Nanshan District lies at the southwestern end of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, on the eastern side of the Pearl River estuary.

Shenzhen Bay, known as Deep Bay, borders it to the south, facing Hong Kong’s Yuen Long District, and the district has 55.18km of coastline.

Shekou Peninsula forms its southern tip, while Inner Lingding Island and Dachan Island mark the southern boundary.

The district retains wooded hills including Tanglang Mountain and Nanshan Park, while Shenzhen Bay Park is a major coastal green space.

The 393m China Resources Headquarters tower and Shenzhen’s high-tech industrial cluster are located here,

and Nanshan is known as the wealthiest district under a prefecture-level city in China.

Although Shenzhen lies just south of the Tropic of Cancer, it has a monsoon-influenced subtropical climate shaped by the Siberian High.

Winters are generally mild and dry, with frost rare but fog frequent;

the city records fog on about 106 days a year.

Rain increases from April in spring, which is also the cloudiest season.

Summer is hot and extremely humid as the monsoon peaks, but extreme heat is uncommon: temperatures exceed 35°C on only 2.4 days a year.

Autumn becomes drier, particularly later in the season.

Annual precipitation is about 1,933mm, with 9.7 days a year receiving at least 50mm of rain.

Typhoons can make landfall from the east in summer and early autumn.

Annual sunshine totals about 1,853 hours.

Times are local to Nanshan District. Check the latest official information before the race.
