Yantian is home to China’s first “zero-carbon restaurant,” where rooftop solar panels power the kitchen, rainwater is recycled, and insects are used to help break down food waste. In Shenzhen, a low-carbon lifestyle can begin with something as simple as a bite of a burger. 

Off the coast at Meisha Subdistrict, there is a literal “underwater garden.” Ongoing coral conservation efforts are turning the seabed into a tropical coastal wonderland beneath the waves.

When it’s time to move after a satisfying meal, Yantian delivers. From trendy festivals like the 72-Hour Trendsetters Music Festival to high-adrenaline competitions such as iQFOiL (the Windsurfing World Champions) and the Shenzhen 100 ultra trail race, Yantian keeps you energized year-round.

In Yantian, ecology and urban life coexist. A coastal plank stretches 19.5 kilometers, offering the city’s most immersive seaside promenade, with turn after turn perfect for photos.

Yantian charms year‑round: spring blossoms, summer waves, autumn hikes and winter exhibitions make it an all‑season tourism destination. 

With spectacular container terminals, massive international cargo ships and glittering port lights that create an unforgettable skyline, Yantian Port is a unique seascape.

Beyond the port, the upcoming Ocean Fishing Trade Hub will become a new coastal landmark that integrates fisheries trade, culture and technology.
