Even on a cloudy day, the flower fields remain vibrant, especially the vast expanses of sunflowers and tulips, earning it the nickname "mini Provence" among netizens. Admission is only 30 RMB, a great deal! The flower field is vast, offering excellent opportunities for close-up shots as well as stunning panoramic views, all without the crowds. Tips: Visit in the morning or evening to avoid the midday sun for a more dreamlike feel. Even on a rainy day, you can capture a soft, understated atmosphere. 📍Address: No. 18, Ganli Road, Gankeng Community, Jihua Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province ⏰Opening Hours: Open all year round Second Stop: Urban Pastoral Not far from Gankeng Ancient Town, Urban Pastoral is not only a great place for natural scenery photography, but also features various crops and flowers, creating a relaxed atmosphere with incredibly fresh air. The entrance is right next to the Xiaoliangmaozhijia Hotel, making it very easy to find. When you get tired, you can find a local restaurant in the surrounding shops to rest and try authentic hometown dishes. Urban Pastoral is more suitable for families, couples, or groups of friends to experience the slow-paced rural life near the city. 📍Address: Approximately 270 meters northeast of Xiaoliangmaozhijia Hotel, Gankeng Ramp, Longgang District, Shenzhen 🌸Photography Tips: 1. Clothing Suggestion: Choose light-colored, bright clothing for a more striking contrast with the flower sea. 2.

The flowering season in Flower Valley changes, sometimes featuring sunflowers and tulips. It's recommended to check the park's announcements or visit trip.com a week in advance for the latest flower information. 4.
