Shenzhen First Visit: 3 Days of Highlights
One day each in Nanshan's bay, Futian's central axis and Yantian's coast, covering Shenzhen's main city landmarks.
One area per day: on day one, Nanshan's old city and the sunset at Shenzhen Bay; on day two, Futian's central axis for the views, museums and Huaqiangbei; on day three, the Yantian Seaside Boardwalk in the east and Dameisha beach, before departure. The metro and buses cover everything, and the pace is comfortable, ideal for first-time visitors with limited time. Theme parks and Dapeng Peninsula are saved for next time.
Autumn through early spring is the most comfortable time, and from November to March you can see migratory birds at Shenzhen Bay. Summers are hot, with typhoons.
每日安排
第 1 天 · Nantou Old Town and Shenzhen Bay Sunset
Take Metro Line 11 from the airport for about 30 minutes to Nanshan. Between the old town, Talent Park and Shenzhen Bay, use the metro plus walking or shared bikes.
Sunset at Shenzhen Bay is best around 5 to 6 p.m. You can rent a bike for a seaside ride.
住宿：福田中心區
第 2 天 · Futian Central Axis and Huaqiangbei
深圳主城（蓮花山公園、深圳市民中心、深圳博物館、平安金融中心雲際觀光層、華強北）
Lotus Hill, the Civic Center and Shenzhen Museum are linked on foot. Take the metro 1 to 2 stops to Ping An Finance Centre, then head to Huaqiangbei in the evening.

第 3 天 · Yantian Boardwalk and Dameisha
From Futian, take the metro and then a bus for about 1 hour to Yantian. Walk part of the seaside boardwalk to Dameisha, then take a taxi about 1 hour to Shenzhen North Railway Station in the evening.
The boardwalk is about 19 km long, so walking from Shatoujiao to Dameisha is enough. Return trips from the east are congested on weekends.
