What if a little hiking 🥾 path, not so stressed can get you the view of HongKong while you're still in Shenzhen. Sounds exciting right 😁 ? Yes, that's what Nanshan park (南山公园) offers you. With a height of around 2000 metres above see level, you can get to this view point after some 40 minutes of hiking. One golden advice if you're a coffee lover, better buy one cappuccino or whatever soothes you; because there's no coffee shop or any little stores to buy stuffs. So it is better to plan ahead and spend your leisure time here. I would recommend to stay until sunrise and also enjoy the night view of the Shenzhen city. #summervacation#hikingtrails#urbanexplorer

When it comes to food or drink, I've always been a wanderlust and never shied away from any restaurant or cuisine. One such exploration led me to this another planet in Shenzhen. I said 'planet' just because, the name of the place is Life on Mars🌝; located inside OCT harbour. In my short visit to this busy city, I had the best whiskey sour in the town. Although I am not a great fan of whiskey 😅 this cocktail 🍸 has definitely made its way into my favorites. With a perfect mix of egg white🥚, bit of lemon 🍋 and whiskey ( probably I'm not telling the complete recipe haha); this drink is a perfect blend that makes your night 🌃 such a bliss in this bustling city. #bestwhiskeysour #bestdrink #besttrip#summerdays#urbanexplorer#tripfoodie

Mount Qiniang(七娘山), located in Dapeng Peninsula, is the second highest mountain in Shenzhen with 869 meter height and 7 peaks. Most visitors get started at the 大鹏半岛国家地址公园 entrance. It's all the way up with stairs, very tiring though but stunning views from the observation decks of Jiaochangwei(较场尾), Xichong(西冲) and some ancient rocks. While the way down is wild trail with a few climbs, which is my favorite, especially the last 1-2 km with all the small bamboos, can't be more relaxing! 🎟:🆓, health code is required for entrance ❌Pets ❌Lighter #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #shenzhen #hike #qiniangshan #weekend

My friends are tired of me *subtly* suggesting we eat at Ms. Cao's at Coco Park yet again. But there's honestly no better Korean BBQ in Shenzhen, in my opinion. It's super central to the Ping An Tower and lots of other happening things. More often than not, Ms. Cao's is a bookend of a good night; either my coco park night's start there or end there! #lightthecity #deliciousfood#tripfoodie#urbanexplorer

For an unforgettable staycation, one must get fresh perspectives of their city. I personally can think of no better way than perched 40 stories above Coco Park, sipping a heady rosè and taking in the sights at the Shangri-La FuTian. First visited by my fiancé and I for his birthday, we thought we were in for the usual "Ah, a place to sleep a few kilometers away from our own apartment just to break routine." But from the moment we walked through the doors into the gilded lobby, everything was breathtaking and bespoken. They'd sprinkled roses everywhere in our spacious suite, included a complimentary bottle of wine and hand delivered a beautiful cake and card to mark the milestone. These little touches were deeply appreciated ❤️ We planned on having dinner at the nearby remarkable restaurants we're always frequenting, but during afternoon tea at the hotel realized we'd be remiss to do so. Pro-tip: spring for an executive room or suite. The lounge access is so worth it, and the open bar so much fun! Plus the other benefits, like a late checkout (especially useful after a night of clubbing in nearby Coco Park!) executive status really ups the ante! Our suite featured two bathrooms alone, far larger than our actual apartment! I cannot speak highly enough of the impeccable services, facilities, location, and personalization of my Shangri-La stay. For business, romance, or getaway fun with friends, go for the lovely central location and nearby entertainment, stay for the noteworthy splendor. #smelltheroses#deliciousfood#beautifulsunsets#beautifulhotel#romanticrestaurant#couplestrip#urbanexplorer#qingmingtravel#lightthecity

Qiniangshan Park, on Dapeng Peninsula in Shenzhen, is a great day trip from anywhere in the Pearl River Delta. The climb to the top is a good challenge and the view from the top is brilliant. The park is huge and there are many trails to choose from. Right now there are many wildflowers over the mountain. Dapeng has many other attractions such as beaches and an ancient fortress, so it makes a good weekend getaway. #urbanexplorer #springblossomshenzhen #springblossoms #lightthecity #shenzhen #guangdong #hiking #mountains #sea #beach #photography #springblossoms#lightthecity#roadtrip#urbanexplorer#seasidephotoguide

As I was preparing for my business trip to Shenzhen, only before leaving Shanghai I get to know that I'll be staying in Hyatt regency 🤩. Then suddenly an idea 💡 popped up in my mind, why not to extend the stay and just do staycation for a night. Also I was quite successful in persuading my company to book it for me 😜. After two good days of work, I decided to do the staycation on Saturday. The hotel had an amazing view of nearing towers and a neatly cleaned well maintained swimming pool 🏊 . Ofcourse, the breakfast 🥞had all the varieties that you would expect in a top notch hotel 🛍️. It was a nice time spend there. #staycation #shenzhentravel #summervacation#hotelstay

5 Days holiday gone wrong? NOT. Because we are advised to just stay inside Shenzhen, don't go out the city, I thought my 5 days vacation will be ruined... Good thing, Hard Rock Hotel in Shenzhen (Mission Hills) accommodates travel-hungry souls like us. 😁 The pool time is F-U-N!!!!! (by the way, it's our nth time to visit the hotel, we really like it here!) #beautifulhotel#summervacation#urbanexplorer
