Shenzhen parks suitable for hiking, like a red ribbon hidden in the forest
In a corner of the bustling city lies a hidden natural sanctuary that refreshes the soul—Hongqiao Park. This is not only an urban green lung but also a tranquil haven that travelers yearn for. Today, let me take you into this verdant world and together explore an impromptu green journey.
Attraction Introduction: A Perfect Fusion of Nature and Art
Hongqiao Park is famous for its iconic red arch bridge, which is not only uniquely shaped but also spans over clear waters, like a rainbow connecting the hustle and bustle of the city with the tranquility of nature. Walking on the bridge, you are flanked by lush trees and sparkling lake surfaces, as if stepping into a flowing painting. In addition to the arch bridge, the park also features several themed gardens that bloom in all seasons. Whether it's the cherry blossoms in spring, the lotus pond under the moon in summer, the fiery maple leaves in autumn, or the evergreen pines and cypresses in winter, there's always a scene that makes one linger.
Itinerary Plan: A Slow Day Trip
• Morning: Enter from the east gate of the park, and the first thing that catches your eye is the arch bridge in the morning light. It's worth taking a photo here. Then, stroll along the lakeside path, visit the lake pavilion, and enjoy the tranquility of the morning. Around 10 a.m., participate in a yoga or tai chi class in the park, breathe with nature, and feel a complete relaxation of body and mind.
• Noon: Enjoy lunch at a specialty restaurant in the park, with recommended dishes like local organic vegetable salad and steamed fish, fresh and healthy.
• Afternoon: Visit the park's art exhibition area, which often features works by domestic and international artists, offering a unique blend of art and nature. Afterwards, you can rent a bicycle and cycle around the lake, enjoying the pleasant breeze.
• Evening: At sunset, climb to the observation deck to view the magnificent scene of the city skyline and the afterglow of the setting sun. Finally, take a break in the park's coffee shop, where a rich coffee paired with a delicate dessert perfectly concludes the day.
Food Guide: Exploring the Taste of Nature
• Must-try food: Try the farm restaurants around the park, with freshly picked vegetables and authentic flavors that let you experience the genuine taste of the countryside.
• Specialty snacks: Don't miss the handmade ice cream cart on the corner, with ice cream made from local fruits, each bite filled with happiness.
Transportation Guide: Easy Access to the Greenery
• Self-driving: The park provides ample parking spaces. Navigate to 'Hongqiao Park Main Entrance' and follow the signs to easily find your way.
In this fast-paced era, Hongqiao Park is like a harbor sheltering from the wind, allowing one to forget the noise and find inner peace. Take this travel note with you, embark on a dialogue between the soul and nature, and let every breath be filled with the vitality of life.

Travel guide for Hongqiao Park
The total length of Guangming Hongqiao is 4 kilometers, with an average bridge width of 5 meters and a height of 8 meters, like a sports track shuttle in the forest, which is rare to see nationwide. (TIPS: The round trip distance needs to be doubled)
🌿Close to nature🌿
With the concept of 'Cradle Forest', it reshapes the relationship between the city and nature. It is built along the forest patrol road and the original wild path to build the red bridge passage, avoiding deforestation and mountain excavation, and preserving the texture of nature.
🔴Red with green🟢
The red of the bridge and the green of the forest create a strong visual impact, which makes people have to shout visually enjoyable. The high rate of photo output is surprising, and it is most suitable for photographers who specialize in shooting large landscape photos to challenge the limit of visual presentation.
🔍Detail control🔍
The design of the bridge is full of humanistic care. The slope of the whole journey does not exceed 5%, and there are vertical elevators, spiral staircases, circular ramps and roof steps, providing a safe guarantee for the elderly and children. Everyone can easily reach the end.
🗼Two tops🗼
Two 35-meter-high viewing towers are set up at the midpoint and the end respectively. You can see the panoramic view of Hongqiao and enjoy the beautiful scenery of red and green collision around, and exclaim 'trench'.
✌️Double the fun✌️
If you don't want to go back, then the end of Hongqiao is connected to another entrance of 'Datongling Greenway', and Datongling Greenway is another completely different landscape; if you can persist in walking through Datongling Greenway, then buy a Guangming pigeon at the end of the stall to reward yourself.
Starting point📍West gate of Hongqiao Park, Guangming District, Shenzhen City (Guangqiao Road entrance)
Subway🚇Line 6 Phoenix City Station, walk 2.5 kilometers to reach the west gate entrance

Shenzhen Hongqiao Park | "Bridge of the Sky", as if breaking into the cartoon world!
🎈Looking from a distance, a touch of red is wrapped around the mountains, winding and twisting, with clear levels and unique design sense. The bright red body of the bridge, in the mountains, under the blue sky, the visual impact is very strong when you look around! It's just like a scene in a cartoon!

Walking on the bridge, you will pass by Biyan Reservoir, Guangming Golf Club, Datongling Primitive Mountain Forest, coupled with the distant city skyline, it's like walking in the sky above the city and the forest. It's even more unique if you encounter the sunset or the evening glow.

A Glimpse of the New District (Shenzhen)
Date: 20230515; 20230601
I've learned something new, the new district is different from a regular district. Guangming New District was established in August 2007, as the first functional new district in Shenzhen; in May 2018, the State Council agreed to establish Guangming District in Shenzhen.
Hongqiao Park is a place I've long wanted to visit, it's very red in color and also very popular on social media.
If interested, you should come soon, before its colors fade.
Its biggest advantage is that you can reach the top of the mountain almost without realizing it, as there are hardly any steps to climb; of course, it also has a downside, there's no shade from trees.
Actually, before the construction of Hongqiao Park, there was already the famous Datongling Greenway, which connects to the park. On the greenway, there are famous three bridges, and the 'suspension bridge' is one of them.
Walking these bridges, you can not only see the golf course but also buildings, lakes, and even high-speed trains and stations. Hmm, you can almost see the entire Guangming District.
But you can't see the 'Three Treasures of Guangming'; you need to taste them carefully in a restaurant. Besides squab, the other two treasures are colostrum and sweet corn.
Dapeng is different from Guangming, although it was established at the end of 2011, it is still called a new district.
The purpose of setting up this district must be to develop tourism.
The accommodation is not bad, named 'Little Cuba,' but it's actually a village called Shuitousha.
I started visiting Dapeng about twenty years ago, Dongxi Chong, Sanmen Island, Yangmeikeng, Jiaochangwei...
But I always encounter these beautiful corners that I've never been to before.
A Western restaurant that is very professional in both decoration and dishes, seeing it in Dapeng for the first time.
And it's so close to the sea, it reminds me of Lahaina in Maui.
For lunch the next day, I wanted to go to Luzui Mountain Villa, but the navigation showed that I had to take a boat from Yangmeikeng, so I gave up decisively.
Yougan Bay is at the end of the mountain road, with few people, good water quality, and the restaurant has window seats and air conditioning.
On such a hot noon, what more could one ask for?

Shenzhen Hongqiao Park
The red of Shenzhen Guangming Hongqiao Park is very dazzling, and it's easy to take good photos even without trying.
The long red bridge has a bridge on top and a greenway underneath, so you can walk on the bridge above or the greenway below. However, it seems that not many people walk below, as the view is more open from above.
Photo Spot Tips
There are no shelters on the bridge, so if you go in the morning, you might want to bring a mat and a hat. It's recommended to rest under the bridge, and it's best to bring your own mat so you can rest anywhere. Bring some food, as ordering takeout there can take a very long time.
Leaving around 4 PM to walk the Hongqiao and take photos is very beautiful, with the gentle sunset providing a perfect backdrop for great shots, and you can also capture the sunset, which is quite scenic.
🎫Ticket: Free admission, you can go directly, but reservations are required on holidays. Opening hours: 7:00-22:00
📍Address: Intersection of Guangming Kelin Road and Chalin Road, Guangming District, Shenzhen
🦌The entire Hongqiao is 4KM long, and it takes about 1.5 hours to walk the whole distance. It is recommended to go early in the morning or in the evening to avoid the scorching sun during the day.

Friends from Shenzhen and Dongguan must come here to play! It's really beautiful!
Share my one-day tour strategy - the pictures are completely unfiltered! I was lucky, it was cloudy when I arrived, and it gradually cleared up, the sky was blue, and there was an evening glow at dusk~
The cover is two places, Daping Barrier Forest Park➕ Rainbow Bridge Park, not far apart (Tangxia Town, Dongguan and Guangming District, Shenzhen) nearly 20,000 steps in one day
Daping Barrier Forest Park:
Parked at the core area parking lot 🅿️, it takes about two hours to walk around the more concentrated attractions nearby. There are lychee trees and various kinds of trees, large lawns, and plenty of oxygen, very cool.
The main attractions include a maze surrounded by shrubs (rare, super fun, and very large); bamboo forest (various bamboos, very beautiful); several water features (even more beautiful on sunny days)...
⚠️Lots of mosquitoes, be sure to bring mosquito repellent❗❗❗
🌈Rainbow Bridge Park:
Parked at the north parking lot of Rainbow Bridge Park 🅿️, walked past the conspicuous little rainbow bridge, and then walked through a tunnel-like entrance to reach the real Rainbow Bridge, about 3 kilometers long. Halfway there is an observation deck, which requires climbing many flights of stairs, but the view from the top is very worth it. We took photos at the observation deck and returned the same way, the whole journey took about one and a half hours of brisk walking.
The atmosphere in this park is great, with people playing ball, rollerblading, lying flat on the grass... The grass is very delicate and textured, green and neat.
⚠️The rainbow bridge is very bright, if it's a big sun, it's not recommended to go, no shade, it may dazzle❗❗❗
Both parks are great, and there is also the Guangming District Cultural and Arts Center nearby, which I also really like! I really want to buy a house nearby to live in.

BRYANT FARMER
When in Shenzhen, you must take a walk through Guangming Hongqiao at least once
When in Shenzhen, you must visit Hongqiao Park at least once. The red ribbons spread throughout the forest add a unique charm, and there's a coffee shop in the middle where you can take a break and enjoy a cup of coffee if you get tired. Past the end of the rainbow bridge is the Datianling Forest Park, where the famous glass bridge is located. It's recommended to bring your own water and snacks, as there are no convenience stores along the way. Oh, and the coffee shop in the middle does sell water, but it's quite a distance from the entrance, so it's better to be prepared. Wear comfortable clothes and shoes, and don't forget sun protection, as you'll be exposed to the sun all the way. In summer, also be aware of mosquito bites and bring some anti-itch and mosquito repellent products.

This is the most comfortable hiking route I have walked in Shenzhen
If you often take high-speed trains, you must have noticed the dazzling red light of the less-traveled, less-crowded hiking route in the Guangming District 🔴 right before arriving in Shenzhen 🐎 Walk from Datianling Greenway to Rainbow Bridge for a nature oxygen-inhaling journey;
How to play:
1⃣️ Start from 'Grass Skiing Playground'
2⃣️ Walk slowly passing 'Floating Bridge', the beginning of this route is mostly uphill, but it becomes flatter later on
3⃣️ Continue walking to reach 'Exploration Bridge', if you have average stamina, you can choose not to go downstairs and just view from the bridge to save energy
4⃣️ Continue to reach 'Rainbow Bridge End Tower', climbing to the top of the tower to overlook the entire Rainbow Bridge is quite spectacular, the visual impact of the red bridge body 🔴 and the green forest 🟢 is very strong!
5⃣️ After coming down, continue towards the Guangqiao Road entrance and exit, this part of the route is entirely a plastic runway, which is effortless to walk on, and around 17:00 you will reach 'North Parking Lot of Rainbow Bridge Park', where you can take a bus 🚌 to 'Phoenix City' subway station
💡【Tips】:
✔️ On sunny days, it is recommended not to go to Rainbow Bridge at noon, as it is easy to get tanned 😅

Experience the thrilling off-road jungle drive in Shenzhen
The recent weather in Shenzhen is really healing! During the weekend holiday, I went to Guangming Hongqiao Park with my friends and organized an off-road vehicle! It's really fun! Girls can also play off-road jungle vehicles here without a driver's license, super exciting! Fast and Furious
If you dare not drive an off-road vehicle, you can let the coach take it, and you can choose between two people and one person freely
For safety issues, clothes, knee pads, and headgear must be prepared. The coach will also teach how to drive at the beginning. There are multiple routes, and the rugged and thrilling degree can be selected. It's especially fun, so hurry up and make an appointment with good friends for a group outing on the weekend! Highly recommended
