A Two-Day, One-Night Family Trip to Shanwei! A Stress-Free Getaway for Moms

Whenever I'm unsure where to go for fun, a little voice in my heart always says "Go to Shanwei!" We've visited Shanwei three times in total, each time with kids, and it's always been so relaxing. If you're planning a trip to Shanwei too, here's our itinerary for reference: Day 1️⃣: Drive from Shenzhen ➡️ Erma Road for food ➡️ Jinting Bay ➡️ Whale Bay Town ✔ About 2-hour drive from Shenzhen to Shanwei Erma Road downtown has tons of delicious eats Parking options: Xinli Building/Vienna Hotel (Feicui Bay Branch) ✔ Jinting Bay 7-kilometer coastline Perfect for kids to play in sand and waves Also has swimming areas, jet skis, parasailing, sailboats and other water activities ✔ Whale Bay Town Seaside amusement park featuring coastal train, Ferris wheel, go-karts, bumper cars, carnival games, etc. Day 2️⃣: Most Scenic Highway ➡️ Windmill Island ➡️ Sea Fortress ➡️ Honghai Bay Zhelang Wonder 1. On the second day, head to Windmill Island via the Most Scenic Highway - great photo ops. 2. Navigate to Windmill Island's Shallow Bay - breathtaking views. 3. The South Sea Guanyin Scenic Area and Sea Fortress are in the same area - worth visiting together, absolutely spectacular. 4. Honghai Bay Zhelang Wonder (¥15 admission) has fine, soft sand - ideal for kids to swim. There are few hotels in Honghai Bay area - mostly local homestays. The accommodation experience isn't as good as Jinting Bay, but the beaches here are more pristine and beautiful.
