1️⃣OCT Creative Cultural Park (P9-P13)
🔹It has transformed from an abandoned industrial area into Shenzhen's "798", retaining the mottled concrete walls and steel trusses, but infused with the soul of books, coffee, art exhibitions and handmade markets. The "Shenzhen" wall is a must-see spot.
🔹The T Street Creative Market is held on the first and third weekends of every month, with works by handcraftsmen and independent designers gathered, and it is a must-visit for literary and artistic young people.

2️⃣OPOWER Culture and Art Center (P4, P14-P16)
🔹The blue industrial-style children's playground + cultural and creative space transformed from an abandoned power plant is very creative in itself. There are small theaters, art installations, parent-child interaction areas and dining areas in the park to meet the needs of different people.
🔹Many irregular corners have become rare photo-taking spots. Order a cup of coffee, find a corner to sit down and bask in the sun, and even time becomes lazy.
🔹You can have lunch at the 📍Happy Hour opposite, where you can choose the food and drinks you want.
-
3️⃣Portofino Pure Waterfront·Crescent Square (P2, P5, P17, P18)
🔹From O·POWER to here, there are green corridors along the way, the lake is shimmering, and you can occasionally see egrets and other migratory birds. It can be seen that the ecological environment here is great.
🔹The Crescent Square was built based on the prototype of the Italian town of Portofino. The lake reflects the sky and buildings into a beautiful painting. The lakeside boardwalk is very suitable for taking pictures. Bringing bread to feed wild ducks and small fish is very healing.
-
4️⃣Qiaochengfang (P6-P8)
🔹An open block integrating modern art and commerce, the buildings are stacked with geometric blocks, and the sky corridors and sunken squares are full of design sense.
🔹Some activities are held from time to time to become an art space, so you can check in at the same time. The rooftop garden overlooks the entire Overseas Chinese City. You may want to enjoy afternoon tea here and take a break before moving on.

5️⃣Qiaocheng North Park (P3, P19, P20)
🔹The end of the ride is a hidden urban oasis. The park is based on natural mountains, and the trails meander through bamboo forests and wetlands.
🔹The hydrangeas we encountered by chance were eye-catching. The platform coming out of the restroom turned out to be a small viewing space. From time to time, the sound of wind and birdsong could be heard on the wooden plank road in the woods, which also provided a great angle and position for taking photos. If you have time, you can go up to the observation deck to enjoy the skyline at sunset, which is very romantic.
