Alex Salmeron
★★★★★5 months agoA beautiful botanical park I found quite by accident near my hotel. Amazing range of trees and plants well labelled for the botanists among you! Very tranquil and with outdoor mini exhibitions. Lots of surprises around every turn. Delightful!
Joe Macpherson
★★★★★2 years agoLarge free park which is a jewel of Shenzhen. It showcases various themes gardens from different parts of the country, such as, Shanghai garden, Suzhou garden and so on. It has beautiful flowers, cool architecture, quirky statues and more. It's a great place to get some fresh air and exercise. You should set aside 3 hours to explore. The climb to the pagoda requires moderate fitness. Zhuzilin metro station
