[2025 Shenzhen Attraction] Travel Guide for Shenzhen Soil and Water Conservation Park (Updated Oct)

#ShenzhenAttractions Shenzhen Soil and Water Conservation Technology Demonstration Park covers an area of ​​500,000 m2. Its predecessor was the abandoned Wushigang quarry in Nanshan District. In order to improve the ecological environment, eliminate the threat to the water quality of Xili Reservoir caused by exposed slopes and abandoned sites left over from quarrying, and improve the urban environment, the government started construction of this park in 2008. Its construction aims to enhance visitors' feelings towards soil and water resources through "combining education with entertainment" and to raise visitors' awareness of water resources, soil and water conservation and environmental protection. It is a famous science education attraction in Shenzhen. In terms of the display of water and soil culture, the park draws on the four elements of earth, wood, metal and water in nature to build four theme parks: Tuhou Garden, Muhua Garden, Jinzhe Garden and Shuiqing Garden. By displaying the characteristics of soil and plants, it promotes the traditional culture of protecting water and soil resources and the ecological concept of treating flowers, plants and trees well. In terms of soil and water conservation science display, the park is ingeniously conceived, with the formation, form, harm and control of soil erosion as the main design line. Through landscaping treatment techniques, it concentrates on the layout of soil and water conservation picture display areas, soil and water erosion analogy facilities, root box simulation facilities, science wooden plank roads, soil and water conservation runoff communities, soil and water conservation measures display areas, etc. The park is free to visit, it's worth your visit. Detailed address: No. 4148, Shahe West Road, Xili, Nanshan District, Shenzhen (free access) Opening hours: 9am-12pm; 2pm-5pm (closed on Mondays)

This time I chose Zuoxili District to stay at Vienna Hotel. It was very comfortable and close to I was very surprised to find more than a hundred food markets near the food street. It takes about 20 minutes to walk to the Shenzhen Soil and Water Conservation Technology Demonstration Park, where there is a very beautiful earthworm hole.

In Shenzhen, visiting the park on weekends is a good choice. I would like to recommend a place with few people and beautiful scenery to everyone. The Shenzhen Soil and Water Conservation Technology Demonstration Park was formerly the Wushigang Quarry in Nanshan District. It was completed in 2009 with the joint efforts of the Shenzhen Water Authority and the Nanshan District People's Government. The park brings together Shenzhen's urban water and soil conservation experience and scientific research results. It is a demonstration platform and extracurricular classroom that integrates popular science education, scientific and technological demonstration, experimental research, and technical exchanges. It is a demonstration park in my country with the theme of urban soil and water conservation, and it is also an important base and display window for Shenzhen to promote ecological civilization construction and water situation education and publicity. Well, that’s the official introduction. In fact, this park is quite large. The forest plank road and Earthworm Hill are very photogenic. There are also many different kinds of plants in the forest. The towering trees are very beautiful for taking pictures in the sun. There are also many stray cats running around in the forest, which are quite cute. It is recommended to play for about 2 hours and be careful of mosquito bites. There is also a place selling water inside, and the toilet facilities are relatively complete. Photography 📷Tips: Bring a large aperture lens, both telephoto and wide-angle are fine. Choose to go on a sunny or rainy day, but don't go on a cloudy day. Be sure to bring mosquito repellent, otherwise you will be bitten and cry. 🕙: 8:30～17:30 (closed on Mondays) 🎫: Free 📍: Shenzhen Soil and Water Conservation Technology Demonstration Park 🚌: Soil and Water Conservation Demonstration Park (bus stop) M197 M535, etc.
