Shenzhen Xiaomeisha Ocean World Reopening & Yantian Cliff Coastal Boardwalk
Eastern Riviera Reborn · Azure Marine Cylinder, Bionic Whale Shark & 19.5km Ocean Trail
Reopened following an extensive transformation, Shenzhen’s Xiaomeisha Ocean World is easily accessible via Metro Line 8. Discover bionic whale shark shows and cliffside boardwalks along the Yantian coastline.
Long celebrated as the "Oriental Hawaii," Xiaomeisha in Shenzhen’s Yantian District has undergone a comprehensive renaissance. With Metro Line 8 extending directly to the beach, riding the subway to the coast has become a quintessential GBA weekend experience.
The Azure Cylinder & Bionic Marvels
Spanning 60,000 square meters, the park features China’s largest cylindrical acrylic tank in the Azure Cave Hall, alongside high-tech bionic robotic whale sharks and 360-degree dome simulators.
Yantian Coastal Boardwalk Trail
Adjacent to the park, the 19.5km Yantian Coastal Boardwalk clings to sea cliffs over crashing ocean swells, offering an idyllic sunset hiking route overlooking Dapeng Bay.
Metro: Shenzhen Metro Line 8 to Xiaomeisha Station (Exit A), 8-minute walk to the entrance. Driving: Huishen Coastal Expressway to Xiaomeisha exit.
Arrive 20 minutes prior to the bionic whale shark multimedia show; the cliff segment between Beizaijiao and Xiaomeisha offers the best photographic views.
