Litchi Park

Shenzhen


When big-city fatigue sets in, you can seek refuge in this spacious inner-city park. It may still get busy but here the mood is created by musicians, elderly taichi practitioners, couples crossing faux-ancient bridges and a small lake. There are a few kids' amusement rides and paddleboats for rent.
