Visit the mountain top exhibition hall to understand the development history of Shenzhen. Pay tribute to the great man at Deng Xiaoping's bronze statue square. At the same time, overlook the skyscrapers in Futian Central District and feel the modern atmosphere and urban scenery of Shenzhen.
- Noon: Look for a restaurant or snack bar near Lianhua Mountain Park for a meal. If you like noodles, you can choose a small shop to taste wonton noodles. The delicious soup base combined with smooth noodles and wontons full of fillings is very satisfying. Or choose a Cantonese restaurant and taste barbecued meat rice. The crispy and tender barbecued meat with fragrant rice is delicious. Take a short rest after the meal to replenish your energy.
- Afternoon: Take the subway to Shenzhen Bay Park. Exit from Exit D of Shenzhen Bay Park Station and you can see the sea. Walk along the extremely long coastline, enjoy the sea breeze, admire the beautiful sea view and take pictures. You can also catch crabs by the sea and enjoy a leisurely afternoon.

Admire the sea view and urban light show at night and feel the romantic atmosphere. You can go to the Zhongshuge on the first floor to check in. The spiral bookshelves seem to make people enter the dreamland. After that, choose a seafood restaurant near OCT Harbour to taste fresh seafood dishes such as steamed grouper and salt and pepper “pipixia” (I don't know what "pipixia" is in English, so I left it as is). Feel the original taste of seafood. Or choose a western restaurant to enjoy a romantic dinner atmosphere.
