[2025 Shenzhen Attraction] Travel Guide for Yantiangang (Updated May)

Shenzhen has no shortage of its own mountain and sea beauty⛰️. Of all the hiking trails🚶‍♂️, my favorite is this one in Yantian📍. Spend a day hiking, watching the sea of clouds, enjoying the flowers🌸, and riding a small train🚂. Recommended for those who, like me, are not very athletic but love to have fun😅~ I recommend going on a sunny day☀️, as sunlight is the best filter🌈 for mountain and sea scenery. - 🌟Route: Yantianxu Entrance - Yunhai Square - Zuiying Pavilion - Tea Stream Valley (the first three attractions are free🆓) Subway tips🚇: ↪️Outbound: Take the subway to Yantianxu Station, Exit C. Walk forward until you see the fire station. The first trail entrance is next to the fire station. ↩️Return: Walk from the last stop to the Tea Stream Valley parking lot station and take the "Yunhai Special Line" to the "Haishan Road Terminal". Then walk to Exit B of Haishan Station (Lines 2/8) and take the subway back. - 1️⃣ Hiking 🔹After entering the trail entrance, navigate to "Yunhai Square". You will also see signs along the way. Choose the path towards Meishajian and keep climbing. 🔹The total length from the entrance to Yunhai Square is about 1.4 km. The steps have a moderate slope. There are surprises along the way if you look back from time to time. It takes about 1.5-2 hours to walk there, stopping occasionally. ‼️Note that there are no restrooms on the way. It is recommended to use the restroom near the entrance and bring enough drinking water. - 2️⃣ Yunhai Square 🔹After reaching the top, you will see a pure white boat-shaped building. This is one of the best places to overlook Yantian Port. Shenzhen's highest library is open for free, and the cafe offers comfortable window seats where you can order a drink and enjoy the clouds rolling by. It's very pleasant. 🔹Note that the library is closed on Mondays‼️. Those who like excitement can try paragliding at the base next door~ - 3️⃣ Zuiying Pavilion 🔹In Xiaosanzhou, the fastest and most comfortable way is to take the "Yunhai Special Line" down from Yunhai Square to the "Zuiying Pavilion" stop. If you continue hiking, navigate to "Zuiying Pavilion". The distance is 4 km, which takes about 1 hour. 🔹Cherry blossoms bloom every year from February to March. The flowering period is relatively short. Even if you don't see the flowers, it's worth taking a stroll here. The reservoir, lawn, and greenery offer fresh air and pleasant scenery. - 4️⃣ Forest Train 🔹From "Zuiying Pavilion", continue walking down to the "Forest Train". The distance is 2.2 km, which takes about 1 hour. You can also take the "Yunhai Special Line" from the "Zuiying Pavilion" stop to the "Tea Stream Valley parking lot" stop and walk a few dozen meters to the entrance. Tickets🎫 are CNY30 on weekdays and CNY50 on weekends. Opening hours⏰ are 10:00-17:00. ⚠️As long as you don't leave the gate, you can ride the train multiple times on the same day. 🔹Here you can see the European-style buildings and beautiful lake scenery among the hidden mountain forests of Tea Stream Valley. This stop has a Miyazaki-esque style. The entire track is 5,200 meters long, and one loop takes about 50 minutes, giving you plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and take photos.

Explore the Hong Kong-Shenzhen Border⛰️at the Hung Fa Leng Country Park near the Liantang Port Hung Fa Leng Country Park is located in Sha Tau Kok, New Territories, next to Wutong Mountain in Shenzhen. It is Hong Kong's newest and 25th country park. Because it is close to the Hong Kong-Shenzhen border, you can overlook the beautiful scenery of Shenzhen and Hong Kong, such as Sha Tau Kok and Yantian Port, and see Sheung Shui, Luohu, and Futian in the distance. In addition to the natural scenery, you will also pass military relics such as trenches, the Lin Ma Hang Mine, the pillbox built by the Hong Kong British Government, and the Hakka ancient village of Lin Ma Hang Village during the hike. History and nature are intertwined, full of stories. I participated in the Agriculture, Fisheries and Conservation Department check-in event two months ago. After collecting all eight check-in points, I was able to receive a beautiful stainless steel cup. 📍Hiking route: Shan Tsui Village Road → Hung Fa Leng Family Walk → Lin Ma Hang Family Walk (passing Lin Ma Hang Mine and MacPherson's Pillbox) → Lin Ma Hang Village 🚶‍♀️Distance: approx. 9.6 km ⏰Duration: approx. 4 hours 🚌Transportation Starting point transportation: Take KMB 78K/78S from Sheung Shui Terminus to Tam Shui Hang Station, and walk 20 minutes to reach the entrance of Hung Fa Leng Family Walk.

I drove to Shenzhen during the National Day holiday. They say that when you take landscape photos, you should look at the weather. I knew that the clouds were thick this morning, but I still couldn't help but go up the mountain at 5:30 to wait. As a result, God did not disappoint me, and finally gave a beam of crepuscular rays.
