In 2003, Seaworld Plaza was opened known as Shenzhen’s first International entertainment hub. Ten years later, a brand-new Seaworld Plaza, as the core commercial area of Seaworld Urban Complex, is going to embrace its reopening after complete renovation. The new Seaworld Plaza featuring international, fashionable, exotic and leisurely dynamics is expected to regain its glory. 

The new Seaworld Plaza covers a total commercial area of 67,000 square meters including three parts - Minghua ship, Central Plaza and ABC zones. 

 

Minghua ship still keeps its landmark status at this new Seaworld Plaza, or even in Shekou. The ship was originally a luxury liner built by French in 1962 and known as ANCEEVILLA. In 1973, China bought this ship and renamed it as “Minghua” ship. In 1983, this ship arrived at Shekou and was rebuilt into a hotel and served as a sea-based tourist centre. In 1984, Deng Xiaoping came to visit it and wrote an inscription “Seaworld”. This is how the name came about. After almost 30 years' service, this ship has not finished its task yet. In 2010, with an investment of 60 billion Yuan, the main part of New Shekou project - Seaworld Urban Complex started its renovation. This December 20th, part of the renovation project will be formally unveiled at the Minghua ship by its major developer - China Merchants Property Development Co. Ltd. At the same day, the water show beside the ship will be staged and the newly built Hilton Shenzhen Shekou Nanhai will be open as well. So far, eight stores on the ship have been put to use. They are Minghua Cruise Inn, Löwenburg Brauerei and Restaurant, 4th Deck Bar, X-TA-SEA Sports Bar & Restaurant, Fonsun Conceptual Sichuan Cuisine, San Francisco Bay Seafood Bar, Executive Lounge and Captain Bar. 

Central Plaza occupies a total area of about 15,000 square meters. 33 well-known stores now are in business like Terraces, McCawley's Irish Bar & Restaurant Shekou, Club Viva Shekou, McDonald’s and Starbucks.

 

Zone A is just in front of the Minghua Ship covering about 12,000 square meters. It is composed of 3 independent commercial buildings - L’amour, Salon Club and Exotic Food - and underground plaza connecting to the metro. The most spectacular building should be the Salon Club designed by Ryan Church who assisted the leading architectural firm in the U.S. - Callison Architectural Firm - to build landmarks for Seaworld. In the Exotic Food, you will find Pacific Coffee, Andes Cafe and The Kitchen, etc.. 

 

Zone B, covering about 12,000 square meters of commercial area, is composed of one main building and 5 independent buildings built by waterside. Other than focusing on International boutique like Zone A, Zone B has exotic and unique food with original flavors. Moreover, the outdoor space is really nice in this zone. 

 

Zone C is themed on fashion and leisure and composed of double-fish commercial building and watery plaza. The total commercial area is reaching about 12,000 square meters. Similar with Zone A, you also can find some special restaurants here in order to meet the needs of the public. Paulaner Bräuhaus Shenzhen Shekou is one of them, which is the first authentic brauhaus in Shenzhen.

If seafood is your thing, Leyuan Road will be your heaven. This street is lined with seafood restaurants, and is busy every night of the week. The food is fresh (you can see it alive and kicking before it’s on your plate), and the prices are reasonable. The restaurants here display their menu items in tanks and cages on the side of the street, and walking the length of the street provides excellent insight into what the Cantonese consider to be edible. Aside from the astounding array of freaky critters from the deep, there are also insects, rabbits, pheasants and snakes, all waiting for the chop. Most of the restaurants here are of a similar standard, but the Golden Luohu Hotel and the Hua Cheng Yi Hong are the largest and busiest.
 

 

Leyuan Road runs north off Shennan East Road. It is within walking distance of Dong Men. Bus nos. 2, 29 and 205 will take you there. The closest Metro stops are Guo Mao and Lao Jie.

The Old Northern Restaurant (Lao Beifang Canguan) is where people from China’s northern provinces go to get a taste of home in Luohu district. Highly recommended are the jiucai hezi (thick pancakes filled with chives), yi gou chu (a large pan of green beans, pork ribs, potatoes and corn bread), liang cai (Chinese-style spicy salad) and goubao rou (sweet stir-fried pork in batter). A hearty meal for two here can be got for less than RMB100. The only downside is that the chefs can sometimes take the Northerners' love of salt to an extreme.

The Old Northern Restaurant is on a corner on Dongmen Middle Road opposite

Dongmen Walking-Street

(there is a large Bank of China on the corner).

The cuisine of the three provinces that comprise the Northeast of China, known as Dongbei, like the people of this region, is unique and to be found all over the country. Ah You serves up some of the most authentic Dongbei dishes in Shenzhen and they do it in true Dongbei style i.e. it is inexpensive and unpretentious. Stewed chunky green beans, pork ribs and corn, stir-fried glass noodles and celery, and spicy salads are among the Dongbaei favourites available here. Cornbread, jiaozi (Chinese dumplings) and a variety of mantou (steamed bread) are integral to any Dongbei dining experience. A meal for two will cost less than RMB100. The menu is in Chinese with pictures.

Ah You Dongbei Cuisine is on the last street that runs off Dongmen South Road when heading south. This road connects Dongmen South Road with Yanhe Road (and seems to be unworthy of a name). Tell the taxi driver to take you to the Donfang Jiayou Zhan (Dongfang Petrol Station) on Yanhe Road. Ah You is opposite this and behind the Lao Difang Jiudian. Bus nos. 2, 5, 14 and 17 stop on Dongmen South Road.

Xinjiang Restaurant

   ...

   

The imaginatively named Xinjiang Restaurant is the best eatery on a strip of restaurants that serve the Uighur minority cuisine. The Uighurs, one of China's 56 recognized minorities, hail from the northwestern region of China formerly known as Turkestan. It is also the official restaurant of the Xinjiang Uighur Minority Special Autonomous Region Government’s representative office in Shenzhen, so it must be good.

Uighur cuisine is similar to that found in Central Asian countries and relies heavily on roast mutton, noodles, naan bread and chili. Food is prepared and cooked according to Islamic custom. The Xinjiang Restaurant is as good an example of it as you will find this far from Urumqi. The food they serve is authentic, typical and tastes even better washed down with Xinjiang black beer. A meal for two will cost about RMB70 - 120. The menu is in Chinese but also has pictures.

   


 

The Xinjiang Restaurant is at the end of a strip of restaurants on Chunfeng Road, just east of the intersection with Wenjin Road. Bus nos. 5 and 14 stop near here and a taxi from the Luo Hu border crossing will cost about RMB15.
