Set sail from the Shenzhen Airport Ferry Terminal or the Shekou Cruise Homeport on a captivating sightseeing tour of the Shenzhong (Shenzhen-Zhongshan) Link. With its grand opening scheduled for later this month, this engineering marvel promises to be a spectacle not to be missed.
A round-trip journey from the Shenzhen Airport Ferry Terminal in Bao’an District lasts for 100 minutes, and tourists will pass under the Shenzhong Link’s main bridge and enjoy various activities on board.
The first maritime sightseeing route in Bao’an, the route also passes the Xiwan Mangrove Wetland Park — one of the top 10 scenic spots in Bao’an — and Dachan Bay Terminal.
“If you take the trip at 5 p.m., you will be able to see the most beautiful sunset if weather permits. Tourists can also see the Western Artificial Island from a close distance,” said Peng Wei, operations manager of the Ocean Rainbow vessel operated by the Shenzhen Oceanus Group.
The Western Artificial Island is one of two artificial islands that are part of the mega link, serving as crucial interchanges for bridge and tunnel traffic.
Meanwhile, the sightseeing route based at the Shekou Cruise Homeport in Nanshan District passes the Shekou Container Terminal, Mazhou Island, Qianhai Bay, and Dachan Bay. The ferry service runs at 8 a.m. each Friday and has a ticket price of 198 yuan (US$27.26) per person.
