Shenzhen's new bougainvillea hotspot—with the latest updates and best photo spots.

I've been chasing flowers all spring, but this is the most beautiful flower sea I've seen! I declare this the pinnacle of bougainvillea in Shenzhen! Pink and white flower cascades spill over the eaves, creating an oil painting-like scene under the sunlight. Red bougainvillea can be found around the corners of the ancient alleys, even more stunning in person. 📍 Gankeng Hakka Town ⏰ Bougainvillea blooming season, lasting until late March 🚄 Transportation: Take Metro Line 10 to Gankeng Station, Exit B. Walk 10 minutes to the south gate of the ancient town, then walk straight for 150m to "Ganwei Alley." Follow the route map to begin your flower sea stroll. Tips Taking photos on a sunny day is recommended, with the softest light after 3 pm. Some buildings in the ancient town block the light, so wearing light or bright-colored clothing for photos is recommended. Add a soft glow to your photos for an oil painting effect. Lr is the recommended editing software.
