A hidden Yunnan rainforest restaurant in Shenzhen

Looking to escape the crowds in Shenzhen while still immersing yourself in authentic Yunnan cuisine? Don't miss this "Rainforest Retreat Restaurant" near the Shenzhen Bay Port! It's conveniently located, just a short subway ride or a 10-minute taxi ride away.

Stepping inside feels like entering a natural oxygen bar. The lobby seating area is surrounded by greenery, with the aroma of natural plants filling the air. The 8-person private rooms offer both ambiance and privacy, perfect for small gatherings with friends or family meals. Even better, the owner is a Yunnan native with over ten years of experience in the restaurant industry, and most of the chefs and servers are also from Yunnan, ensuring authenticity in both the team and the food. This restaurant has quite a pedigree—it's the same popular Kunming branch that even Dong Yuhui visited, and now it's finally opened in Shenzhen.

The freshness and taste of the dishes are both top-notch, with many dishes prepared and grilled on-site. The signature Paoluda is a must-try; the sweet mango paired with coconut is simply irresistible. The upgraded Paoluda ice cream is cool, smooth, and refreshing. Rose vinegar, with its sweet and sour flavor, is a refreshing and appetizing treat, a hallmark of Yunnan cuisine.

The hot dishes are even more impressive: Dai-style pineapple rice is rich in fruity aroma, the rice coated in the sweet fragrance of pineapple – best enjoyed hot; the braised chicken with Sichuan peppercorns and the sour soup sea bass with Sichuan peppercorns are authentically fresh, boasting a unique Sichuan peppercorn fragrance; the sea bass is tender, and the chicken is smooth and juicy; the stir-fried water hyacinth is crisp and refreshing, showcasing the original flavor of Yunnan wild vegetables; the Dai-style lemongrass grilled sea bass is grilled to order, with a crispy skin and tender flesh; the Yunnan border wild seasoning raw beef is fresh and flavorful, every bite a taste of Yunnan.

Don't miss this delightful surprise of enjoying authentic Yunnan cuisine, a favorite of Dong Yuhui, in a "rainforest" in Shenzhen!
