About Shenzhou Peninsula

It is best approached as a place to stay, walk by the sea and explore a chosen coastal stretch. The lighthouse has become a popular visual landmark, but access routes and nearby facilities can change. Use current public entrances and check restrictions on any specific photography spot instead of crossing hotel or working-service areas.

What to look for

  • Curving beach sections around the peninsula.
  • Coastal outlooks toward the lighthouse from permitted public areas.

The surrounding area

East-coast base combining Riyue Bay with Xinglong coffee culture; these are different local areas.
