Dapeng Fortress

Download poster

Dapeng Suo City originated from the coastal defense station of the Ming Dynasty and retains the city gates, street pattern, defense relics, temples and later mansions related to the South China Sea. Its space also records defense during the Qing Dynasty, village life in the 20th century, and community use that continues today. The ages of the existing buildings are not consistent. When visiting, you should combine the protection instructions to distinguish between the original structure, the restored part and the revitalized part.

Opening hours

Confirmed opening hours are not available on this page. Check opening and last-entry times with the venue before setting out.

Getting there

Dapeng is located far east of the central city of Shenzhen, so you can take the currently operating express buses or compliant vehicles; there may be congestion on weekends, so you should confirm the last return trip and do not estimate based on the urban subway rhythm.

Practical notes

It is advisable to walk before the peak passenger flow, keep residents’ doorways clear, and ask questions before photographing people. Can be combined with the coast, but don’t underestimate the distance and observe typhoon and high temperature restrictions.
