Travel in ShenZhen
Located in Shenzhen’s Guangming District, Guangming Town features the landscape themes of mountain forest, communities and farmland. The recently-opened Dadingling Greenway is more than a hiking trail. The “Three Bridges”, which link the mountain forest and the lake, are the most impressive photo hotspots that attract many tourists and locals.
The “Floating Bridge”, also known as the Glass Bridge, is designed with three circular viewing platforms at different heights offering distinct scenic views, giving you the feeling of floating in the forest as you overlook the valley and the lake. The bridge is also equipped with solar panels to collect energy for night lighting, offering a different ambience in the evening. Tips: If you’re mainly visiting the Glass Bridge, check if it’s open before you go (the bridge is sometimes closed due to heavy traffic.)
The “Discovery Bridge” is located closer to the foot of the mountain, away from the main greenway. With the “rope net” design in the centre, the bridge gives the feeling of being part of the forest and exploring a secret place. The seats along both sides are specially designed to blend in with the bridge. That, coupled with the ergonomic design, allows people to experience nature in different postures.
The “Hanging Bridge” connects two hilltops at 30 metres above the ground. Looking up at the people on the bridge are like watching acrobats on wire. And when you actually stand on the bridge, you will have this feeling of having the earth far beneath your feet, which is quite exciting.
Hongqiao Park is hailed as the most popular photo hotspot by the Shenzhen media, and many people call it the “Red Bridge”. The 4km-long bridge is built along the hillside, like a spectacular red ribbon running through different mountain ranges and lakes. As you walk along the bridge, you will be greeted by lush greenery on both sides, which is pleasing to the eye. The roof at the entrance is designed as a large staircase. You can sit on it and take selfies in the sunset, making a perfect end to the day!The above information is for reference only and is subject to change without prior notice.
