Hello, work is suspended, let's have a relaxing chat.

If you haven't figured out how to visit the park, why not take a look at our selection of scenic spots, can they be your candidate destinations?
Multi-picture warning, I wish you a good time :)
In the parks of Guangzhou, you can get a glimpse of history
According to Hunk, a lover of ancient architecture, visiting the park is not only for relaxation, but also a way to understand the city: "Go to the historic park, stand in front of the old buildings and see the stories left on them; Or listen to the old people talk about the old people under the big banyan tree, or just hang out, watch the flowers bloom and fall, watch the clouds roll up, and see all the interesting scenery in the city. ”

In the process of urbanization, the park is a soft buffer zone between man and nature, like an invisible filament, connecting all creatures in this land. A city park, a green space in the middle of the street, can be home to wild birds. In the busy city life, the beauty of unexpected encounters with birds brings people a different kind of surprise.
By the end of 2021, there were 382 species of wild birds registered in Shenzhen, and these inconspicuous little ones who are usually hidden in the woods and grasses form a huge population vein.
