Sunset on the Beach of Xichong

Xichong (Chinese: 西冲 or 西涌) is a scenic spot in Longgang District, Shenzhen, China. It is located in the south part of the Dapeng Peninsula, facing the South China Sea with Mirs Bay on the west and Daya Bay on the East.

Xichong attracts tourists mainly because of its long beach and surf. It is in eastern Shenzhen in the Dapeng National Park, a popular recreational and scenic part of the city. In 2006 Chinese National Geographic named Dapeng Peninsula as one of the ten most beautiful parts of China. To its north is Qiniang Mountain, the second highest mountain of the city. Since this is one of the least populated and most remote parts of Shenzhen, it is not easy to access the Xichong Beach. Access is only by car. Many visitors hire a car or a taxiat Nan'ao and reach the Bay that way.

Xiching and its sister beach Dongchong are popular with backpackers and surfers.
