How to have fun in Shenzhen? Some people still don't know

Dears! I've just thoroughly explored Shenzhen and compiled this guide. If you're coming to Shenzhen in May, don't just go to shopping malls. This guide contains local hidden routes and teaches you how to relax and have fun 👇 🚶‍♀️ [Must-read before departure] ✅ Transportation: The subway covers a wide area! Download the "Shenzhen Tong" APP to scan the code and take the bus. The subway can directly reach the attractions in the customs. It is recommended to drive to Dapeng Peninsula (make an appointment for passage in "Shenzhen Traffic Police" in advance). ✅ Dress: Short sleeves + thin trousers (mosquito prevention!), wear a bright dress with a straw hat by the sea, and wear a retro style to visit the creative park for amazing photos. ✅ Essentials: Power bank (charging points at attractions are limited), portable small fan (hot warning), sunscreen spray (replenish spray at any time) ⚠️ Note: May-September is the typhoon season, check the weather before departure, and don't go to the mountains on rainy days. 📸 [5 must-visit places] 1. Wutong Mountain · Cloud Sea Secret Realm 📍 It is recommended to take the shuttle bus from "North Gate" to the mountainside (CNY 10), and then climb for 40 minutes to "Pengcheng First Peak" ✨ Cloud seas often appear in the early morning of May! Wear a light-colored coat and stand on the top of the mountain. The clouds and mist will spread from your feet like you are riding the clouds. Remember to bring wet wipes to wipe your sweat. 2. Shenzhen Bay Park · Citywalk Ceiling 🌉 From "Liuhua Mountain" to "Talent Park" is 4 km. Go there at 6pm! ✅ Photo spots: • Verbena flower field in Liuhua Mountain (pink and purple flower sea with cross-sea bridge) • Seaside chairs in the Sunrise Theater (the sunset shines on your face, super gentle) • Don't forget to watch the lighting of the "Bay Area Light" Ferris wheel (lights up on time at 20:00!) 3. OCT-LOFT Creative Culture Park · Paradise for Literary Youths 🎨 The cultural and creative park transformed from the old factory building, you can find surprises when you stroll around: • Cement-style spiral staircase of "•T" coffee shop (with its own cold white skin filter) • There is a market on weekend afternoons to find handmade jewelry and retro film cameras • If you are tired from shopping, go to "Xiaoyan Painting Academy" to see the exhibition, which is free and niche 4. Yangmeikeng · Real-life Comic Sea 🚗 Self-driving navigation "Yangmeikeng Parking Lot", take a speedboat for 15 minutes to Luxi Cape (CNY 30/person) 🌊 Two things to do: ① Walk the cliff plank road to see the "Mermaid Cave" (Stephen Chow movie location, the waves beat the rocks, super healing) ② Wait for "blue tears" on the beach in the evening (high probability in May-August! Turn on the night scene mode of your mobile phone to shoot fluorescent waves) 5. Dongmen Old Street · Foodie Paradise 🍜 Come out from "Shaibu Subway Station" and go straight into the alley: • "Apo Beef Offal": A small portion of CNY 30 is enough for 2 people, and the radish is more fragrant than the meat • "Jiashu Tangfen King": Still queuing at 2am! Pork offal soup powder with satay sauce, so fresh that your eyebrows fall off • "Coconut Juice King": Freshly opened coconut with coconut jelly, a cup at 35℃ high temperature will instantly cool down 🍽️ [Local hidden food] ✔️ Coconut chicken: Choose sand ginger and green lemon dipping sauce, pick up the chicken after cooking for 1 min, and the bamboo fungus is full of soup, super fresh ✔️ Casserole rice: Find an old shop that has been open for more than 10 years, the pot should be golden and crispy, and mix well before pouring soy sauce ✔️ Sugar water shop: Try "Phoenix Dancong Milk Tea" + "Dried Tangerine Peel Red Bean Paste", which is heat-clearing and refreshing 💡 [Money-saving tips] • The shuttle bus at the North Gate of Wutong Mountain only accepts cash! Remember to bring change • Yangmeikeng speedboat can be bargained! There is no problem in forming a group of 3 or more people to bargain to CNY 25/person • Buy specialties at "Laojie Wholesale Market", lychee honey and Shajing oysters are half cheaper than scenic spots ⚠️ [Precautions] • There are many people in the customs attractions but the transportation is convenient. Dapeng and Yantian outside the customs are suitable for self-driving. It is recommended to depart at 8am on weekends to avoid traffic jams. • Sea mosquitoes are super poisonous! Bring mosquito repellent containing DEET, and don't expose yourself to the sun immediately after spraying (it will cause allergies!) • The air conditioner in the shopping mall is too strong! Bring a thin coat, don't go directly from 35℃ outdoors to 20℃ indoors, it is easy to catch a cold Shenzhen is really a city full of surprises!
