Everything you need to know about Chiwan Old Fort
Near the Chawan Left Cannon Fort in Shenzhen, the Shekou Hotel stands out for its historical ambiance and coastal location. Just a 5-minute walk from the fort, this heritage-style hotel offers sea-view rooms overlooking the tranquil Chawan Bay and the ancient cannon site. The hotel features traditional Chinese courtyards and cultural exhibitions, blending modern comfort with local history. Conveniently accessible via Shekou Port Station on Shenzhen Metro Line 2, it’s an ideal base for exploring both the fort and nearby attractions like Nanshan Temple.
The most convenient option is taking Shenzhen Metro Line 2 to Shekou Port Station, then walking about 10 minutes along Bin Hai Avenue to the Chawan Left Cannon Fort. Alternatively, bus routes such as 337 or M496 stop at "Chawan Industrial Zone," just a 5-minute walk away. For those driving, GPS navigation to "Chawan Left Cannon Fort" will direct you to a free parking lot outside the site. However, weekends see heavy traffic, so arriving early is recommended to avoid congestion.
Beyond exploring the Qing Dynasty cannon fort ruins, visitors can join a guided coastal historical tour, led by experts who detail the fort’s strategic role as a naval defense outpost. The seasonal cannon firing ceremony, held in spring and autumn, draws crowds eager to witness the dramatic reenactment. On-site, there’s also a traditional costume experience where guests can dress in Qing military attire for photos. Sunset viewing from the rocky promenade in front of the fort offers breathtaking panoramic views of the ocean, making it a favorite spot for photographers.

This stay was absolutely wonderful — one of the best trips I've had in a long time! The entire experience exceeded my expectations. Special thanks to Molly Hani at reception — her attention to detail and genuine hospitality made all the difference. She went above and beyond to arrange our room, making everything seamless and comfortable. The hotel’s location is unbeatable: right next to K11 Ocean World, where you can enjoy shopping, art installations, and stunning waterfront views. It’s perfect for a relaxing stroll or catching that golden hour shot — seriously Instagram-worthy. The room was spacious, clean, and incredibly cozy, with a great bed that ensured a restful night. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, every detail felt thoughtfully curated. I’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Shenzhen.

Staying at Andaz Shenzhen Bay was an absolute delight from start to finish. The hotel strikes the perfect balance between understated elegance and modern luxury. Florence, one of the staff members, went above and beyond with her thoughtful and attentive service—she anticipated needs before they were even voiced. The minibar in the room was well-stocked with a great variety of soft drinks, and the afternoon happy hour offered delicious bites with beautifully presented plating that added to the overall vibe. After returning from dinner, I was pleasantly surprised by a complimentary bedtime drink thoughtfully left by Florence—such a small gesture, but it truly made the stay special. Her kindness and professionalism stood out throughout my visit. This is not just a place to stay; it’s an experience worth repeating.
