The project integrates water safety strategies with ecological shoreline restoration, seawall construction, landscape, and public space remodelling. It recreates the tourism identity of Dapeng and promotes local economic development. On the premise of ecology and safety, it combines local culture with the geographical environment and shows the coastline's beauty and diversity.
