What?! Just finished exploring the suspension bridge, exploration bridge, and floating bridge on the Dadiling Greenway, and before my legs even got sore, my friend dragged me to Hongqiao Park — these two spots in Guangming District, Shenzhen are the ultimate "hiking couple"! The oxygen level is perfect, not to mention the 📸 photo opportunities are 200%! Easily complete the Hongqiao check-in in 3 hours, completely free with no entrance fee🙌 Hurry and save this walking guide~
📍Address: Guangming Avenue, Guangming Subdistrict, Guangming District, Shenzhen | 🚇 Line 6, Phoenix City Station Exit A, 10-minute walk
🕒 Opening Hours: 06:30-18:30 | 💰 Admission: Free
🔥 Highly recommended: The 4.3 km red steel giant dragon is the soul of the place! As soon as you exit Phoenix City Metro Station, you can see the brick-red boardwalk from afar, perfectly weaving through the lush green trees👏 This spot is even more stroller-friendly than Dadiling: pushing a stroller is effortless, canvas shoes won’t rub your feet, and the entire route is barrier-free! Perfect for aunties with kids, couples on dates, and friends taking photos~
📸 Three main check-in areas with detailed routes:
【Entrance Area】A must-shoot!!
👉 The steps at the visitor center are amazing! Sitting there frames the red boardwalk + forest like a natural picture frame
⚠️ Tip: Shoot around 3 PM when the sunlight slants for flawless, glowing skin!
Two options:
1️⃣ Fast track: Take the stairs directly
2️⃣ For photo lovers: Take the spiral walkway! The panoramic shot inside the red circle will blow up your social feed!
【Bihu Area】My favorite!!
💦 Surrounded 360° by Biyan Reservoir, the breeze carries the fresh scent of grass and trees~
✔️ Must-check-in spots:
- Top floor of the panoramic tower for an overhead view of the red boardwalk winding like a ribbon!
- Small platform under the tower’s tip, easily capture the tower peak + water surface + portrait in one shot!
【Forest Area】Wild photo hotspot!!
🌲 Don’t miss the "dirt path" option at the end of the boardwalk! Soft soil + sunlight filtering through tree gaps is stunning!
🐿️ Star-chasing tip: High chance of spotting squirrels in the morning!
🍃 Outfit suggestion: Light colors look amazing here for photos~
⏰ 3-hour itinerary suggestion:
• 15 minutes for crazy shooting at the entrance area
• 40 minutes strolling the boardwalk to Bihu Area
• 10 minutes check-in and rest at Bihu Area
• 30 minutes wild photoshoot in Forest Area
• The rest is free to explore~ Buy water at the Monkey Post and snap some stunning extended perspective shots!
🚗 Transportation TIPS:
• Subway users: Line 6, Phoenix City Station Exit A, navigate to "Hongqiao Park North Square"
• Drivers: The south parking lot fills up after 10 AM! Recommended to arrive by 9 AM
• Best time: 2:00-4:00 PM for unbeatable lighting—no harsh sun or backlight
📸 Exclusive photo spots shared:
1️⃣ Back view killer: Have your friend stand 10 meters behind you on the red boardwalk to capture forest + sky + boardwalk in one shot
2️⃣ Dirt path close-up: Look down while walking or reach for leaves to maximize atmosphere!
