Sea World 

The name “Sea World” starts with the Minghua ferry. The ferry used to travel overseas and landed in Shekou in 1983. Nowadays, it has become a tourist area and it’s one of the most happening places in Shenzhen. You will find lots of delicious restaurants of Asian, Indian, Brazilian, Western cuisine etc., with so many bars around, and there is the water show every evening near the ferry. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of Shenzhen, head to Sea World and have a coffee. You can enjoy the serene atmosphere with the breeze and live music.
