Dongchong-Xichong Coastal Trail
东西涌海岸穿越
A classic hike from Dongchong to Xichong along the coastal rocks, hailed as one of "China's Top Ten Most Beautiful Hiking Trails."
The Dongchong-Xichong traverse is a classic coastal hike on the Dapeng Peninsula, covering roughly 8 to 10 kilometers. Starting at Dongchong, it follows the shoreline around the southern tip of the peninsula, scrambling over rocks and climbing hillsides to reach Xichong, passing Luzui Villa and Bantianyun along the way. The sea-eroded landforms and ocean views are spectacular, and the walk takes about 5 to 6 hours. Some sections require scrambling by hand and foot, and the route is dangerous at high tide. Hike with companions, check tide tables and weather forecasts, and avoid the route entirely during the rainy season and typhoons. Entry and exit require registration under the protected area's rules.
