🕵Travel guide:
1⃣There are many intersecting roads in the Overseas Chinese Town, where you can walk or ride a bike. 🚴🚴 You don't need to come in the evening, because there are dense trees on both sides of the road. 🌴🌴 You won't feel the sun, and it is very comfortable to walk on the tree-lined path. ~🐶
·
2⃣There is a beautiful Swan Lake in the park. 🍃🍂 You can reach it by walking from Yanhanshan. You can see swans on Egret Island. 🕊 The breeze and the clear lake give you a sense of seclusion in the city. You can take photos on the bridge, and you will get forest-style photos. 🌿🌿
·
3⃣If you have enough time, you can also visit the nearby art galleries and some treasure shops. There is also a handmade shop for making aromatherapy. 🔮 There are few people, so you can enjoy it.
💗Other tips:
🔹Open all day, no tickets required
🔹There are many mosquitoes in the lush forest, so bring mosquito repellent
🔹There is no water for sale in the park, and there are not many convenience stores around. I brought LINLEE's new product: Green Orange and Green Grape Ice!!
A sip of green sweetness/a sip of orange fragrance, double refreshment 🥰
Two tea bases to choose from: Jasmine/Green Tea

Shenzhen Yanhanshan Country Park | A hidden forest sanctuary in the city
| A hidden forest sanctuary in the city. Shenzhen's least noticeable park, which is why there are very few visitors here, making it tranquil and dark. Walking through the forest, the dense foliage overhead blocks out the sky. The air is especially fresh after the rain. Slow down and experience this sense of isolation from the world. On rainy days, come to take photos with a dark forest theme. The park is small, but the few scenic spots are hard to find, requiring a big detour. Each spot is very photogenic once you find the right composition.
Features:
① The park focuses on a natural, ecological environment with dense vegetation and dirt paths.
② Suitable for hiking, walking, family and friends picnics, catching fish by the creek with kids, and photography. The first few pictures are popular spots for social media, attracting many young people to take photos.
③ Pet-friendly park. Many happy dogs can be seen on the large lawn of the ecological square.
⛲️ Park opening hours: Open all day. Free admission.
How to get there:
🚕 Drive and navigate to "Overseas Chinese Town Sports and Cultural Center Parking Lot," then walk a short distance to the "Ecological Square."
🚃 Metro Line 8, Qiaocheng North Station B, about an 8-minute walk.
Tips: The park has good ecology, so be prepared for mosquitoes.
