Location & Accessibility

Dapeng Qixing Bay Yacht Club sits in the eastern part of Shenzhen, nestled along the coastline of Dapeng Peninsula. This spot is a hidden gem for those wanting to escape the city buzz while still enjoying urban conveniences. To get here, drive along Binhai Road (literally “Coastal Road”) toward the peninsula. If you’re not driving, take bus E11 from downtown Shenzhen and hop off at “Dapeng Qixing Bay Yacht Club”—the signs are easy to follow. Taxis are also an option, but traffic can get heavy on weekends, so plan accordingly!

Natural Scenery: Coastal Heaven

The real star at Dapeng Qixing Bay Yacht Club is its oceanfront view. Imagine turquoise waters meeting rocky cliffs, with sailboats bobbing gently in the bay. The area is surrounded by rolling hills, creating a perfect mix of mountain and sea. Sunsets here are iconic—watch as the sky turns pink, orange, and purple, reflecting off the water. It’s a great spot for photos or just sitting quietly. If you’re lucky, you might even spot dolphins playing near the shore!

Cultural Touches: A Fusion of Old and New

While Dapeng Qixing Bay Yacht Club leans more toward nature and luxury, there’s a touch of local culture nearby. The area around the yacht club has small fishing villages where you can see traditional boats and try fresh seafood. For history buffs, the ancient Dapeng Fortress (a historic military site) is a 30-minute drive away. Back at the club, the architecture blends modern design with coastal vibes—think open-air lounges, wooden decks, and sleek yachts docked in the marina.

Facilities: Luxury Meets Leisure

The yacht club isn’t just about looking pretty—it’s packed with amenities. There’s a waterfront restaurant serving everything from grilled seafood to pasta, plus a cozy café for coffee or cocktails. If you’re into water sports, you can rent sailing boats, kayaks, or even paddleboards. Beginners can book a lesson with experienced instructors.
