Longgang District

A Hakka and coastal region in eastern Shenzhen, where Dafen Oil Painting Village, Gankeng Town, and the Dapeng Peninsula coastline each have their own charm.

Longgang District is located in eastern Shenzhen. Its jurisdiction includes urban cultural destinations such as Dafen Oil Painting Village and Gankeng Hakka Town, as well as the coastal areas extending east to the Dapeng Peninsula (now managed by the Dapeng New District). The peninsula features the Ming Dynasty coastal defense fortress Dapeng Fortress, Qiniang Mountain National Geopark, Xichong Beach, Yangmeikeng, and the Dongxichong coastal hiking trail, while Jiaochangwei is famous for its boutique guesthouses. Autumn and winter are suitable for hiking, while summer is ideal for water activities, though visitors should watch out for typhoons. Metro Line 3 connects the area to the city center, while reaching the peninsula requires transferring to a bus or driving.
