Da Meisha Scenic Area boasts Shenzhen City's longest beach which is 1.8 kilometers in length (about 1.1 miles). The beach is wide and the sand here is fine and soft while the clear seawater is shining in the sunlight. 'Wave Surfing on the Da Meisha Beach' is one of the 'Top Eight Scenic Spots' in Shenzhen. Several groups of themed sculptures stand on the beach, depicting the aspirations for a better life of the 'Drifting Generation' (the young people who had unstable jobs and insecure living conditions during 1940s-1980s). However, now the sculptures have become a symbol of happiness in Da Meisha Scenic Area. This beautiful seaside resort has golden sands and a blue sea that sets off the white sails of the boats under a sky dotted with white clouds. To the landward side there is the backdrop of green mountains where the fragrance of the coconut trees and beautiful flowers is carried by the sea breeze. For the adventurous who may be seeking entertainment there is the 'Water Slide on Ropeway', a challenging sport introduced from the occidental area. On the mountain near Da Meisha beach we can find Cultural Relics dating from about 3,000 years ago in the Shang Dynasty (16th - 11th century BC), such as the bronze vessels which represent the fruit of ancient civilized society and enable us to appreciate the brilliant wisdom of the ancient Chinese.
