Newly opened in Shenzhen!!! Free French-style fairy tale garden!

No visa or plane ticket needed—this free hidden gem in Shenzhen, brimming with **Provençal charm and fairy-tale colors**, awaits you with its mosaic rainbows and romantic European-style alleyways! 🌈 Must-visit spots: Yantian Haishan Park (Shenzhen's "Gaudí Garden") This is **Shenzhen's most Barcelona-like corner**—over **2,000 colorful ceramic pieces** are handcrafted into wavy benches, dazzling pillars, and whimsical arches. Under the sunlight, the entire park resembles a spilled palette or a magical relic Gaudí left behind in the East. - **Best photo spots**: The swirling mosaic patterns at the central plaza, the rainbow staircase, and the blue-and-white ceramic seaside platform—every shot looks like a **magazine cover**! - **Secret timing**: **3-5 PM on sunny days**, when the light refracts off the ceramics like stained glass. At dusk, take a stroll to the coastal boardwalk for sunset views. 💐 Extended fairy-tale route: Three free hidden gems to explore 1. **Dutch Flower Town** A "mini Provence" in Nanshan District: **red-and-white gabled houses**, vintage windmills, and fields of tulips and roses make it feel like stepping into *A Good Year*. Stop by a corner café for pour-over coffee and artisanal bread—pretend you're in Avignon. 2. **Women & Children's Building "Dopamine Kaleidoscope"** Futian's new landmark! The exterior features **bold geometric blocks in yellow, orange, pink, and green**, while inside hides a children's discovery center (reservation required) and candy-colored themed restaurants. The **Dream Forest Family Rooms** on the top floor are perfect for families, complete with mini toilet seats. 3. **Wengu Manor (Yinhu Mountain Country Park)** A **sun-yellow windmill** and **mint-green cottage** reflected in the lake look like scenes ripped from a fairy-tale book. Quiet and uncrowded, ideal for picnics and daydreaming. 📸 Pro photography guide - **Outfit tips**: Solid-color maxi dresses (bright yellow or red) or Breton stripes—avoid busy patterns. - **Prop hacks**: Woven baskets, vintage newspapers, tulip bouquets (available at Dutch Flower Town). - **Hidden angles**: ✅ The **ceramic-peacock wall** at Haishan Park's entrance—shoot upward to avoid crowds. ✅ The **rose arch behind the windmill** in Dutch Flower Town—backlit silhouettes at sunset are magical. 🚶 One-day itinerary A[10 AM: Yantian Haishan Park] --> B[Noon: Seafood Street lunch] B --> C[2 PM: Dutch Flower Town + afternoon tea] C --> D[Evening: Women & Children's Building rainbow facade] > 💡 **Tip**: Don’t miss "Yantian Seafood Street" near Haishan Park!
