Hongqiao Park + Dadingling Greenway, Red Ribbon Trail + Sci-Fi Three Bridges Cure All Unhappiness

Shenzhen's top hiking spots! Hongqiao Park + Dadingling Greenway, Red Ribbon Trail + Sci-Fi Three Bridges cure all unhappiness 🌿

Looking for a scenic and easy hiking route in Shenzhen? Guangming Hongqiao Park + Dadingling Greenway is a must-go! The Red Ribbon Trail winds through the forest, the three bridges have a sci-fi vibe, and walking here in this natural oxygen bar is perfect for relaxing and taking photos on weekends with family and friends. Great for kids too (better to explore separately for a more relaxed experience)～

✨ Two major highlights, each stunning in its own way

1. Hongqiao Park: 4 km red ribbon through the forest
- The core is a 4 km bright red trail, like a floating red ribbon in the woods, the aerial view is amazing! Walking on it, you smell the fresh greenery, with viewing platforms, large lawns, and glimpses of a golf course along the way, offering a very open view.
- Super thoughtful: restrooms every few hundred meters, no worries; snack stalls (grilled sausages, iced water) at the start for convenient refreshment.
2. Dadingling Greenway: Check out the “Sci-Fi Three Bridges”
At the end of Hongqiao, the greenway connects directly, with the highlights all in these three bridges, about 6.4 km total, easy to walk slowly without getting tired:
- Floating Bridge: three silver rings suspended over the forest, with transparent glass underfoot. During the day it feels like floating, at night the lights make it look like a sci-fi movie—definitely the best photo spot;
- Exploration Bridge: a must for kids! A circular boardwalk leads to a pond, with rope nets to swing on, like a big outdoor trampoline, kids can play for hours;
- Suspension Bridge: a hanging bridge spanning the valley, gently swaying as you walk, with a breathtaking view of the valley below (those afraid of heights, hold the railing tight).

📸 100% photogenic spots

- The big red arch at the Hongqiao starting point, full of ceremony;
- The viewing platform mid-Hongqiao, framing city and forest together with great depth;
- Floating Bridge, forest vibe by day, sci-fi vibe by night, looks great any way you shoot it;
- Looking back at the valley from the Suspension Bridge, the sense of openness is incredible.

📌 Practical tips to avoid detours

- 📍 Location: Guangming Hongqiao Park + Dadingling Greenway (two connected areas)
- 🅿 Parking: Hongqiao has a parking lot, spaces are tight on weekends/holidays, arrive early;
- 🚇 Subway: Line 6 “Phoenix City” Station Exit B, transfer to bus B939 to “Hongqiao Park North Square Station,” or a 10-minute taxi ride directly;
- 👨👩👧👦 Family advice: adults can cover both areas in one day; with kids, better to split visits to avoid tiring them out;
- ⚠️ Important reminders: sun and mosquito protection (hat, arm sleeves, sunscreen, insect repellent essential), wear comfortable shoes (greenway has ups and downs), bring plenty of water (few restrooms and refreshment points on the greenway); come early before 9 AM for quiet and empty shots.

No need for complicated planning, just come here to walk, breathe fresh air, take photos, rest when tired—this is the perfect weekend comfort and freedom. Try it and you’ll see how worth it it is!
