After 4 days in Shenzhen, my consumption concept collapsed. Travel with music
My dears, Shenzhen is warm and pleasant in February, with an average temperature of 15℃ - 22℃, which is a perfect choice for winter travel! This city, which was made popular by the song “Shenzhen Love Song”, “I am on the streets of Shenzhen, looking for the exit of my dream”🎶, sings out the yearning of countless people for it. Follow my guide and start your wonderful trip to Pengcheng! 🎈
Tour route
• Day 1: After arriving in Shenzhen, go to Lianhuashan Park first. Climbing to the top of the mountain, you will see the bronze statue of Deng Xiaoping standing before you, and overlooking the entire Shenzhen city, with tall buildings standing in rows, displaying an atmosphere of booming development. Take a stroll in the park, breathe the fresh air, and feel the harmonious blend of nature and the city. In the evening, when the lights come on, the city's night view is breathtaking. Then we went to Futian Galaxy COCO Park, where there are a lot of delicious food, cuisine from all over the world and special snacks for you to choose from. A delicious meal will instantly fill your sense of happiness 🍜.
• Day 2: Go to Window of the World in the morning. Here you can see miniature landscapes of famous buildings from all over the world, including the Eiffel Tower, Arc de Triomphe, Sydney Opera House... You can "travel around the world" in one day. There are also wonderful performances in the park, allowing you to immerse yourself in a multicultural atmosphere. In the afternoon, we went to Shenzhen Happy Valley to enjoy the exciting roller coaster and romantic carousel and have a happy time.
• Day 3: Head to Dapeng Fortress. This ancient city from the Ming and Qing dynasties is quaint, with stone roads and ancient houses, and traces of history everywhere. Take a stroll in the city and feel the passage of time. Afterwards, we went to Jiaochangwei Beach, strolled on the beach, felt the sea breeze, and watched the waves hitting the beach. It was extremely comfortable. Stay in a beachfront homestay at night and fall asleep listening to the sound of the waves.
• Day 4: Go to Fairy Lake Botanical Garden. There are many kinds of plants here, like a green ocean. Stroll along the mountain trails, admire various rare plants, and feel the wonder of nature. Hongfa Temple is solemn and dignified. You can go there to pray and make good wishes for the new year🙏.
