Fairy-tale forest train, the Oriental Overseas Chinese Town train guide to check in the Oriental Overseas Chinese Town forest train does not require the purchase of an entrance ticket to the Oriental Overseas Chinese Town, and tickets can be bought separately. Scan the code on-site to purchase tickets, 30r on weekdays and 50r on weekends, free for children under 1.2m in height. A round on the train takes about 50 minutes, and one ticket allows for multiple rides. It's not only popular with children but also with adults! The train operates from 10:00 to 17:00. Sitting on the left side at the back of the train offers a more beautiful view. Around four in the afternoon, there are fewer people, allowing you to switch sides to enjoy the scenery on both sides. Along the way, you can overlook the entire European-style town, the lake, and mountain scenery, and see the Dahuaxing Temple and Meisha Tip in the distance. You will also pass through several tunnels. It's not hot in the summer on the train, as the breeze is quite refreshing. The temperature here is a few degrees cooler than in the city center, making it a great place to take children out in the summer.

If you're going to the Oriental Overseas Chinese Town Grand Canyon, you can get off at the Big Bend without exiting the station, and one ticket allows for multiple rides.

The Bougainvillea waterfall in Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden is located in the parking area, where a five-story high flower wall pours down like nature's palette, blooming with tender romance. Unlike the common bright pink, the Bougainvilleas here are predominantly light pink, resembling a cherry blossom tunnel in spring, yet with an added touch of tropical passion and resilience. From October to April of the following year is the peak blooming season for Bougainvilleas, when they bloom vengefully, turning the parking lot into the most incredible dreamy garden. 🏞️ Must-visit attractions: - Best time to take photos: The soft light before sunset allows you to capture the gentlest pink of the Bougainvilleas. Remember to plan your trip in advance to avoid missing the best light and shadow. - Try different angles and compositions, such as shooting from below the flower waterfall or using reflections to add depth to your photos. - Why not slow down and wander through the flowers, feeling the surprise and tranquility of an unexpected encounter. 🚗 Detailed address: Shenzhen Xianhu Botanical Garden parking lot, accessible from Exit C3 of Line 8, no entrance ticket required for close-up viewing. 🛣️ Transportation tips: - Subway: Take the subway to Line 8, get off at Exit C3, and walk to reach the destination. - Bus: Several bus routes go directly to the vicinity of Xianhu Botanical Garden. After getting off, follow the signs and walk for a few minutes to arrive. 🍲 Food recommendations: - On the way to Xianhu Botanical Garden, try the IMA Cap Western restaurant at the exit of Longhua subway station to add a refined taste to your journey. - On the way back, don't miss the seafood stalls in Shenzhen. Fresh seafood paired with chilled beer is the perfect end to a day's journey. 🏞️ Nearby attractions recommendations: - Wutong Mountain Scenic Area: Not far from the Bougainvillea waterfall is Shenzhen's highest peak, Wutong Mountain. Climb to the top for a different view of the city. - East Overseas Chinese Town: Experience the perfect combination of eco-tourism and cultural entertainment.
