Traveler reviews
GB Udhaya
★★★★★11 months agoA beautiful and peaceful waterfront park in the heart of Futian! Perfect for morning walks, evening jogs, or just relaxing with family and friends. The long coastline, well-maintained cycling and walking tracks, and fresh sea breeze make it one of the best places in Shenzhen to enjoy nature. You can see stunning views of the bay and even Hong Kong across the water on a clear day.
