    It's just like every other theme park with shows running in every park area. Besides the main show at night, most of the themed areas are closed, like the Niagara Falls and monorail that runs throughout the park hence why the night ticket is cheaper. Since everything is made out of concrete/plaster some attractions are better seen at night like the pyramids. The night show itself is amazing and so are some of the replicas, some like the Sydney bridge are worth skipping. Recommend doing the whole day over the night.

    We spent a whole day here! It has miniature replicas of many of the important landmarks in China eg Forbidden City, Potala Palace, various Minority tribal villages. We took a hop on hop off bus that takes you round the park to view the sights at our own pace. It included a boat ride which was surprisingly entertaining. The bonus was all the many live performances held throughout the day showcasing the various cultures of China at no extra charge. Amazing value for money!

    cool theme park - much bigger than any u would find in the uk. quite a few rollercoasters (around 4-5 iirc). spent a whole 11 hours there, having arrived at 10am. most good rides open at roughly 11am but the gold mine rollercoaster is open at 10.

    as u would expect , food and drink inside is a lot more expensive inside BUT they do allow u to bring in your own so u don't have to spend if ya don't want :)

    most rides are 1.4m - 1.9m but there is one or two for kids just over 1m. Also a big play area for young children too (they get free entry) if you're letting your older kids have their own fun.

    the 'better' rides usually take around 30mins to queue for throughout the day (even at 8pm) so i would advise u to arrive early for a day's fun.

    also there are quite a few thrilling water rides so don't dress too heavy (they sell ponchos and leg covers too for 10¥ at the rides)

    long review but hope it helps lol :)

    At the northern edge of Shenzhen's ultramodern commercial core, Lianhuashan Park offers the best view of urban skyline. It is a vast green space at the city's core with plenty of political decorations. The easily accessible summit, with an encompassing statue of Deng Xiaoping, showcases the newfound prosperity of the Guangdong boomtown.

    an oil painting village in Shenzhen, you can walk around this small village in around 2 hours, which can finally find a painting shop for yourself. it is good for family visitors

    If you approach your visit as a game you'll have fun. Lots of pushy touts but they're just doing their job.
    Copies everywhere, mostly poor quality.
    Tailoring is another minefield..... most cut silly corners on thread, zips, buttons etc so your clothes may simply fall apart after a short time, but Jery Cheng and Calvin are both good.
    For eyewhere Joseph is great, he owns several stores in the building.

    My wife and I visited in November which is a terrific time of year to visit. We included the Hongfa Temple as it is within the gounds. Its just a fabulos day out for those who love the great outdoors. The Hongfa Temple is magnificent and the gardens are just beautiful. It would be hard to nderstand if anyone gave this attracion a low score. The walk up frm the Subway is also very pretty and the local neighbourhood very interesting.

    I really like this mall because of the diversity of it, many different stores, many different food items... The shopping, i would say is on the pricier end... But you can find some great resturants here...

    Cultural Commercial Centre mostly comprising mid to upscale restaurants. For cheaper food and wider shopping options go to the Happy Mall located on the north end of the area. There's an open air theatre here but I'm assuming most stage events happen weekends. Worth a visit

    We stayed close by to this park and found it such a delight to go for our morning walk each day. The locals gather here each day and sing, dance, meditate and practice their preferred instruments which is a terrific experience for any tourist. The park is beautiful and has many wonderful trees and shrubs, public toilets and a lake with pergoda. After our walk we enjoyed a coffee at Starbucks across the road each day….

    This scenic coastal park spans across 13 kilometres and 108 hectares and is visited by an average of 1 million people monthly. From here, you can see Hong Kong on the other side of the water. The park is well-equipped with benches and washrooms, making it comfortable for visitors. I took a two-hour evening walk along the coastline walkway and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

    The climb/walk is not easy... Many steps... parts are unpaved and slippery... That being said- the views are incredible... You can see clear across the city to Nanshan...

    Bring sunscreen, water... there are places along the route for drinks and snacks
