Yandunshan International Friendship Park: A Lighthouse Poem Between Mountains and Sea

Beyond the hustle and bustle of Yantian Port, Yandunshan International Friendship Park hides a quiet bay. This small mountain-built park takes a miniature lighthouse as a link connecting China and the West—the tower built of brown stone bricks, with European-style reliefs on the inner walls, faces the lighthouse in A Coruña, Spain, as if telling the friendship between the two cities.

Walking along the wooden plank road, the sea breeze carries a salty moisture. Distant cargo ships sail slowly by, nearby anglers sit quietly on the shore, and tree shadows sway on the sParkling sea. Climbing to the top of the lighthouse, the view suddenly opens up. The containers of Yantian Port and the greenery of Feicui Island form a picture of integration between modernity and nature. Here, time seems to slow down. You can do nothing but listen to the waves crashing against the shore, watch the clouds roll and spread, and feel the romantic side of Shenzhen as a Coastal city.
