First time in Shenzhen, don’t know where to go first?
As the first subway line opened in Shenzhen, Line 1, many of the 🎡 attractions along the way are on my 🌟Private Collection List
All of them are free 🆓 and good for taking photos 📸~ I will definitely use them if I save them~
-
1️⃣Gushu Station
🔹Xiwan Mangrove Forest (P2): A sea view park where you can watch the sunset over the sea and feel the unique romance under the steel forest.
🔹Taihua Wutong Island (P3): The office of the gods. The bald cypress trees surrounding the artificial lake are most beautiful from December to January every year when they change color. Small animals roam freely, and there are teahouses and libraries, creating a quiet and healing atmosphere.
-
2️⃣Daxin Station
🔹Dutch Flower Town (P4): A European-style garden-style flower market. Every year, a flower show is held at the windmill. You can see a variety of flowers at affordable prices. There are also pet trading and afternoon tea.
-
3️⃣ Gaoxin Park Station
🔹 Mixc World (P5): I have never been disappointed every time I go to Kefa Road outdoor high street. The different theme check-in installations are very good for taking photos. The large shopping mall has everything from food and entertainment. It is very suitable for dating and sister photo shoots~
-
4️⃣ Window of the World Station
🔹 Melania Town (P6): If you want to check in European-style buildings but don’t want to buy tickets to enter Window of the World, you can come to the European-style town next to it. The style of Prague is like traveling abroad in a second. Even a novice can capture the atmosphere~
-
5️⃣ OCT Station
🔹 Ecological Plaza (P7) & Yanhanshan Country Park (P8): The two connected attractions are very niche, literary and forest-style, and not crowded on weekends and holidays. There are food and drink shops at multiple exits from the square and the park, which is very convenient.
-
6️⃣OCT East Station
🔹OCT Creative Cultural Park (P9): Transformed from industrial ruins, this young community integrates book culture, coffee shops, art exhibitions and creative markets. It is one of the favorite places for young artists.
-
7️⃣ Zhuzilin Station
🔹 Garden Expo Park (P10): See a collection of Chinese and foreign gardens in one go. There are different flowers to check in all seasons. In March, the Bougainvillea Waterfall of Huifang Garden will be here. The pink and white varieties + garden scenery fully demonstrate Chinese aesthetics.
-
8️⃣Huaqiang Road Station:
🔹Central Park (P11): An urban oasis, it is rare to find a place away from the hustle and bustle in the city center, with green trees, shimmering lakes, and a large lawn for picnics and camping.
