Strolling in Qiaoxiang road... 🚶♀️🚶♀️🚶♀
Located at Xiangmi Hubei area, Qiaoxiang road, Futian district in Shenzhen. 1979 Cultural and Creative Park is probably a high end venue to chill, have coffee, grab a snack or dine in for lunch or dinner. i'd say high end because the prices are quite high than the basic. there's quite a number of restaurants (mostly local cuisine) , coffee shops, hotpot, a dessert corner, there is actually a mall inside the park, and the parking is convenient. also, i saw some sports cars roaming around the park. not much of activity going on in there but the facade is still good for photography.
