To learn about the history of silk and its impact on modern China you need to visit the Historical Silk Culture Industry Park, where you can see many products on display and for sale.

The nearby Xichong Beach is very popular thanks to a long stretch of sand and calm rolling waves that make for excellent surf. Enjoy the water or take a lesson and learn to surf, or simply relax on the beach and work on your tan. If you love hiking, the Dapeng National Park has been rated as one of the ten most beautiful areas of China. Follow one of the many trails into the heart of the park and get your fill of mother nature. If you're looking for a challenging hike, the trail between Xinchong and Dongchong is a great 10km trek, or go for the view at the top of Qinang Mountain. The combination trail and staircase is not for the faint hearted, as it winds 12km up to the peak.

Coco Park is the best place to shop, and if you stay until evening the area transforms with restaurants and bars making it the premier entertainment area in Shenzhen. The market at the Shenzhen Railway Station is also great for shopping, with a wide mix of everything from toys to outdoor equipment and tailored suits. Dragon Park is not to be missed, and is a welcome break from the bustle of the city. Stoll through the massive parklands all built around dragon culture, or head to Minsk World, which is a converted Soviet Aircraft Carrier that's now a military themed amusement park. Try the shooting range and many carnival themed games, and don't miss the re-enactments of the military parades on the deck, or the disco in the main aircraft hangar.

Long Gang is a wonderful part of Shenzhen for your next holiday to China. You'll get to stay in the heart of the city, and right by some of the best local attractions.
