1. Background

Dapeng New District is located in the east of Shenzhen City, to the south of Pingshan, to the east of Yantian, and to the west of Huizhou. It faces the sea in three directions, separated from Hong Kong by the sea.  As a region boasting its unique and abundant coastal tourism and ecological resources owed to its relatively intensive historic & cultural resources with its largest scale, best preservation and most valuable ecological landscape in Shenzhen, Dapeng is expected to become a unique Card for Shenzhen and even Zhujiang Delta.

As the region with the most valuable ecological landscape resources in Shenzhen, Dapeng New District plays a more important role as the ecological Footstone of Shenzhen than its other role as a tourist resort , so the development of its ecological tourism should be initiated under enhanced protection. But at present, it is sort of lagging behind in development and much less popular than Xiaomeisha and Xunliaowan.

Planning is the antecedence to the development and construction of Dapeng New District. At the beginning of the foundation of the New District, the government of the New District commissioned Shenzhen Urban Planning & Land Development Research Center to formulate the Comprehensive Planning for Protection & Development of Dapeng New District.  As a development planning with a high starting point and standard, the Comprehensive Planning for Protection & Development of Dapeng New District comes up with the idea to form an urban construction blueprint of building both the city’s characteristic section of scientific development and a world-class coastal ecological tourist resort. Its objectives are as follows: strictly protecting the ecological environment, emphasizing high-quality development; vigorously implementing the Big Three Strategy of internationalization, high-end orientation and high quality; speeding up the construction of a world-class coastal ecological tourist resort, creating an ecologically biological peninsula, a life & health peninsula and an international tourism peninsula.

Leaders from municipal committee and government are very concerned with the development & construction of Dapeng Peninsula and had been there dozens of times to investigate and survey the construction of the New District. They thought highly of the current planning orientation and clearly expressed their request for speeding up the construction of a coastal tourist resort and achieving the goal of creating a world-class coastal ecological tourist resort by carrying out some specific projects.
