Jiaochangwei
较场尾
A seaside guesthouse village beside Dapeng Ancient Fortress, with about one kilometer of beach and hundreds of distinctive guesthouses and seaside bars; Shenzhen's top choice for a weekend by the sea.
Jiaochangwei lies about 1 kilometer southwest of Dapeng Ancient Fortress. It is named after the rear end of the drill ground the fortress used for military training in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and it is now Shenzhen's best-known seaside guesthouse village. Hundreds of guesthouses, cocktail bars and seafood barbecue restaurants line the roughly one-kilometer beach, facing Dapeng Bay. Activities include sandcastle building, paddleboarding and watching the sunset, and the seaside bars get lively at night. The beach is free to access, so it pairs well with Dapeng Ancient Fortress for a day trip or an overnight stay. To get there, take the E11 bus to the Dapeng Ancient Fortress stop, then walk about 10 minutes. Note that on weekends and holidays, guesthouse prices double and rooms often sell out, so book ahead. Roads in the area get congested on holidays. Check wave conditions and warning flags before going into the water.
