Shanwei

A coastal city in eastern Guangdong where seaside scenery at Red Bay and Jinxiang Beach sits alongside the ancient Xuanwu Mountain temple and revolutionary heritage sites.

Shanwei lies on the southeastern coast of Guangdong, between Shenzhen and Huizhou on one side and Shantou on the other, with a long coastline. Lufeng has the Yuanshan Temple on Xuanwu Mountain and the ancient town of Jieshi, and the water at Jinxiang Beach is clear. Red Bay, in the urban area, is a seaside getaway. Haifeng has revolutionary sites such as the Red Palace and Red Square, and the area still preserves traditional opera forms such as Baizi opera. Summer and autumn are good for the beach, and winter is warm. High-speed trains reach Shanwei and Lufeng stations, and the trip from Shenzhen is relatively convenient.
