Every spring and summer (lasting until June), the waters of Dapeng offer the best sea urchins. Harvested fresh daily in the morning, these local golden urchins are incredibly sweet and creamy. Pro tip: It is recommended to book your restaurant seats one day in advance, as fresh supplies are limited. Travel tips If you are staying in the city center, you can take Metro Line 8 to Xichong Station (溪涌站) (Exit C) and transfer to Bus E92 to reach Nan’ao. Alternatively, buses E11 and 833 also reach the central Nan’ao area.(Tang Li) |
