## About Dongchong and Xichong Beaches

Dongchong and Xichong are natural beaches in the southeast of Nan'ao Subdistrict, on the edge of the Dapeng Peninsula. What makes them most tempting are the shells: countless colourful shells dot the wide stretches of sand. In addition, Dongchong is a great place to catch the first rays of sunshine in Shenzhen.
