DONGCHONG BEACH AND CHUANBIYAN SEA ARCH · DONGCHONG SHATAN
Dapeng Peninsula: the Ming Fort and the Good Beaches · 22.492°N 114.580°E Ticketed Closure day
The quieter end of the coast walk. Dongchong is a village at the far south-east of the peninsula, hemmed in by hills on three sides, with a white-sand beach of 600-odd metres, a lagoon edged by the district's largest mangrove stand, and a mangrove wetland park with raised walkways. Down the coast to the southwest is Chuanbiyan, a sea arch about 20 metres high cut through a sandstone headland, which local media call Shenzhen's version of Tibet's Holy Elephant Gate.
Read the full note Before you go Check what is open before you make the trip. In late 2025 the operator made the beach free because part of it was fenced off for a beach-club rebuild, and at the same time closed the Chuanbiyan arch core area and its viewing platform and stopped the shuttle there; its notice promised to announce reopening and new prices on the WeChat official account 东涌红树林旅游区. We found no official reopening notice by September 2026, though the city government's May 2026 holiday roundup listed 'checking in at Chuanbiyan' among Nan'ao's attractions. The arch is also a rockfall area - stay behind the railings. Swim only inside the shark net, and leave when a typhoon signal goes up. Something wrong here? Tell us → Not this Dongchong (东涌) here is the Shenzhen beach, not Tung Chung (东涌) on Lantau in Hong Kong - same Chinese characters. Chuanbiyan is a sea arch 2.75 km southwest along the coast (OSM), 0.6 km below the Xichong observatory - not the beach headland.
