The Bougainvillea waterfall in Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden is located in the parking area, where a five-story high flower wall pours down like nature's palette, blooming with tender romance. Unlike the common bright pink, the Bougainvilleas here are predominantly light pink, resembling a cherry blossom tunnel in spring, yet with an added touch of tropical passion and resilience. From October to April of the following year is the peak blooming season for Bougainvilleas, when they bloom vengefully, turning the parking lot into the most incredible dreamy garden. 🏞️ Must-visit attractions: - Best time to take photos: The soft light before sunset allows you to capture the gentlest pink of the Bougainvilleas. Remember to plan your trip in advance to avoid missing the best light and shadow. - Try different angles and compositions, such as shooting from below the flower waterfall or using reflections to add depth to your photos. - Why not slow down and wander through the flowers, feeling the surprise and tranquility of an unexpected encounter. 🚗 Detailed address: Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden parking lot, accessible from Exit C3 of Line 8, no entrance ticket required for close-up viewing. 🛣️ Transportation tips: - Subway: Take the subway to Line 8, get off at Exit C3, and walk to reach the destination. - Bus: Several bus routes go directly to the vicinity of Xianhu Botanical Garden. After getting off, follow the signs and walk for a few minutes to arrive. 🍲 Food recommendations: - On the way to Xianhu Botanical Garden, try the IMA Cap Western restaurant at the exit of Longhua subway station to add a refined taste to your journey. - On the way back, don't miss the seafood stalls in Shenzhen. Fresh seafood paired with chilled beer is the perfect end to a day's journey. 🏞️ Nearby attractions recommendations: - Wutong Mountain Scenic Area: Not far from the Bougainvillea waterfall is Shenzhen's highest peak, Wutong Mountain. Climb to the top for a different view of the city. - East Overseas Chinese Town: Experience the perfect combination of eco-tourism and cultural entertainment. Whether it's the tranquility of Tea Stream Valley or the excitement of Knight Valley, both are exceptional choices for a visit.

#shenzhentrip As I'll always be wary of offbeat hiking trail 🏞️in foreign land just because of the unknowns of the terrain, while this time I decided to embark on one such unknown journey 🚶🏾‍♂️ Well I'd say it really did paid off, with my girl around, we got to see the whole bay area 🗾⚓ from a really nice viewing spot, at the top of the Wutong expedition. If you had followed my previous post about this mount, then you may know that this trail is quite a rocky 🪨 terrain but after you've reached the top there'll be neatly laid out steps; where I saw people go and wait until sunset 🌇 to see the city start glittering ✨ as the night 🌃 sets in. But since we were quite tired to do that, we decided to hike down the hill; which was quite rewarding too, as we got to see some jungle creatures along the way !! #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #ukcreator

#shenzhentrip The best thing about visiting natural/famous places in China is that, all the places are well facilitated with basic needs 💧🥟🚻⛑️ so that even people who aren't in great fitness (like me😋) also can enjoy these experiences. On such occasion, as we were hiking 🥾 all the way up in the Wutong mountain ⛰️ on rough terrains we encountered the massive tomb shaped tower 🗼 (which is very likely a phone signal tower) and other refreshing facilities. They also have laid out a neat viewing platform to get to see the deep valley, from this hiking culmination point. Also I'd suggest to go in here during the spring season, around March, to get to see the blossoming 🌸 flowers all around the mountain. #tripblazers#urbanexplorer

#shenzhentrip Shenzhen is quite a mountainous region, which qualify it to be one of my favorites in China. Oftentimes in a few metres onto the main road 🛣️ you'll get to see the distant 🏔️ mountains with full green 💚 patches. So this time I decided to chase one of those mountains and hike to get the view of man-made skyscrapers 🏙️ from the natural skyscrapers ⛰️😜 Since I stayed in Luohu district in Shenzhen it's super convenient to just take a 20-min ride to reach Wutong mountain. You may start your hike in a neatly laid out cement road, but to get the amazing view you have to take a detour to a 🪨 rocky path, after some 2 kms. What's the fun in hiking in a cement road right ? 😉 #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #hiking

Wutong mountain is a very large area, This is the highest peak in Shenzhen. There are two options big and small Wutong both of them are fine. Also if you want to find the best scenery to look at the whole of Shenzhen city this mountain gives exactly that. Beautiful nature and a great challenge to climb to the top because there are so many stairs that you need to pass. it takes time to climb over there for 2-3 hours with many short breaks because you need to save energy when you go down. The best time to check it when is cooler is during autumn/winter time because when is spring/summer can be so humid weather. This mountain is worth a visit, when you climb up you will see spectacular city views and relax in the fresh oxygen-rich mountain air. #shenzhen #wutongmountain #staycation #gooutside #hiking #travelinspiration #nationalpark #exploring

Wutong mountain is the highest peak in the city, and as such is one of the most popular hiking destinations in Shenzhen. This mountain looms over much of the city and has challenged the casual and serious hiker alike. Wutong is has 2 main peaks, small Wutong and big Wutong, and they can be hiked separately or together. For the purposes of this article I will give the guide of hiking them both, and also focus on the ‘most common’ route. There are lots and lots of stairs on this hike, and since it goes up to 970M high, you will definatley be feeling your legs the next day. However a ‘wild’ route is also available which has less stairs and is more challenging. I would suggest the wild route for those who are more confident in their hiking ability, for the beginner or those with less experience the main stair route is probably the better choice. From bottom to the top of small Wutong will take around 90 mins, it is more or less a straight line, with multiple rest stops along the way. The views get progressively better as you go up, and when you get to the top you will be greeted by the iconic TV Tower. This is a jaw dropping landmark that simply must be seen up close at least once during your time in SZ. After you reach the top of Small Wutong, you can either go back down, or follow signs for ‘Big Wutong’. This is approximately another 90 mins or so from the top of small as it is longer not just higher. Along this route there are some pagodas which are a good place to rest and enjoy the view, and some ‘squares’ which have toilets and convenience stores. The peak of Big Wutong is marked by a marker stone, letting you know that you have conquered the summit. If you take the nature trail up it will take around 2 hours, it is a good trail with gradual incline. Stay on the paved road from the main small wutong entrance from the metro station. Walk for around 40 mins until you see this entrance. Follow it up to the peak of small wutong. #gooutside #passionpassport #urbanexplorer #solotravel #summervacation #shenzhen #china

Wutong Mountain, located in the east of Shenzhen, is the highest mountain in Shenzhen. Facing Dapeng Bay, standing on the top of the mountain, you can overlook the entire city scenery of Shenzhen, which is breathtaking. The scenic area has pleasant scenery, beautiful scenery and fresh air. It is a good place for tourists and Shenzhen citizens. Wutong Mountain is divided into Big Wutong and Small Wutong. From Small Wutong, you can see the Shenzhen TV Tower, while from Big Wutong, you can go directly to Xianhu Botanical Garden! #外游

So i went hiking yesterday at the Wutongshan National park (Sycamore hills). It is situated in the central south part of Shenzhen. Wutongshan (or Wutong mountain) is a rare natural scenic spot in China, which is located in urban area, and with a coastal spread of mountains and natural vegetations as its main scenery. Little bogota pavillion can be found tucked in on the foggy crossroads between Small Wutong and Great Wutong. Its on the right side of the road if you opted to go to Small Wutong. Challenging hike but worth it. Especially when you get to the Little Bogota. Climb up those ladders up and when you get to the top, try to meditate. That way you will find peace and solitude. Free entrance. And again, its foggy and mists all over it. Still try to take photos. ❤️ #travellater #wutongshan #wheninshenzhen #solofemaletraveller #hikingtrails #hiking

If ever visiting Shenzhen, be sure to take the short trip outside the city and hike Wutong Mountain 🏔🍃 As one of the best places to see incredible views of the city, this hike will take between three and four hours and is well worth the effort🌲 Follow the crowds up the steep stairs, and be sure to bring lots of water and food for energy🌾 Once arriving at the top, you will see incredible views of both Shenzhen and Hong Kong, both of which appear hidden among a sea of mountains🌄 This hike is suitable for beginner to medium ability, but take your time and enjoy the beautiful city views as you go!🌳🌱🌿#explore #urbanexplorer #hikingtrails #china #hike #travelinspiration #travel #seechina #photography

Wutong mountain is a beautiful scenic spot for shenzhenians. Hiking up in the normal path is too difficult. but if you love hiKing, you should try that path. you can even drive up,if you are in car.

Shenzhen, Shenzhen, the best night landscape to see the small Wutong Luohu is the earliest developed place in Shenzhen, Futian, in recent years, Nanshan became the boss. If you want to find a place in Shenzhen to see these three places at the same time, this place must be Wutong Mountain. The more than 900 meters high altitude of the Great Indus, more than three hours of mountain roads make people look down on the mountain, so Xiao Wutong is our best choice! route creeping small paulownia recommended to climb from 2 places: one is to take the road from the north gate of Wutong Mountain, about 2 hours to reach the small phoenix roof, all is a gentle cement road; the second is from the mountain road of Liantang The steps of the road can reach the top in more than an hour, but it is very steep. The best view point 1. The small pavilion under the Wutong Mountain TV Tower can look at the light and shadow changes from the sunset to the lights in the city. 2. The pavilion walks 200 meters to the right and has a small soil slope. When there is good weather, there will be a lot of photographers shooting here. Tips: 1. It is recommended to go hiking down the mountain with a flashlight, anti-mosquito and other light outdoor equipment 2. There are small shops and vending machines on the mountain, the price is not expensive, it is recommended to light Going forward 3. Choose sunny mountain climbing, rainy road slippery is prone to accidents

In the early morning, with a sense of anticipation, I step into Wutong Mountain National Forest Park. The air is filled with the fresh scent of earth and the sweetness of morning dew. On both sides of the winding mountain path, layers of lush green forests stack up, with sunlight piercing through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled shadows. As I reach halfway up the mountain, a mist slowly rises, sketching the distant peaks into poetic silhouettes. The sound of a babbling stream reaches my ears, and following the sound, I find a clear stream flowing quietly among the stones, with green moss adding a touch of serene beauty. Upon reaching the summit, the view suddenly opens up. From the mountain top, the outline of Shenzhen city and the sea reflect each other, resembling a magnificent painting. The mountain breeze blows, dispelling the fatigue of the climb, leaving only joy and freedom in my heart. Wutong Mountain is not only a natural sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle but also a journey of dialogue with nature. Every step is a poetic fusion of the soul and nature, making one linger and forget to return.

🌸 I forgot that the bellflower is actually very small. I was looking forward to seeing bellflowers all over the mountains, but the reality was as shown in the second picture🤣 (but it is still beautiful when you look at it up close) 🚇 My route: Exit from Exit C of Haishan Subway Station, turn left after crossing the traffic light opposite, and you will see Guangfu Department Store (which has McDonald's, Nayuki, Shunde Lao, Cafe de Coral, etc.), and a little ahead is the Yantian District Government East Bus Stop. Take the Shanhai Express (6 yuan for adults, 3 yuan for children and the elderly; be careful not to get on the wrong bus, the Shanhai Express is marked as a tourist bus 🚌, there is no number, it runs every 30 minutes, and the journey takes about 10 minutes). The ticket validity period is shown as only 20 minutes, but it doesn’t matter if it exceeds the time limit, just wait for the bus~ 🌲 After getting off the bus at Forest Living Room, there is a large lawn with many "lonely" trees. I really love trees! (Tree spirit for sure!) After taking some photos, you can walk to the lake, where there are some geese "walking". There is also a small sea of ​​​​Ge Sang flowers next to it, which is also very beautiful (watch out for bees 🐝) 🌸 Go to the sea of ​​bells to see the bell flowers. Who would wear a skirt and casual shoes to climb halfway up the mountain to see the flowers? 😭 There are only two kilometers to the top of the mountain... It was quite far to see the bell flowers in Wutong Mountain before, how come I can see them in the park now? So I am a pig 🐷 Note: Both the sea of ​​bells and the row of bell flowers are about bell flowers, you can choose either one. I chose the sea of ​​bells flowers. It took about 40-50 minutes to walk up the mountain, and about 20 minutes to jog down the mountain. The main road is easier to walk on! 💧 After going down the mountain, we went to Enshang Reservoir. It was so quiet and comfortable. I loved it❤️ 🚶‍♀️ Return trip: I don’t like the feeling of waiting for nothing. On the way there, I wanted to get on the bus but there was no seat left. I waited at the bus stop for 30 minutes. Unfortunately, I bought the ticket too quickly, so I had to wait there. You should be able to get there by walking, and the scenery along the way is pretty good! Back to the topic, walk down the mountain from the forest living room, and after walking out of the forest entrance, walk straight towards Enshang intersection. It took me about 40 minutes (partly jogging) to reach Haishan subway station. 📝 Summary: If you come here to see the hanging bell flowers, you may be disappointed, but if you want to hike, it's worth it! The park is very big, and you can also go to Wutong Mountain, which is very suitable for running. I saw many big guys running~ It’s a pity that I slept late today (and my clothes were not suitable)... Waking up late ruined everything... I still regret not going to Anaconda Peak 😭 (Is it wrong to just want to see Anaconda Peak with blue sky and white clouds? Woohoo X﹏X) #BeautifulParksInTheCity #MeasureTheWorldOnHike #Bellflower

#Valentine's Day 2025 I originally wanted to go to Wutong Mountain, but I didn't expect to pass by the Zhongqingxi Ecological Park in Yantian, so I went in for a walk. This small ecological park is truly an urban oasis, built according to the terrain and with streams formed by natural filtration pools. The trails in the park are gentle and comfortable, and horticulture and natural gardens are naturally integrated. The quiet corner is indeed a good place for couples. Transportation: Subway Line 2/8 → Exit A of Shenzhen Foreign Language School → Turn left #citypark #cityoasis #shenzhenattractions🤩

There are two routes to the top of Wutong Mountain from the North Gate: 1. Take the mountain road to the mountain top platform, then take the Hero Slope to the top. The mountain road is about 7–8 km long (this is an approximate value based on my recorded mileage from several hikes, as I couldn't find any official data). The mountain road is relatively easy and is a good place to see flowers in spring. The Hero Slope is 1,100 m long and, as the name suggests, is a difficult climb. 2. Take the Taishan Stream Trail, which is 4,511 m long and leads directly to the top of Wutong Mountain. There are two forks in the road where you can switch to the mountain road, namely the Wind Chime Trail and the Gourd Trail, and another fork that leads to the mountain top platform. * The archway at the North Gate is the Wutong Mountain Archway. If I'm not specifically going to see flowers, I usually take the Taishan Stream Trail. Less than 100 m after entering the archway, you'll see a sign for the "Taishan Stream Trail Entrance" on the right. There is also a map of the entire Wutong Mountain Scenic Area nearby. I'm not sure if the map is unclear, but people often ask for directions here, such as "Where can I see the yellow tabebuia trees?" and "Where does this path lead?" The most confusing question is when people ask "How far is it to Hongfa Temple from here?" Uh... I actually tried starting from here, crossing over Wutong Mountain and Little Wutong Mountain, and then going down to Hongfa Temple on the mountainside of Little Wutong Mountain. It took me five hours, and even if I hadn't gone to the top of Wutong Mountain, it probably wouldn't have been much faster. Okay, back to the Taishan Stream Trail. After entering the entrance, you'll walk up a relatively gentle slope and then join the mountain road. Cross the road and you'll see an older "Taishan Stream" stone tablet. This is the real entrance to the Taishan Stream Trail. The 4,511 m trail starts here. Do you feel like the previous path was a waste of time? After entering the Taishan Stream Trail, you'll walk down a long, long flight of stairs, which makes the previous climb feel like a waste of effort.

Is Xianhu Botanical Garden free? Based on the tradition of free parks in Shenzhen, many people may ask this question. I searched online and found various answers, haha~ 1. If you climb over from Xiaowutong like us, it is free. 2. If you enter from the main entrance, it opens at 4 am, and it is free before 8 am. It closes at 9:30 pm, and it is free after 6 pm. Tickets are required from 8 am to 6 pm, full price is CNY 15, half price is CNY 5. 3. Exceptions: Special holiday opening hours on New Year's Eve, the first day of the first lunar month, Lantern Festival, and Buddha's birthday are subject to the notice of the management office. For example, during this year's Spring Festival, a reservation system was implemented to limit the number of visitors. Not to mention these special holidays, even on the first and fifteenth day of each month, the road to the botanical garden is congested for several kilometers. So everyone, Route 2: Lingyun Road - Xiaowutong - Camellia Path - Ten Miles of Azaleas Choose a date before you go. Climbing from Lingyun Road offers a wider view. As usual, let's climb high and look far. Lingyun Road overlooks Luohu, Lingyun Road overlooks Liantang area, Camellia Path along the mountain side, you can see Yantian and the east coast of Shenzhen

Although I promised my mom that I would worship Buddha whenever I saw a temple, I didn't have any cash on me at the time, so I decided to take a detour to avoid being disrespectful. Promoting Buddhism is not a bad thing, but you should recite the sutra in your heart, "All conditioned phenomena are like a dream, an illusion, a bubble, a shadow, like dew or a flash of lightning; thus we shall perceive them." Walking along the forest path is also very pleasant, and it's nice to sit down and have a piece of bread. The exit of the trail is the "Heaven on Earth" of Fairy Lake Botanical Garden. It's a large lawn surrounded by a lake, and many families come here to take their kids on weekends and holidays. On the left is the Shade Garden, and further ahead is the Magnolia Garden. The orchids in the Magnolia Garden are always the most attractive. Among the following, a poor guy spent ten minutes trying to take a photo of his girlfriend that she was satisfied with. I think this picture of blooming flowers looks better without people.
