Complete Guide to Photographing the Dragon Tower at Longhua Park

I've always thought Shenzhen is a great place to relax and unwind🌟 This time, near Atour Hotel in Guanlan, I discovered a hidden gem for photo ops—Longhua Park. The red walls and green trees paired with the iconic Longfeng Tower make every shot look like a classic Chinese masterpiece～

🏨 Accommodation Recommendation
Highly recommend staying at Shenzhen Guanlan Atour Hotel! It's right next to the subway station, just a few minutes' walk away. The rooms are as clean as newly renovated, the bedding is super comfortable, and the most touching part is the front desk staff who kindly offer hot tea when they see us dragging our luggage. The hotel also has a self-service laundry room and a gym, and the breakfast selection is very rich, with even the takeaway boxes prepared exquisitely. (Exact address: 182 Guanlan Avenue)

🌳 Longhua Park Travel Guide
The park is open all day for free. It's best to visit after 4 PM to avoid the strong sun～ The must-visit spot is, of course, Longfeng Tower. It looks great from every angle: up close, you can capture the delicate flying eaves and upturned corners; from afar, you can shoot the entire tower framed by the trees. The most stunning view is the tower lit up at night, with warm yellow lights making the whole tower look especially magnificent. Remember to bring your camera for night shots!

✨ Useful Tips
1️⃣ There are many stone paths in the park, so it's recommended to wear comfortable, non-slip shoes.
2️⃣ Nearby "Longhua Old Street" offers many authentic snacks; the rice rolls and coconut chicken are amazing.
3️⃣ Atour Hotel offers robot delivery service for takeout, a delight for late-night snack lovers.
