A post on the city government's official microblog account praised Egong Bay for its natural beauty and put it in the limelight. Less than two hours from the city center is this quiet beach.
Egong Bay, with a coastal line of about 500 meters, has the best beach with soft sand in Shenzhen. There are a large number of rocks in strange shapes by the beach, which form a beautiful landscape that makes the beach a great place for sightseeing, photographing and rock climbing, according to Chen Baoyuan, secretary general of the Dapeng New District tourism association.
In the north of Egong Bay, there is a small waterfall called “Egong Waterfall.” It is about 30 meters tall.
An artificial fish reef was built in 2007, which provides venues and facilities for visitors to observe underwater corals and aquatic animals.
Paogouling Hill, which is 429 meters tall, is the highest peak in Egong area. As the highest peak in the western Dapeng, it is the best place to have a bird’s-eye view of Dapeng Peninsula. “In the spring time, the hill is covered with beautiful azalea. It is a very romantic place,” Chen said.
There is another bay called Dalu Harbor, which is just opposite to the bay. It only takes about 15 minutes by speedboat to get there from Egong Bay. Dalu Harbor is also an ideal place to enjoy water fun, mountain scenes and bird watching, Chen said.
