Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel leads to the main hiking trail, where visitors can explore lush greenery and rare wildlife.
The resort features panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows in each room, providing breathtaking views of morning mist rolling over the mountain and starlit skies at night. Guests can also participate in guided nature workshops hosted at the on-site Eco Education Center, learning about local flora and geological formations.
For adventurers seeking a deeper connection with the landscape, private guided summit climbs are available with certified mountain guides, ensuring safety and rich educational insights—perfect for those wanting both relaxation and immersive outdoor experiences.
Qiniang Mountain is located in Dapeng New Area, Shenzhen, and while it's most conveniently reached by private car (about 1.5 hours from central Shenzhen via Yanshui Expressway and Dapeng Highway), public transit options are also available. Take bus M372 or E11 from Shenzhen Eastern Bus Terminal to "Dapeng Ancient City" station, then transfer to a local minibus or walk about 20 minutes to the mountain trailhead.
During weekends and holidays, additional tourist shuttle buses operate between key attractions in the area, significantly improving connectivity. Luxury resorts like Banyan Tree Dapeng Bay offer complimentary shuttles directly from the property to the hiking trail entrance, enhancing convenience for guests.
It’s recommended to use apps like Gaode Maps or Baidu Maps for real-time traffic updates to avoid congestion, especially during peak seasons.
Beyond hiking, Qiniang Mountain offers exceptional eco-guided adventures. One highlight is the nighttime firefly watching tour, held during summer months when thousands of fireflies illuminate the forest canopy—a truly magical sight.
Mountain camping experiences are also popular, especially among families who wish to spend a night under the stars, surrounded by quiet wilderness. Partnering with local conservation groups, resorts offer interactive programs like "Find the Hidden Animals," using infrared cameras and audio tracking to identify rare species such as pangolins and golden-throated leaf monkeys.
Photography enthusiasts can join mountain photography workshops led by expert instructors, teaching techniques for capturing natural light and wildlife in their habitat. All activities are conducted with trained guides and full safety gear, ensuring minimal environmental impact while maximizing educational and experiential value.

I’ve passed by this hotel many times while visiting Judiaosha, and finally had the chance to stay here. The location is perfect—just a short walk from the beach. On sunny days, the view of the sea is absolutely stunning. I wish I could swim during winter, but it was a bit chilly, so I didn’t go in the water much. Still, just sitting by the window watching the waves was relaxing and peaceful. The resort-style design gives it a nice getaway vibe. My ocean-view room had excellent views—waking up to that sight alone made the trip worth it. During my stay, I ran into a small issue, but the housekeeping staff handled everything quickly and with great care. Special shoutout to Cherry—her service was outstanding. Friendly, attentive, and always ready to help. The overall experience was fantastic, and I’d definitely come back. If you’re looking for a quiet, scenic escape near the beach, this place is a must-try.
