Beach in Qianhai

At the beach at the Guiwan section of Qianhai Stone Park, visitors can soak in a distinctive city-by-the-sea view, jog on waterfront paths, and play with children in the waterside square. Future programming may include beach volleyball, music festivals and outdoor movie screenings. 

At the heart of the beach, stepped seating and a wavy seawall viewing platform offer ideal spots for relaxation. The area is divided into two parts: a pebble shore near the water and a sandy beach just across the path. This makes it an especially perfect location for sunset viewing.

The beach provides a stunning open view, where the striking city skyline and the Ferris wheel appear to float on the sea in the distance. On the opposite side runs the Guangzhou-Shenzhen Riverside Expressway, creating a unique urban-seaside atmosphere distinct from the natural beaches found in Shenzhen’s eastern areas.
