[2025 Shenzhen Attraction] Travel Guide for Meilin Reservoir (Updated May)

This small reservoir is located in Longhua district of Shenzhen close to Zhucun subway station. There is a smooth path around the whole reservoir perfect for riding bikes around. The reservoir is one of the greenest places I have seen in Shenzhen and during the rain the smell from the plants and flowers was Incredibly refreshing. The top of the reservoir dam was closed but I saw many fishing birds perched along the top. The reservoir is one of several in Longhua district that provide drinking water so it's a very important part of the city and one that can double as a place of nature and relaxation. #passionpassport

The Shenzhen Water Education Exhibition Hall, located next to the Shenzhen Meilin Reservoir (near the Meilin subway station), has been rated as a "National Water Education Base". It turns out that Shenzhen's per capita water resources are only one-tenth of the national total, and water resources are extremely scarce. Therefore, the entire exhibition hall is themed on protecting water resources, and educates and promotes from various angles such as water intake, water supply, water use, drainage, water resources planning, and sponge city design, in an effort to awaken public awareness of water conservation.

There is no shortage of green-ways in Shenzhen, from walks to biking and more. Meilin has long been a popular hiking destination due to its low altitude and easy level, and the fact it connects to Tanglang is a big bonus. Meilin also has a great reservoir that is great for a pleasant walk. It is very picturesque and is full of casual local walkers, and on weekends lots of families too. The path is long but very easy and well paved with very little incline. It leads all the way to Xili from Futian. You can do the whole thing or just do a loop on yourself the choice is yours. There is also the option to connect up to Tanglang mountain Highly recommended. Start at Xiameilin MTR exit D and walk straight ahead to the reservoir #staycation #shenzhen #china #walking #nationalpark ##

Rainy days, less blue sky and white clouds, more quiet and comfortable atmosphere. Walking alone in the park, encountering bamboo forests, encountering lychee forests, encountering small ponds in the garden, stepping on the shady path next to the small pond, as if the mood is gradually integrated into it, I like this feeling~ - 🟢Meilin Park 1️⃣Enter the park from the west entrance, and there is a large old lychee forest on the left. There is a large lawn in the forest, which is very clean. It's beautiful to take pictures here! 2️⃣The second best place in the park, I think it is the bamboo forest near the San Sheng Palace in the park. The dense bamboo forest on both sides of the main park road, there were few people when I came, it was too quiet here, and there was a lawn. Take pictures here, full of greenery. 3️⃣It takes about 30 minutes to stroll around the park, and the time for taking pictures is not included! - 🟢Meilin Reservoir There are two options to go to the reservoir after visiting the park 1️⃣You can come out from the west entrance and walk a few minutes to Meilin Reservoir. The disadvantage is that you need to go back. 2️⃣You can go all the way to the San Sheng Palace in the park. There is a toilet nearby. There is a mountain trail next to the toilet. Go up for a few minutes and then go down to the right to the greenway. Walk a few minutes from the greenway to the reservoir dam. (Reference map has been placed in the comment area) 3️⃣I think the reservoir dam can be filmed whether it is sunny or cloudy. You can take pictures of Japanese anime style, etc. on sunny days, and you can take pictures of emotional style on cloudy days. -

🌈Attractions: Tanglang Mountain mixed with Meilin Reservoir, known as novice-friendly. I think only the Tanglang Mountain part is novice-friendly. You can choose the 100-foot ladder or the winding mountain road (equivalent to the mountain road or greenway). By the way, it is easier to see monkeys and squirrels on the winding mountain road~ The chances of encountering it are higher in the afternoon. I see it every time I drive on the road. The top of the mountain is Jimu Pavilion. There are not many people there except on weekends, but the temporary vehicles that are used to supplement the crowds are not open for business. The difficult part is the section around Meilin Reservoir, which goes up and down with signs all the way. After reaching the graffiti wall, you have to walk down the greenway towards Meilin before you can reach the reservoir. But the reservoir in the evening is incredibly beautiful! I will post a picture next (I can’t put the picture in) 🕐️Scenic area opening hours: Don’t be afraid of night climbing = open all day 🏝️Route recommendation: Follow the road signs! 💗Other tips: On non-weekends, the Meilin Reservoir section is sparsely populated. If you are a girl, don’t go too late. Don’t be afraid of bad people or small animals.

#Guangzhou Attractions Come to Meilin Reservoir for a tour. Looking at the clear green reservoir, countless windmills are soaring. Looking from afar, the windmills are running in an orderly manner, as if accompanying the symphony of nature. Climb up to the small pavilion under the windmill and overlook the picturesque scenery. The breeze blows, bringing warmth and creating a freehand landscape. Watching the windmill running in an orderly manner, my mood also becomes lighter. Next time I will definitely visit again with my family to relive the impression of this wonderful scenery.

Shenzhen, a city with a very high population density, will be found everywhere as long as we are in the green of the city center. From Lianhuashan Park to Bijiashan Park...
