island. There are also beaches and the sea, there are many hotels to choose from, and there are many private family-style hotels rented by local people, which are also unique.
