Shenzhen Eye Babysitter-Level Guide: Cyberpunk in the Subway

Who gets it! The "Shenzhen Eye" at Gangxia North Metro Station in Shenzhen is just amazing 😭 48 meters of column-free space + spiral Pegasus mesh dome, 26 natural light wells bring daylight in, and looking up you see a giant "Sky Eye," the tech vibe is off the charts, and best of all, it's free to check in! We've put together a super comprehensive guide so even beginners can easily shoot stunning photos~ 📍Key Information (Must-See!) - Address: Gangxia North Metro Station, Futian District, Shenzhen (Transfer station for Lines 2/8/10/11/14) - Hours: 6:00 AM - 12:00 AM (Open all day, fewer people late at night) - Transportation: Direct metro access! Five lines intersect here, super convenient, easy to get anywhere - Admission: Free! Totally free check-in, no reservation needed 📸Top 5 Photo Spots (with shooting tips) 1. Atrium Panorama: Stand in the center of the hall, use 0.5x wide-angle lens with centered composition to capture the entire dome + daylight, instantly giving off that cyberpunk vibe 2. 45-Degree Elevator Entrance: At the elevator heading toward Bitou, shoot at an angle to highlight spatial depth, having a person stand by the elevator adds storytelling 3. Side Train Spot: Go around to the side of the atrium to capture the subway train passing through the "Sky Eye," full of dynamic energy 4. Platform Upward Shot: Go down to the platform, crouch low, tilt the lens upward as if being sucked into the "Sky Eye," creating a dramatic sense of pressure 5. Exit Small Spot: Each exit has a "small eye" skylight at the top; when the sun shines directly at noon, the light coming through creates a great atmosphere Shenzhen friends can really go for it! Zero cost + convenient transportation + 100% photo success rate, whether you're making a special trip or just passing by, you won't be disappointed~ Hurry up!
