#深圳景点 The farm trip in March and April last year is still engraved in my heart. Stepping into it is like entering a painting. It deserves the reputation of being the top 1 Monet Garden in Shenzhen️⃣. The sea of ​​flowers is in full bloom, with all kinds of unknown flowers blooming wantonly, pink, purple and white colors intertwined, like a dream. When the breeze blows, ripples appear in the sea of ​​flowers, just like the dancing oil paints under Monet's brush. The fruits and vegetables in the fields also compete to show their faces, with tender carrots hidden under the green leaves, as if showing vitality to people. And now, just thinking about it makes me super excited, there will be brand new scenes appearing on the farm this year! Will it be a more romantic flower path design, or the addition of an interesting farming experience area? I am really looking forward to going on another date with nature, to see the spring scenery that reappears thousands of times, and to find the most authentic beauty of life among the ridges of the fields. I believe that the new surprise will not disappoint you. Let’s wait together for the new look of the farm to be revealed💐.
