Dapeng, Gankeng, Guanlan, and the eastern coast should not be planned like attractions beside a central Shenzhen hotel. Give the chosen destination enough time and avoid combining several distant areas in one day.
Quick answer
Dapeng and Jiaochangwei: stay one night if possible.
Eastern coast: choose Yantian, Dameisha, or Dapeng according to the actual purpose.
Gankeng and Guanlan: use a specific culture-focused route and check transport.
For a short first visit, stay in Futian or Nanshan.
Dapeng and the eastern coast: the main slow-travel route
Dapeng Ancient City, Jiaochangwei, Yangmeikeng, and the coast can take one or two days. Weather, road access, reservations, and local transport can change, so verify current conditions and avoid a late forced return to the city.

Beachside hotel in Dameisha
Kingkey Palace Hotel Shenzhen is in Yantian and works well for beach leisure or stays that need near dameisha beach park and the yantian waterfront area.
Gankeng and Guanlan: do not combine them with Nanshan theme parks
These are interest-led cultural and neighborhood trips, not additions to a packed first-day route. Choose accommodation only after mapping the exact venue and return transport; “Longgang” or “Guanlan” alone may still cover a broad area.
For a straightforward first trip
Without a dedicated slow-travel plan, Futian or Nanshan is a more practical main base. Visit one outer destination on a separate day rather than changing hotels repeatedly.

Slow travel means giving one destination enough time. Stay overnight for Dapeng or the eastern coast when useful, build Gankeng or Guanlan around a precise route, and remain in the main city when the overall trip is short.
