Birdview of City Landscape - Shenzhen

Want fresh air and get more exercise in the city? Now you have a great choice in Shekou, Shenzhen - Nanshan Park (not Xiao Nanshan Park, though it's a beautiful place as well). It's a good place for a day/Half-day hiking tour where you can embrace the nature and enjoy the fantastic city landscape. Overview: height 321M Getting There - there are several trails to choose, if you have enough time, it's recommended to start from one end and get off from the other side. Start place: Bieshu (taxi recommended, the place is on the mountain and taking a taxi will save more time) Haiguan: Line 2 Shuiwan Station Attractions - one of the best place to enjoy Shenzhen city landscape, and it is especially recommended for a sunset view. We went there on a cloudy day so the light wan't that good, but still stunning view and I believe you will love it when you see it with your own eyes (pictures taking from Qitian Temple) If you would like to view the sunset, it is recommended to start at least 1-2 hours before sunset. Highlight spot - depending on the course: 1-2 hours trial (800m halfway): Bieshu Kou - Qitian Temple - Bieshukou 3-4 hours trial (1.7km halfway): Bieshukou - Qitian Temple - Yishou Temple - Nanshan Observation Deck Or Haiguan Kou - Jishou Ting - Nanshan Observation Deck Eac * the stairs are a bit steep, so it is suggested to leave more time than expected. Tips - there are few shop/restaurant on the mountain, so make sure to bring adequate water and food. Also make sure to take measures to prevent yourself from mosquitos in summer! #summervacation#hikingtrails
