😍 Guys, I recently discovered a super fun place—Shenzhen Fairy Lake Botanical Garden, especially the stunning bald cypress forest, which is simply a visual feast! 🤩 Stepping into Fairy Lake Botanical Garden is like walking into a natural oxygen bar, with an unbelievably beautiful environment. Following the recommended route, take the bus from the entrance to the Bonsai Garden, and after walking a few hundred meters, you will see the large bald cypress trees. They are neatly arranged by the lake, like colorful soldiers waiting for inspection. 😎 The unique feature of bald cypress trees is their ever-changing colors throughout the seasons. In spring, they are fresh green, as if expressing the joy of new life; in autumn, they gradually turn yellow, with a hint of maturity; and in winter, their bright red is like burning flames, hot and eye-catching, finally turning reddish-brown, adding a touch of stability and warmth. 🧡 When it comes to viewing, don't miss 3–5 pm in the afternoon, when the soft sunlight shines down, illuminating every leaf of the bald cypress trees, making them bright red and beautiful. The angle of the photo is also important. A low-angle upward shot makes the bald cypress trees towering into the sky, creating a clean and atmospheric picture with the blue sky; standing by the lake and taking a downward shot of the reflection in the water, the symmetrical beauty makes people marvel at the wonders of nature. Use a telephoto lens and polarizing filter to make the picture more textured, blur out the irrelevant background, and make the bald cypress trees the absolute protagonist. When shooting against the light, add some light, and the person will immediately become ethereal, as if walking out of a painting. Playing here is really fun and comfortable, with beautiful scenery everywhere, and any random shot can be used as wallpaper. I highly recommend everyone to come to Fairy Lake Botanical Garden to experience the charm of bald cypress trees, and I believe you will fall in love with this place just like me! 💕

For me, The Lakeshore is the best part of the entire Fairylake Botanical Garden. ❤️ The Fairylake, also known as Lake Xian (Xianhu) is a man~made lake with small rustic bridges, pagodas, and halls all over the area. Addition to its serene beauty is that quaint coffee shop tucked in the trees on the lakeshore. Its called Asakusa coffee. Looks like a hide out for elves, dwarfs and fairies. ❤️ Imagine them sipping coffee in the morning. Whimsical ✨✨✨ It is the focal point of the garden. Founded in 1983, FairyLake Botanical Garden first opened to public in 1988.

Fairy Lake or Xianhu gardens is a large botanical park located in Yantian district of Shenzhen, to get there you should take the subway to Xianhu road and walk for about 5 minutes to get to the entrance. Alternatively you could take a 20 min shuttle bus or taxi from Luohu. It costs 10RMB per person for entry which is really cheap for what you get access to. The park is primarily a large road and walking trail filled with different species of plants, most of the trees and flowers have labels telling you their scientific names which is really cool. If you dont want to walk all the way around the park (probably takes 1.5 hours) you can take a bus to the interesting points. I would suggest the bus if you travel here during hot summer months as it can get particularly humid and sweaty here. There are several points of interest around the park, the first of which is the main central lake, with a small rocky beach area and a few small rivers, they sometimes have boats on the lake. Nearby are some trees planted by famous Chinese leaders. There are several small gardens like aquatic plants, bonsai garden (currently closed), fossil forest, pagoda, temple and cactus garden. The cacti are particularly impressive and i highly recommend visiting. There is also a geological museum, and you can pay extra to enter the temple area which is inhabited by monks. #naturalwonders #culturalattractions #nationalpark #lakes #staycation #flowerlover
