Hosted by the Information Office of the Shenzhen Municipal People’s Government, the Expats Eye Shenzhen Photo Contest, organized by multilingual portal website EyeShenzhen and Shenzhen Daily, has been a celebrated event for five years. Enthusiastic shutterbugs from around the globe have eagerly participated, showcasing both passion and professional skills.

As an extension of the competition, the organizing committee treated photography enthusiasts from nine countries to an excursion to Dapeng Peninsula on Nov. 24.

Their journey began at the picturesque hotel Yun Resort Shenzhen Longcheer by the sea, followed by an enchanting yacht voyage guided by Longcheer Yacht Club crew members, which offered a closer view of Dapeng’s stunning coastal scenery.

Additionally, they were invited to visit a farmland, where they picked vegetables and fruits and made DIY lemon tea under the instruction of the hotel’s staff members.

Covering a construction area of 55,000 square meters, the hotel is equipped with a total of 286 rooms, a yacht club, a grand banquet hall, a multipurpose conference room, and a farmland.

The hotel provides a unique setting, with its location by the shore in Dapeng, and is highly favored by water sports enthusiasts.
