Getting There - You can take subway line 2/8 to Houhai station where you can exit at D2 and take the stairs up to the really cool outdoor mall strip.

Hotels - There are hotels all around this area.
Food & Restaurants - Most of the top floor (outdoor) is filled with restaurants, especially western cuisine. You have so many options in this area.

The Ultimate Animal Cafe
The Fantastic Beasts Cafe takes the new "animal cafe" trend to a new level. You may have been to a cat or dog cafe before, but i doubt you have been to a cafe like this.
Located near Houhai subway station in Nanshan district of Shenzhen, The Fantastic Beasts is a cafe at the top of a medium sized mall. It costs 80 RMB per person for entry, and entry comes with a choice of free drink. You are also given a small packet of carrot sticks to feed to some of the animals.
There are many seating areas around the cafe and a smaller upstairs section. Roaming around the cafe are a couple of micro-pigs and micro-goats, both of which will be your best friend if you are carrying any carrot sticks. At the starting end of the cafe are three larger pens, one of which has a small deer, one has two alpacas, and one has a large parrot. These animals change occaisionally and they had a small horse before. One alpaca also roams around the cafe (dont worry, he's friendly). Further into the cafe is a glass room with several cats, you can enter this glass room if you ask the staff and pet the cats. Around the perimeter of the cafe are cages containing rabbits, guinea pigs, ducks, small birds, hamsters and more. One side of the cafe also has a meerkat enclosure with several meerkats and there is a plastic dome with a tunnel for photo opportunities. They also have a raccoon.
At the other end of the cafe is another room with several cats and kittens that are for sale. They have a variety of breeds and you can liase with the staff to find out about how to adopt one for yourself.
Overall a pretty unique experience and one i would strongly recommend for animal lovers in Shenzhen.

My friend asked if this place was free.
It should be promoted nationwide!
I was shocked when I entered the store.
The ingredients in front of each person were piled up like a small mountain.
My best friend asked if this place was free. What kind of family conditions are needed❓
I saw the price list and realized the confidence behind ordering so much food.
5 yuan, 10 yuan, 13 yuan, 28 yuan per plate💰
For just over 100 yuan, you can fill the table, and feel very happy.
The main selling point is the cost performance❗
-
The store is very spacious, with refrigerators full of ingredients.
Fresh seafood🦪, freshly made beef balls🍢, freshly cut meat🥩, mushrooms and vegetables🥗, cold dishes and desserts🧁, drinks and alcohol🍺
150➕ kinds of ingredients, 20➕ kinds of seafood, everything you need.
One pot per person, everything you need, take whatever you want🧺
There are many choices of soup base flavors, the most recommended is the white porridge base.
There are also spicy pots, tomato pots, etc.
It's really hard to choose for those with choice anxiety!#
So why not fill the table to the brim?
-
🧾Order recommendations
Beef🥩, prawns🦐, scallops🍥, small lobsters🦞, oysters🦪, cod flowers🐟, fried dough sticks🥖...
-
🥢Eating recommendations
First add seafood, then meat, and finally drink porridge.
Paired with the store's secret dipping sauce, it's fresh, fragrant, and tender.
The soup base will absorb the aroma of the ingredients during cooking.
The last pot of porridge is the essence of the meal.
Add celery and end with a bowl of hot porridge.
It's delicious‼️Super satisfying‼️
-
Call three or five friends to come.
Spend tens of yuan per person💰and get a full sense of life.

Shenzhen Today's Romance: Lavender Trumpet Trees Blossom Everywhere, A Pink Sea of Flowers Awaits You
The lavender trumpet trees in Shenzhen are in full bloom, resplendent like a dream of a pink sea of flowers! In the winter days, these dazzling flowers bloom on the streets, bringing an unparalleled romantic atmosphere, as if strolling down a cherry blossom avenue.
Now is the peak blooming season, and with fewer people around, it's time to capture this fleeting and beautiful moment. Grab your camera now!
The lavender trumpet trees in Talent Park are taller and can form a perfect picture with the beauty of the Spring Bamboo and the Houhai Central River, especially suitable for portrait photography. It is recommended to shoot around 4 pm when the light is soft, making it easier to capture the delicate gloss of the pink petals.
For the best photography effect, please choose to go out in clear weather, which can better highlight the tender colors of the flowers. Most of the excellent photo spots are near the windmill area (on the seaside).
Photography Location Guide:
- Talent Park (parking areas P2-P3)
- Houhai Central River, Shenzhen Bay Sea Breeze Sports Park (start from Wanxia Station, walk towards the seaside along the riverbank to reach)
Don't miss this visual feast of a pink sea of flowers, come and experience a touch of romance in Shenzhen's winter!

A mall for night and day in Shenzhen
Shenzhen is a city full of malls and at times it can be hard to find the difference between them, that’s why CoastalCity in Nanshan stands out.
Coastal city is a raised walkway and public space that weaves its way through various shopping malls, it has an amazing range of shops for the day and then restaurants, bars and entertainment for night.
The focal point of the walkway is a big tunnel installation made of lights, at night it changes colour and coordinates with light shows on the surrounding buildings.
The mall has a range of high street and mid level brands long with an ice rink, cinema and food court.
Take the metro to Houhai station and follow the signs for coastal city! #trip #instatravel #shopping #foodie

Kumo-Kumo in SZ 🍰
One of the emerging cheesecake maker in the city, talk of the towns' Kumo-Kumo is among the tops.
For me, its best cheesecake in Shenzhen so farrrrr! 😋
They do offer plain.cheesecake and chocolate cheesecake. And that luscious cheese ice cream is to die for... 🥰 This little kiosk serves hundreds everyday. All trying to get a piece of their very popular cheesecake. Reasonable prices for a very good food.

We visited Houhai Harbor, a nice mall near Shenzhen Talent Park. there is a climbing wall in this mall and some cafe on the first floor. The mall connected to line 11, so you don’t have to worry about getting the metro to take you to another places. Several famous brands will be in this mall as well. It is a nice place to spend the afternoon with your loved ones.
City: Shenzhen.
Metro: Line 11 Houhai.
