Tea Valley is a scenic spot in OCT East, which includes four tourist areas: Interlaken, Wetland Garden, Chaweng Ancient Town and Sanzhou Tea Garden.
The most beautiful part of the wetland garden is the four-season flower field, which is composed of colorful flower ribbons, forming a large sea of flowers with rich colors.
Sanzhou Tea Garden is also very good, with hundreds of acres of rolling tea fields. You can pick tea by yourself, and there are also people who fry tea. You can take it away, but there is a fee.
Interlaken is like a small Swiss town, with beautiful Central European mountain architecture, a tranquil lake, and beautiful small houses. Many people come here to take wedding photos.

Among the three valleys in OCT, Tea Creek Valley is probably the most visited and popular one, and it contains the most abundant tourism resources and projects. Hotels, performances, hot springs, flower fields, science, rain forests, mountain trails, tea gardens... are suitable for tourists of different ages and interests. The overall management level is also quite good.
A scenic spot full of European style, not very large ~ low cost performance...
OCT East and Tea Creek Valley are separate, and it takes about two days to visit. OCT East is mainly amusement park, and it can be said to be an amusement park built on a mountain. Hahahaha~ It is best to take a cable car to the aerial plank road first, and then come down to play other projects. The small train on Douyin is in Tea Creek Valley. Tea Creek Valley is mainly for the scenery, and there are basically no attractions. It is also to take the small train first, and then go back to other attractions.
Very beautiful, relaxing, beautiful mountains and waters, feeding pigeons is our most important project and we played for several hours
After the typhoon, many scenic spots were not open and the small trains were also out of service. There was a tourist bus in Chaxi Ancient Town, but the staff had a very bad attitude. I will not go there next time.
The town of Interlaken is a man-made landscape with a European style, with a bit of Swiss and Austrian flavor. The Chaweng Ancient Town is a typical Han-style building complex, and the Sanzhou Tea Garden is mainly natural scenery.
We were unlucky this time because the wetland garden was temporarily closed due to the damage caused by Typhoon Mangkhut, so we didn't get to go. But even so, we didn't visit all the remaining three areas because they were too big.
These four areas are integrated. To enter any of them, you must buy a ticket for Tea Creek Valley, and even if one or more of them are temporarily closed, there is no discount. The full price ticket for Tea Creek Valley is 180 yuan, which is 20 yuan cheaper than the next door Daxia Valley, but the pass for the two scenic spots is only 300 yuan, which seems very affordable.
However, this is just an illusion. As mentioned before, both scenic spots are very large, and you may not be able to visit them all by visiting only one, and it is too much of a stretch to visit both. However, the two-day combined ticket for 350 yuan is quite affordable. If you have time, you can buy this ticket and visit these two places in two consecutive days.
By the way, we drove there with a friend. This place is in the mountains, and you have to walk a long way around the mountain. There are very few people outside the holidays, and the entrance looks deserted. It seems that you can only get there by car.
The entrance gate of Tea Creek Valley can also be regarded as the gate of Interlaken Town, because the town is right after the gate. The upper level is an elevated walkway that leads to the Interlaken Railway Station not far away, where tourists can take the famous Eastern Overseas Chinese Town Forest Train to Daxia Valley. I like this palace-style tune. Go up the palace-style steps and turn left (north), and there is a mountain path. It leads to the elevated plank road of the wetland garden. The path forks again and leads to a hillside. The building on the mountain in the distance is the Dahuaxing Temple. The highest statue on the top of the mountain is the four-faced Guanyin. Looking west on the hillside, you can vaguely see the town of Interlaken.
Interlaken Market is a street of restaurants and shopping. The buildings at both ends of the market are very beautiful, belonging to the exquisite metal European style. It was still early when we arrived, and the shops in the market were not open. I like this place just from the architectural style. It reminds me of the main venue of the first World Expo in human history - the Crystal Palace in London.
The lawn in front of the Water Golf Leisure Club is neatly trimmed. Although the steps are slightly damaged, they look more classical. Standing here, it feels like you are really in Europe.
We went to Chaxi Valley during the National Day holiday. It was the season of clear and crisp autumn weather. It was really suitable to visit such a place. However, there were too many people during the holiday and activities, so we spent the whole morning in the queue, just to queue up for the train. But when we got on the train at 12 o'clock, we found that it was really worth queuing. The train took 6 kilometers and 40 minutes. The scenery at the villa end was the most beautiful, and it would pass through the tunnel. We entered the park at 9:00 in the morning and left the park at 6:00 in the afternoon. We just went around Chaxi Valley. The train must be checked in, and there is also Fengxi Teng Bridge. It is my last stop because I found it after a circle. The scenery is also very beautiful. It is a place where you can take a lot of beautiful photos!
The guide was not well prepared, and I was cheated when I bought the ticket... There was pigeon feeding at the gate, which was a bit disappointing at first. But after walking around slowly, it was still suitable for taking pictures or taking children out. You must take a ride on the train, it's a great experience to enjoy the scenery in the breeze.
A small town full of European exoticism, with a small train shuttling through the jungle, slowly and clanging~~
Driving on the winding mountain road in the thick fog is tiring and frightening, but when you see the waterfalls, sea of clouds, flower fields, tea gardens, and castles in the clouds, the beauty is worth the effort.
Worth it. The ticket cost 144 yuan. The biggest pitfall was that it cost 15 yuan for the bus from OCT to Chaxi Valley, which we didn't know in advance. There is a KFC in the scenic area, and the price is acceptable, so eating is not a problem. It is recommended to bring water, which is quite expensive in the scenic area, and we were reluctant to buy it. The selling point of the scenic area is the natural scenery, and I took a lot of beautiful photos; I was quite impressed by several bridges, which are very thrilling and unique. We went there in heavy rain, and I thought it would affect the fun, but the rain made the air smoky, not hot, and refreshing.
During the Spring Festival, the entrance to the scenic area was crowded with people, so you must be prepared. It was said that the small train at the entrance would take more than two hours to queue, so I decisively gave up.
Before going to Tea Creek Valley, you can pass Dameisha. If you are traveling by yourself, you can consider arranging this stop because it is not far from Tea Creek Valley in OCT East. If you follow a day tour, you will not have the opportunity to see Dameisha, and Tea Creek Valley is about a shuttle bus away from the entrance-Daxi Valley. The shuttle bus usually runs every 20 minutes, and the whole journey is about 20 minutes, 15 yuan/person, which is not included in the day tour fee.
To the left of the entrance to the Tea Valley is the sky train, which overlooks the entire valley. It takes about 20 minutes to go around. If you want to walk, you can go up from the left to see the town, the tea plantation, and then the large sea of flowers and the maze. The air and scenery are great.
The scenery of Chaxi Valley is nice and you can spend a whole day there, but it is quite far from the city.
Shenzhen OCT East is a large ecological resort with beautiful scenery. The Daxia Valley and Tea Creek Valley theme parks are its core areas. Daxia Valley is a fusion of natural scenery and thrilling amusement projects, while Tea Creek Valley is a pastoral scenery with blooming flowers.
After waiting in line for more than ten minutes on the second-floor platform, I finally got on the forest train that Nuoge had been dreaming about. The train travels between Tea Creek Valley and the Grand Canyon. Tourists who bought the double valley ticket can get on the train at Tea Creek Valley and get off at the Grand Canyon, or vice versa. People like us who only bought the Tea Creek Valley ticket can only take the loop line back the same way. The scenery you see on the train is the essence of the Tea Creek Valley tour. In comparison, the scenery on the road from the Grand Canyon to the Tea Creek Valley is better. At this time, the wind blows away the clouds, and you can cross the canyon, see the scenery in the Tea Creek Valley, and enjoy the refreshing mountain breeze in the forest.
It is a physical activity to visit the Tea Valley. You have to go up the mountain and cross the bridge. There are chain bridges, iron bridges, wooden bridges, and rope bridges. This valley is really huge.
There are three valleys in OCT East. The Tea Creek Valley has beautiful scenery and is suitable for taking photos and sightseeing. It is recommended with 4 stars.
Tea Creek Valley is a holiday park in Shenzhen OCT East, located on Dashuikeng Road, Yantian District, Shenzhen. The Tea Creek Valley scenic area is large and beautiful, with several styles and characteristics that have their own merits. The small town style of the scenic spot is the most attractive, and the flower sea world in the Tea Creek Valley is very beautiful. There are few restaurants in the scenic area, so it is recommended to bring your own snacks and water to save trouble and have more fun.
Tea Valley~~~~a green world, a world of flowers, a world where Chinese and Western cultures blend together, a world of leisure and vacation. There are four tourist areas in the valley: Interlaken Town, Chaweng Ancient Town, Sanzhou Tea Garden and Wetland Garden. It combines the style of a western mountain town, the elegance of Lingnan tea fields and the romance of a wetland flower sea.
Located between green mountains, green waters, tea fields and wetlands, the area is full of dense bamboo forests, gurgling streams and a large amount of negative ions in the air. It is an ideal place for tourists to cleanse their bodies and minds, explore the mysteries and get close to nature.
Serious complaint about the inhumane ticket inspection and unreasonable standards of Chaxi Valley. The scenic spot claims that people over 70 years old can get free tickets with valid ID. The elderly who were traveling with me were refused the elderly ID card with ID number. The ticket inspector insisted that the elderly ID card was invalid and that the ID card or plane ticket, high-speed rail ticket, or even the photo of the ID card must be shown. This policy is a discount for the elderly. Isn't it enough to prove that the tourist is over 70 years old? Why must we insist on the so-called valid ID card? Besides, the elderly ID card has the elderly's photo, ID number and the seal of the issuing authority on it. Why is it not a valid ID card? On the contrary, air tickets and high-speed rail tickets are valid ID cards? Moreover, there is no instrument to check the authenticity of the ID card. How can the authenticity of these so-called valid ID cards or even ID cards be proved? ? ! ! Why do you say that the elderly ID card cannot prove the authenticity? For such an unreasonable so-called scenic spot policy, these ticket inspectors also feel at ease to make it difficult for an 80-year-old man to blow the wind at the door. They must show the so-called ID card with a stern face. It is a completely overbearing clause and not humane at all. I called the attraction to complain, but the customer service staff said that I could enjoy the discount with my Shenzhen senior citizen card. Can you tell me that the Shenzhen senior citizen card is definitely a genuine one? The senior citizen card we hold can enjoy discounts all over the country, but not in Shenzhen. What kind of policy or terms is this? The so-called complaint phone did not help us solve the problem and there was no feedback. It was useless. How can such a large attraction welcome guests from all over the world with such unreasonable terms, inhumane services and a non-existent complaint mechanism? How can it develop sustainably?
Tea Valley is a holiday park in Shenzhen OCT East, located on Dashuikeng Road, Yantian District, Shenzhen. It mainly includes: Interlaken, Wetland Garden, Sanzhou Tea Garden, Chaweng Ancient Town, Water Golf Driving Range, Rooftop Retractable Tennis Hall, OCT East Grand Theater, etc. It combines the style of western mountain towns, the integration of tea and Zen culture, the elegance of Lingnan tea fields and the romance of wetland flowers.
Tea Creek Valley was the first itinerary of my trip to Shenzhen. Tea Creek Valley is a holiday park in Shenzhen OCT East. It is far from Baishizhou where I live. I took 5 buses and spent three hours to get to Tea Creek Valley. Tea Creek Valley is very large, including four tourist areas: Interlaken Town, Chaweng Ancient Town, Sanzhou Tea Garden and Wetland Garden. It combines the style of western mountain towns, the integration of tea and Zen culture, the elegance of Lingnan tea fields and the romance of wetland flowers. This time I traveled alone, so it is not suitable for entertainment parks such as Daxia Valley. I think Tea Creek Valley is more suitable for me. I can see the scenery and take pictures by myself. It can be very fresh. My favorite part of Tea Creek Valley is Interlaken Town. Interlaken Town is a town built according to the template of the Swiss town Interlaken. It exudes a romantic and elegant atmosphere everywhere. I saw many newlyweds choose to come here to take wedding photos. Tea Creek Valley opening hours: Monday to Friday: 09:30-17:30 Weekends and holidays: 09:00-17:30 Ticket price: 180 yuan It is recommended to visit for one day. I arrived at Tea Creek Valley at 11 o'clock in the morning and left at 6 o'clock in the afternoon. It took a total of 7 hours. Tea Creek Valley gave me the feeling that it was a very beautiful place, very suitable for taking pictures. I like the photos I took in Tea Creek Valley. In short, Tea Creek Valley is a good place for leisure and vacation.
It was drizzling on the day I went there, and the air in the Tea Valley, washed by the rain, was even fresher. If you want to clean your lungs, come to the Tea Valley.
There is a small train in Tea Creek Valley, which is great!
At Interlaken train station, the train runs very slowly and you can see a lot of scenery in the Tea Valley.
There is also a Tian Chan performance, which is charged separately and is also very good and has won a major award.
I personally recommend taking an electric car. You really have to use your legs to walk. It will take you a whole day, and you may not be able to finish the journey. So get on the car and sit, enjoying the mountain breeze and green shade!
The weather was great!! As soon as we entered the gate, we saw the four-season flower fields. Since it was noon, we went to the town to find something to eat.
As a result, the slightly cheaper ones were packed with people.
So…we entered an empty restaurant – an Italian restaurant!
Please recognize this! The set meal is 78 yuan per person, which includes unlimited fruit and drinks.
But in fact, the only drinks available are lemonade and Fanta, and the only fruits available are watermelon and cantaloupe!
There are many small attractions inside, which are beautiful and fun.
Although I felt that the ticket to Tea Valley was a bit expensive after the whole journey, I was still shocked and sincerely felt the beauty of the four-season flower fields as soon as I entered. Even though I am not a flower maniac, I can still be intoxicated by the romance of the sea of flowers!
It is a quiet and elegant place in the East Overseas Chinese Town. It is just that you need to walk a lot more than Daxia Valley because there are not as many escalators as in Daxia Valley. (Take the battery car from Bodhi Guesthouse to Daguaiwan Railway Station, and take the small train to Chaxi Valley)
Once you enter Tea Valley
Obviously and the Grand Canyon give people the feeling of two different worlds
If the Grand Canyon is an adventure world, then Tea Creek Valley is the back garden.
As we turned the corners, we saw even more amazing views with a strong visual impact. It turned out that there was the last feast of the Grand Canyon Scenic Area, the "Tribe in the Clouds".
If you have enough time, you can have more fun on a three-day tour, staying in OCT East for one day and in Dameisha for one day. If you are lucky, you can even watch the sunrise over the sea.
Flower fields bloom all year round, the fragrance of flowers wafts in the air... Tea Creek Valley is beautiful in every way.
There are various kinds of bridges in Chaxi Valley, including suspension bridges, iron chain bridges, steel structure bridges, stone bridges, bamboo bridges, and wooden bridges. Their shapes are also varied. Walking on them, you will feel like you are floating on the clouds, going up and down.
Although it is a little old, it is not easy to maintain such a large park. Tourists should also understand the operators. Bringing parents here to take a walk, breathe fresh air in the Tea Tree Ancient Town, and see the beautiful Interlaken town, my parents are still very happy. The small train is worth a ride. It can take more than 100 people at a time, and it will also depart if the number of people is not enough. The first train starts at 10:00, which is really on time, so you must arrive early, otherwise you will have to wait for half an hour for the next trip, and you can only go somewhere else to hang out. At this time, the flowers in the wetland park have not bloomed much, but I still went in and walked around when I came, just as a physical exercise. The last picture is the station of the 909 minibus (the only means of transportation from the direct bus drop-off point to the Tea Valley). People over 70 years old are free of charge, and the rest must pay full price. There is a bus every 20 minutes.
