Dameisha Seashore Park

This guide to Dameisha Seashore Park in Shenzhen opens with the Drifting Generation, sculptures of people who left their home provinces to help build the city and now face the sea. It traces the beach's 1999 opening as free public sand, and the Wish Tower designed by Jun Xia, once a quiet spot to climb up and look out over the water. The tower's stainless-steel lattice arches rise two hundred sixty-six feet above the sand, visible from anywhere along the beach.
