General presentation
Shanwei et baie Rouge
Peninsules, beaches and revolutionary memory characterize the coast between Huizhou and Shantou.
The discovery of Shanwei and Red Bay is centred around Red Bay, Temple of Fengshan Mazu and Revolutionary Site of Haifeng. The stay thus alternates between urban life, the coastline and the heritage, which gives a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.

For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: variable influx depending on the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. The main sites are generally easy to access.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Place indismissible
Baie Rouge
Two maritime facades are joined around a peninsula exposed to the winds. Season, wind and water levels greatly alter the experience; fragile banks and possible local restrictions must also be respected.
Temple
Temple de Fengshan Mazu
A large maritime sanctuary dominates the port and neighbourhoods of Shanwei. The place remains culturally sensitive and discovers itself with discretion, without hindering local practices; schedules, outfits and photographic rules are to be checked on the spot.
Place indismissible
Site révolutionnaire de Haifeng
Museums and buildings recall the peasant movement led by Peng Pai in the 1920s. The collections and remains take time to go beyond a mere photographic stop; a visit helps to understand their regional historical context.
