★★★★★7 years agoDecent museum that shows a lot about Chinese history regarding Shekou.

★★★★★6 years ago怎又失掉 如 提及蛇口 係有個廟宇在此 走訪過多次 且伸延至至蛇口沿途海旁位置 因為有這希爾敦酒店之故 熱鬧好遊。遊客及住民多在此區遊走 購物 之餘找吃 大小店舖 及攤位提供 百貨 食肆 附近還有水上觀音景點。龐大美麗蛇口四海公園 的確是個旅遊聖勝地。 念著。註。前幾年再訪蛇口 已然酒店不再 但見大小商店 商場 臨立 提供日常用品 食店 熱鬧好遊。記住可以的 請到南山腳下拍照 一流。不建議攀爬至頂高峯 。未必全可以 恕直言。
