After almost a month we finally made it to see a beach.  We took our new teachers on a small tour of the surrounding area so our family joined in.  This was a cloudy day so it wasn't pretty but at least it was a little cooler.

Dapeng Fortress was built in 1394 to protect the area from pirates. It later developed into a town during the Ming and Qing dynasties.

In 1571, it sustained a siege of over forty days by Japanese pirates equipped with scaling ladders.

Restaurant on the shore and this was their "live" menu.
