Shenzhen: Three Days and Two Nights, Have Fun in the City of Energy

Hey guys, ready to dive into Shenzhen? 😎 This city full of vitality and creativity will take you on a three-day, two-night journey to experience the bustling metropolis, mountain and sea scenery, and artistic vibes. Just go for it! In the morning, head straight to Lianhua Mountain Park! 🚶♂️ Climb to the top for a panoramic view of Shenzhen’s cityscape, and the statue of Grandpa Deng Xiaoping is truly meaningful. After descending, rush to the Civic Center, whose design looks like a roc spreading its wings—perfect for photos to post on social media. At noon, have some roast meat rice around the Civic Center. The roast duck and roast goose have crispy skin and tender meat, paired with rice that’s so fragrant you’ll want to stomp your feet! 😋 Don’t miss the rice rolls either; their silky texture combined with rich sauce is absolutely amazing! In the afternoon, check out the Shenzhen Museum to see how Shenzhen transformed from a fishing village into an international metropolis. The exhibits and multimedia displays are really interesting. Then head to the Ping An Finance Center, take the elevator straight to the top floor, and enjoy a 360-degree view of Shenzhen. The skyscrapers and bustling traffic are so stunning you’ll be speechless! 😲 At night, explore the Futian CBD. Find a restaurant or bar on a high floor to eat, drink, and enjoy the night view. The twinkling lights create an unbeatable urban atmosphere. 🌟 Day 2: Mountains and Sea, Enjoy Nature and Leisure In the morning, rush to Daxia Valley in OCT East! 🎢 The wooden roller coaster will have you screaming nonstop, the waterfall is cool and spectacular, and wandering through the forest while breathing fresh air feels amazing. At noon, grab fast food in the scenic area or head nearby for seafood. Shenzhen’s seafood is incredibly fresh and will make your taste buds dance. In the afternoon, have fun at Dameisha Seaside Park. Walk on the sand, splash in the waves, watch the blue sea and white foam, try water activities, or just take a leisurely stroll—super relaxing! At night, Yantian Seafood Street is a must. There’s so much seafood you’ll be spoiled for choice. Enjoy it cooked and paired with the sea breeze—absolutely fantastic! 😜 🌟 Day 3: Artistic Creativity, Taste a Different Style In the morning, take a stroll around Shenzhen University. The campus is beautiful with unique architecture and full of youthful energy. Then head to Nantou Ancient City, where the antique charm blends with creative shops and exhibitions. Walk on the stone paths, admire old buildings, and pick up some interesting little items—so much fun. At noon, try the pot cake in the ancient city, which is chewy and sweet, and the radish beef offal stew, rich in flavor and so addictive you won’t want to stop. In the afternoon, rush to OCT Creative Culture Park. With artistic shops, art exhibitions, and specialty cafes, it’s perfect for taking photos, browsing markets, and hunting for handmade crafts—art lovers will be thrilled! At night, meet up at Happy Coast, where you’ll find lake views, delicious food, and shopping all in one place. Watch the lake light show from a restaurant, then stroll through the mall after dinner to perfectly end your trip. 🍜 Food Guide Roast Meat Rice: Roast duck and roast goose with rice, irresistibly fragrant!
