Location & How to Get There

Sea World sits right on the coast of Shekou, Shenzhen—a spot that blends city vibes with ocean views. It’s in Nanshan District, near the border of Hong Kong, so you get a mix of modern energy and relaxed seaside charm. To get here, take the metro to Shekou Station (Line 2 or 12), then walk about 10 minutes. Or hop on bus 70, 80, or 332 if you’re coming from downtown. Taxi drivers know it well, too—just say “Shekou Sea World” and they’ll steer you straight.

Natural Scenery: Ocean Meets City

At Sea World, the highlight is its waterfront location. You’ll see ships docked at the old port, waves lapping against stone walls, and palm trees swaying in the breeze. The coastal walkway here is perfect for biking or strolling—daytime offers sunny skies and salty air, while nighttime lights up the harbor with colorful reflections. Bring your camera: the sunset over the water is insta-worthy, especially when the skyscrapers of Shenzhen glow in the background.

Cultural Buzz: Art and History

This place isn’t just about nature. Sea World was once a fishing village turned industrial hub, and now it’s a creative hotspot. Wander through the art zone to find giant murals, quirky sculptures, and old containers turned into cafes. The area buzzes with live music, street food stalls, and markets. Don’t miss the “Times Square” sign—a retro landmark that looks straight out of a movie. If you’re into history, check out the nearby China Merchants Museum to learn how Shekou transformed from a tiny village to a global trade gateway.

Food and Drink: Something for Everyone

Sea World’s got options! Craving seafood? Try the oyster omelettes and grilled fish at the waterfront stalls. For something trendy, the container cafes serve everything from bubble tea to craft beer. There’s even a whiskey bar with live jazz if you want to unwind after dark. Families will love the ice cream shops and kid-friendly restaurants. Pro tip: Sit by the water for dinner—the view alone is worth it.

Activities: Relax, Play, Explore

Whether you’re here for an hour or a day, there’s plenty to do. Rent a bike and ride along the 15km coastal trail that connects to other parts of Shekou. Let kids run wild at the playground near the marina. Shop for souvenirs at the boutique stores selling local designs. If you’re visiting on weekends, catch the street performers or join a yoga class on the grass. For something unique, book a ticket on a boat tour to see the skyline from the water—trust us, it’s cool!
