🌿Xianhu Twin Lakes: A Guide to the Mirror-Like Secrets Hidden Beneath Wutong Mountain

The lakes of Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden are a "green treasure." The core of the lake, Xianhu Lake, and the tranquil Alsophila Lake each have their own unique charm. ✨ Xianhu Lake is surrounded by mountains, and the tree planted by Deng Xiaoping on the central island is a must-see landmark. You can rent an electric boat for a 30-minute tour (60 yuan), where black swans occasionally glide across the surface.

Alternaria Lake is even more vibrant. The ancient Alsophila trees on the north bank seem to have traveled back to the age of dinosaurs. In autumn and winter, the bald cypress trees turn a vibrant red, reflecting off the lake surface. The bends offer excellent photo spots. In spring, the lakeside features themed flower exhibitions, where the flower boats complement the sea of ​​flowers.

Admission is 15 yuan. It's recommended to arrive at 8 a.m. or 4 p.m. for soft, crisp light and easy-to-read photos. You can buy a 10-yuan round-the-park bus ticket to travel between the two lakes. When you are tired, you can take a rest in the cafe next to Xianhu Lake, or go to Hongfa Temple to enjoy a vegetarian meal and feel the tranquility in the bustling city.
