Drawn by its affordable food, shopping and entertainment, many Hong Kong residents choose to spend their weekends in the neighbouring city of Shenzhen in China.
Some venture to Guangzhou, another nearby city that has its share of Cantonese cuisine, pristine malls and cultural destinations.
But further east in Guangdong province is a little-known city that offers something quite different. Shanwei – not to be confused with nearby Shantou – is a coastal city less than two hours from Hong Kong that has clean, family-friendly beaches and stunning sunsets that rival those in Phuket or Bali.
In Shanwei, the ocean’s strong waves lend themselves well to water sports like sailing and surfing, and seafood is fresh and abundant.
And if visitors want to leave the seaside, there is the bustling Ermalu night market, which offers beef hotpot – a speciality of the region – and other local delicacies.
