Compared with the well-known Nan 'ao Island, Nan 'ao Bay, which is only 70 kilometers away from downtown Shenzhen, is cleaner and more primitive, because it is closer to downtown and has shorter driving time, making it an ideal place for car travel.
South Australia is actually a peninsula, backed by Qiniang Mountain and facing the sea, shaped like a half moon. The coastline here is long and gentle, and some private yachts are docked in the water, which adds a bit of beauty to the beautiful town. Because there are not many tourists, the place near the sea is like a private beach. Different from other beaches, there are no various amusement facilities here, and the quiet sea water is more suitable for a family or a couple to enjoy. There are also many big sun umbrellas for tourists by the sea. Sit down and order a drink when you are tired of playing, or make an appointment with friends to play seascape cards, which are the most beautiful enjoyment. Two steps away is the seaside barbecue. Under the clear night sky, a seafood barbecue must taste good.
From Shenzhen, via Binhe Avenue and Yanhe Road, to Luosha Highway, and then to Panshan Highway in Wu Tongshan. When we approached the top of the mountain, looking back, Shenzhen, a modern metropolis, was looming among the peaks, and there was an unreal feeling. Looking eastward from the top of the mountain, you can see Sha Tau Kok, Yantian Port, Minsk aircraft carrier and dotted islands. The sun is clearly swaying on the sea, and it seems to sprinkle a layer of broken gold in the phosphorus waves.
Walking down the mountain road with good road conditions, you will enter Shatoujiao Town. Zhongying Street of "One Street, Two Systems" is located here. The theme park-Minsk aircraft carrier is also moored at the coast of Sha Tau Kok. It is adjacent to Yantian Port, the third largest container port in the world.
From Yantian Port to the west, take the old coastal road and cross the seafood food street, and you will arrive at OCT in the east-a good place for urbanites to return to nature and have a leisure holiday. It includes not only the ecological grand canyon and fairy-tale mountain city, but also jungle trains, folk songs and even outdoor sports bases. Continue westward along the coastal highway, and you will arrive at Meisha Beach, large and small. These two beaches are famous for their complete facilities, convenient transportation and safety. There is not only a free locker room, but also a free shower. There are direct air-conditioned buses in almost every district of this city. Therefore, these two beaches are often overcrowded. Basically, every time I drive, I pass by. I really can't make up my mind to join in the fun.
About 25 kilometers to the west, you will reach dapeng ancient city. Founded in 1394, the ancient city is a military stronghold established in the Ming Dynasty to fight against Japanese invaders, covering an area of about 1 10000 square meters. It was called the first coastal city in Kangxi period. South of dapeng ancient city, only 25 kilometers, is the southernmost tip of Shenzhen-Nan 'ao Peninsula. It is wonderful to go boating and fishing at sea, or to smell the sea breeze on the highway by the sea, and then hike along the coastline, but it is even more essential to taste all kinds of seafood here.
There is a popular saying in South Australia: "If you have no money to buy eggs, you can eat sea urchins." It is said that people who go to South Australia eat more sea urchins than eat.
China produces a large number of sea urchins, except for Dalian and South Australia. South Australian sea urchin is tender, golden yellow and smooth. Now is the best season to eat sea urchins. The sea urchin is plump and the meat is delicious. The locals used the simplest method to make the sea urchin delicious to the extreme. Steamed eggs, sea urchin fishing rice and sea urchin fried rice are all must-taste delicacies. The most primitive method of seafood carnival is to rent a sea boat and eat seafood in the sea fishing raft, which is the favorite way for locals to eat. Fishing rafts are like food stalls on the sea, floating on the sea. Each fishing raft has dozens of tables, and the newly salvaged seafood is sent directly here for people to enjoy. Some stores simply enclose seafood with large nets and keep it in the sea. Fish material is fish bones left by people, which is really "fish farming".
I used to think that Shenzhen is just a modern metropolis that has just risen, but the trip to South Australia can make you feel that she also has a long history and rich cultural heritage. Experience the fun of catching crabs at night, feel the joy of fishing, or lie on the soft beach and look up at the stars at night, and you will definitely find a different South Australian sky!
