The single most misread rule in Shenzhen. From 1 May to 7 October 2026, on every weekend and public holiday , the traffic police close all roads south of Diefushan Tunnel to private cars that have not booked a slot - but the booking is for the car, not for you. Buses, taxis, licensed ride-hailing cars and coaches of ten seats or more are exempt, so a visitor who is not driving books nothing.
Read the full note Before you go The permit headlines are aimed at drivers, and they scare off people who do not need to worry. If you arrive by metro, bus, taxi or a licensed ride-hailing car, nobody will ask you for a booking; if you are driving a car of nine seats or fewer south of Diefushan Tunnel on a weekend or holiday without one, the fine is 300 yuan and a point on the licence. The real cost is time: from Futian it is a metro ride to the end of Line 8 plus a bus, and on summer weekends the one road in still jams. Nothing here survives a typhoon: from the orange signal the city's rule is that beaches, scenic areas and parks stop business at once. Something wrong here? Tell us → Not this The 'Dapeng booking' is a car permit, not a visitor reservation - passengers on buses, taxis and licensed ride-hail cars are exempt. Xichong station (溪涌, in Kuiyong) is not Xichong beach (西涌, in Nan'ao) - same English spelling, about 23 km apart in a straight line (OSM). Dapeng Centre (大鹏中心) is the bus hub in Dapeng town, not the fortress; you change buses there.
