A Guide to the Many Ways to Enjoy the Hidden Gem Hotel in Shenzhen that Everyone's Asking About

The hotel at the foot of Qiniang Mountain in Dapeng is such a hidden gem. Not only is the scenery breathtaking✔️, but there are also a variety of activities✔️. It's especially suitable for family trips👍. Here's a two-day, one-night itinerary📖. 🖍️ Day1 Itinerary⬇️ Horse riding➕Canopy afternoon tea➕Feeding cute pets➕Swimming pool 1️⃣ The hotel provides horse riding tickets, and you'll need to ride 2 kilometers to the Mingmaxuan Resort to enjoy this activity. The bicycles are tandem bikes for two adults and one child, offering a quaint experience. 2️⃣ The pre-booked afternoon tea will be served next to the hotel pool under a canopy. While adults enjoy their tea, children can feed little rabbits and guinea pigs, and there's also a children's playground with slides, a sandpit, and swings. 3️⃣ The swimming pool is in front of a row of colorful cabins. Kids particularly enjoy the water play boats in the pool, which is open until 9 pm, so you can play in the evening if you're worried about the sun. 🖍️Day2 Itinerary⬇️ Museum➕Sheep at the ranch➕Picking lychees➕Water play 1⃣️ Just a few steps from the hotel is the Dapeng Geological Museum, which is free to enter and particularly suitable for walking with children. We've been there twice, and there are many realistic dinosaurs and volcanoes, as well as a simulated underwater world for educational fun. 2⃣️ The ranch with sheep is a popular spot for wedding photos. The sheep appear between 12 pm and 5 pm for interactive photo opportunities. They are so engrossed in grazing that they're not afraid of people. 3⃣️ Next to the ranch is a stream flowing from Qiniang Mountain, where you can play in the water and even set up a canopy for a picnic with an open fire and overnight stay. Along the way, you'll find branches laden with ripe lychees that you can pick and eat at your leisure. 🔵About going to the beach: 1️⃣ I highly recommend visiting Jiediaosha, which is 5 kilometers away and free to enter. It's Shenzhen's 'Maldives' with clear water and fine sand. It gets very crowded on weekends, so I suggest going early in the morning on the second day for a smooth experience. Staying at the Danfeng Kaili is also a way to avoid peak times. 2️⃣ A bit further from Jiediaosha is Yangmeikeng, where you can catch the tide and it's also worth visiting for mermaid photo shoots! However, the beach is not great, so if you just want to relax and take the kids to play in the sand, choose Jiediaosha. 🏘️Hotel: Danfeng Kaili Resort (search for the name in navigation) 📍Address: No. 2 Geological Park, Nanao Street, Dapeng New District, Shenzhen
