Xiaomeisha is a quiet bay adjacent to the city, enjoying the mountains and sea. She revives the gentle and romantic side of the "Shenzhen Spirit", looking for a bit leisure in the high-efficient life. She represents the unique marine culture belonging to Shenzhen and continue to feed on the Shenzhen people who are tired of pursuing their dreams. The project proposed 3 strategies:

Re-connection means re-connecting mountains, people and the sea and activate their potentialities. emphasizes the joint development of mountains, city and sea, and greatly strengthen the good ecological base of Xiaomeisha and the "small but delicate" mountain-sea pattern. Focus on the organization of the traffic and pedestrian flow, relying on transportation and facilities to create a comfortable tourism and living circle.

Resilience represents an eco-safety concept of dealing with environmental issues. It's a bidirectional balance between nature and human beings. The design strengthens the mountain and sea habitat restoration of Xiaomeisha ecology, promotes the resilient bay of ecological disaster prevention integration, meticulously maintains the mountain ecology, and builds an elastic coast that combines soft and hard strategies.

Revival is the travel guidance of Xiaomeisha. Five theme routes enrich the various modes of "mountain, sea and city" tours. She conveys the values of environmental protection. Through cooperation with Yantian carbon coins, it increases public participation, forms a good mutual trust relationship with the community, enhances environmental awareness, and organically develops Xiaomeisha.

Xiaomeisha is rich in mountain and ocean resources and features the closest coral community to the center of Shenzhen. Corals, as the epitome of Xiaomeisha's marine habitat, are the inheritor of marine civilization. They are also highly valuable in terms of ecology, art and culture, and science. Our design proposal highlights the theme of ‘Coral Coast, Returning to the Ocean Blue’. Supported by three key design principles - Living Coral Sea, Ocean Blue Park, Infinite Future Bay, the scheme aims to enhance sea and land habitats, and enrich marine life. Its goal is to realize a true integration between the city and the ocean through the 'Ecology-Oriented Development Strategy'. Xiaomeisha will pioneer an innovative coastal development, and commit to building a global oceanic community with a shared vision.
