Actually, for many of my friends, there are many ways to travel. But when I started trying hiking, I fell in love with this way of traveling for the first time, and I’ve been hooked ever since. Today, I’m going to introduce you to Dapeng Peninsula, a place that is very popular with hiking enthusiasts.
Dapeng Peninsula
Located in the eastern part of Shenzhen, Dapeng Peninsula boasts over 130 kilometers of coastline and 218.8 square kilometers of forestland, making it a treasure trove of natural resources.
You must have heard of Dameisha and Xiaomeisha, Yangmeikeng, and Dongchong (chǒng). Dongchong is Shenzhen’s most classic coastal hiking route, a favorite among hikers. It’s one of China’s most beautiful coastlines. Every weekend, hikers gather and trek through it.
Dongchong boasts over 130 kilometers of coastline, 218.8 square kilometers of forestland, fine soft sand, rugged islands, and a variety of reefs and sea erosion rocks…
Hiking along this coastline is a common activity for many seasoned hikers and a sacred place for many beginner hiking enthusiasts. The coastline route is rugged and winding, and the actual distance covered during the trek is over 8 kilometers, taking about 3 to 4 hours.
【Hiking Precautions】
1, Shoes: Shoes must be soft-soled athletic shoes, not hard-soled, including athletic sneakers. V-soled hiking shoes are heavy and hard and are not recommended.
2, Clothes: You can wear three layers of outdoor clothing: quick-drying and breathable underwear, a fleece warming layer in the middle, and a windproof layer on the outside.
3, Socks: It is recommended to wear thick, quick-drying socks to prevent sweating, damp feet and blisters. Avoid wearing stockings as they can easily rub your feet.
4, Towel: You can prepare 2 towels: one for wiping sweat during the hike and the other to pad your back to absorb sweat and prevent colds.
5, Protective Gear: Those with knee or ankle problems can wear ankle braces and knee pads.
6, Convenient Hiking Backpack: Pack your backpack with some personal medications, such as: medicated oil, liniment, bandages, antacids or specific medications, mosquito repellent. Also bring a flashlight.
7, Telescopic and Folding Hiking Stick: Hiking sticks can help your feet push off, and on the downhill they can help reduce knee impact and minimize damage to your body.
