The Shenzhen Hikes guide covers 12 of the most beautiful hikes in Dapeng Peninsula, located in the east of Shenzhen. Shenzhen Hikes focuses on the history that can be seen while hiking: old temples, military structures, antique buildings and villages. The set includes a large map and 12 hiking cards. Shenzhen Hikes also includes clear instructions on how to get to the walks by public transport, with Chinese translations to show to bus or taxi drivers. There is also a map on each card so hikers don’t need to bring an extra map.

East of Shenzhen, toward the Nan’ao Peninsula, you can find great beaches with activities to suit every taste, and there is also the historic Dapeng Fortress and other wonders including temples and tombs. Find out more in James Baquet’s Shenzhen Daily article Dameisha and beyond.

The ancient fortress at Dapeng is justifiably one of Shenzhen’s best-known attractions. But the area around Dapeng Town has two more excellent destinations, both of which are Buddhist temples. Read more in James Baquet’s Shenzhen Daily article Two temples in Dapeng.
