Fairy Lake Botanical Garden

Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden. The scenery is first-class. It is a great place for the whole family to hike and take photos and feel the breath of nature. There is a circular shuttle bus in the park. You can jump on the bus to rest when you are tired. You can also enjoy different scenery on the bus. If you like multi-leaf cacti, you can’t miss it. In addition, there are many different kinds of flowers. It is an oasis in the city.
