They say Fairy Lake Botanical Garden hides "Shenzhen's Aranya"—I had to see for myself! Having visited a few times before, my strongest memories were the cactus spines in the tropical zone, the humidity in the spore area, and the butterflies and bees that loved buzzing around people. But this trip brought so many new discoveries! I managed to snap some satisfying photos before the rain clouds rolled in. In order: South Gate - Lake Area - Sky and Earth Zone - Alsophila Lake - Cycad Garden - Tianchi (Heavenly Pool) Entrance - Cycad Garden Trail - Rest Area - A super vibrant tree by the roadside (forgot where exactly) - Bamboo Garden - Tianchi. A few tips: The Hongfa Temple blessing cards must be downloaded before claiming—you can scan on-site or prepare in advance. Buses have two routes: the Garden Loop and the Hongfa Temple Line—don’t mix them up! Alsophila Lake isn’t as big as expected, but the landscaping is exquisite, perfect for photos (though there might be a short queue). The Sky and Earth Zone’s lawn is under maintenance, so give the grass some time to grow. The Cycad Garden museum has limited opening hours—if it’s midday, explore elsewhere first. Fun observation: The fish in Tianchi seem shyer—maybe fewer people walk this path? They dart away the moment you approach, which is pretty adorable. The garden is huge, so don’t forget sun protection and bug repellent before setting off!

#2024TravelReview In Xili, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, there is a peaceful place - Hongfa Temple. As you step into the temple, the ancient buildings and the green pines and cypresses complement each other beautifully, and the time seems to slow down in the smoke. I strolled along the stone road, listening to the clear ringing of bells and the melodious chanting of Buddhist scriptures, and my soul found a moment of peace. Koi fish swim leisurely in the pond inside the temple, adding a bit of liveliness to this solemn place. In front of the main hall, believers pray devoutly, and their expectations for life are touching. When we left, the setting sun shone obliquely, and the afterglow dyed the entire temple golden, like a living Zen painting. This trip is not only a sightseeing, but also a baptism of the soul. #深圳鸿法寺 #心之旅 #中国佛教文化 #城市的静角 #放生塘的Koi #大雄宝殿 #禅意生活 #旅行记

The large lawn is very picturesque, and the lake next to it (didn't notice what it's called) is also very picturesque when the weather is good. #红法师 #深圳香港法师 #Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden #Where to go in Shenzhen on weekends #Shenzhen photo #Shenzhen

🌸Flowers have an appointment, spring will not be delayed. Shenzhen's Xianhu Botanical Garden, coupled with the good weather with blue sky and white clouds, is so healing and intoxicating🤭 ⏰Opening hours: 8:00–18:00 🎫Tickets: 15 yuan for adults, 5 yuan for students (book tickets at Xianhu gzh) 🚗Transportation: 1. Metro Line 8, Xianhu Road Station, Exit C2 2. Self-driving navigation "Xianhu Botanical Garden Parking Lot" There are not enough parking spaces in the three-dimensional garden! It is difficult to make an appointment in advance with the Shenzhen Traffic Police even one day in advance. 🫰Recommend the subway: parking is difficult and the parking fee is very expensive. The subway station is very close to the main entrance. ⚠️Attention! Don’t think that Xianhu Botanical Garden is just a botanical garden, it is almost the same as Xianhu National Geopark! It’s so huge that it’s impossible to visit all of it, so I’ve prepared all the check-in points for you. Be sure to save your energy and don’t go to any unimportant places! Navigate directly to every location! (Figure 2 is a roadmap) 【Recommended Tour Route】 After entering the park, take the shuttle bus to Tianshang Renjian (the big lawn, flower sea and Little Switzerland are all referred to here) Tianshang Renjian> Hongfa Temple (super effective)> Podocarpus Garden (there is a lonely tree at the door)> Deng Xiaoping's hand-planted tree> Bonsai Garden (I don't know how to appreciate it, it's up to me)> Cactus and Succulent Garden> Aquatic Garden> Lake Area> Bamboo Garden> Shuttle Bus> Take the shuttle bus back There is nothing to do on the left side of the lake, so there is no need to waste energy 【Attractions】 1⃣️Heaven on Earth, the Shenzhen version of Little Switzerland. Many people don’t believe that this is Shenzhen. The photos here are really great. It is recommended to come here in the morning as there will be a lot of people in the afternoon. 2⃣️ Hongfa Temple is very popular, and many people come to worship Buddha in Hongfa Temple. You can get Sangui incense for free, but you cannot light it. 3⃣️ Podocarpus Garden There are two very special trees on the lawn at the entrance of the Podocarpus Garden, one big and one small. It is easy to take life photos here. The big lawn is perfect for lying down and taking a nap. The 20-minute park rule is true! 4⃣️ Cactus and Succulent Garden The huge cacti and various succulent tropical plants are really unheard of and eye-opening, like being in a tropical desert! 5⃣️ Aquatic Garden: There are large tracts of bald cypress right here, with stone bridges, lake views, plank roads, and egrets. This is the most photogenic corner of the entire park, don’t miss it. 6⃣️Deng Xiaoping planted trees by hand. There are many trees planted by great men around the lake, not just Deng Xiaoping. The tree canopy is really super dense, and you can see the development of history. ⚠️Notes 1. There is no food for sale inside. The water is sold in the self-service vending machines. When I went there, it was sold out. Be sure to prepare in advance. 2. If you want to take nice photos, go there as early as possible. There are many people going to Hongfa Temple, so you can go in the opposite direction of them first. #Xianhu Botanical Garden #Xianhu Botanical Garden Flower Show #ShenzhenXianhu Botanical Garden #ShenzhenXianhu Hongfa Temple #Xianhu Botanical Garden Photoshoot #Where to go on weekends #Xianhu Botanical Garden Guide #Shenzhen Travel #Where to go on weekends in Shenzhen #Shenzhen Attractions

My dear sisters, when you come to Shenzhen, you must go to #Xianhu Botanical Garden. This is one of the best botanical gardens in the country! The oxygen content is extremely high, and all kinds of plants are oversized here, so it’s very fun to walk around 😆😆😆 Slide to the picture, there is a specific route. What you should pay attention to is: 📌You must take the shuttle bus from the entrance to Hongfa Temple (don’t ask why, because it’s too hot and sunny, and there’s a lot of walking behind, so you have to save your strength!) The unit price is 3 meters. 📌You can climb to the top of Hongfa Temple from the right side along the moving route. On the way, there will be QR codes to scan and pray for incense and good luck cards. 📌 Come out of #Hongfa Temple and go to the right to see the ferns (there is a conservation period, not available every day) and 1️⃣ Podocarpus Garden 📌After visiting the pine garden, go to the 2️⃣ bonsai garden in the direction of the lake, and then continue to walk up to see the aquatic life. There is a large area of ​​lotus flowers, which is very good for taking pictures, and there are water birds catching fish. Look at my fourth live photo! 📌3️⃣Cactus Succulents🌵The succulent area is particularly good, but it is also very hot and exposed to the sun, so put on some sunscreen at this time, my dears! 📌If you want to save some energy, you don’t have to go to the forest behind the succulents. Go directly around the lake to the 4️⃣ hole bridge. There is a pavilion near it, where you can enjoy the beautiful scenery.😌 📌Follow the sign to 5️⃣The herb garden is very large and you need to return by the same route, but the plants inside are very interesting. It is still recommended to take a look. There is a large area of ​​rosemary and butterflies will come close to you🦋. A little further up the road are the gymnosperms. You need to climb a small hill, but it’s very photogenic, so come on sisters! 📌After leaving the naked area, go straight to 6️⃣Heaven on Earth. Shenzhen people’s own #Altai is here! Enjoy #nature #nature's gift #nature cures all unhappiness Enjoying this big lawn, it's really fun 🥳 📌On the way back, we walked to Hongfa Temple to catch the bus! Because it’s less than 2km to walk out, and only 500 meters to catch the bus! Bring a bottle of water! Although there are water dispensers inside, you may not be able to find a water dispenser when you want to drink. There are many plants inside, and it is hot and sunny. I drank two bottles of water and I was gulping. I walked 20,000 steps in 35 degrees. I worked hard to write this for you. I feel that this is the most labor-saving guide. I hope sisters enjoy the botanical garden. 😉 #Recommend a good place #Weekend trip #Plants #Shenzhen
