People from my hometown came to explore Shenzhen's Dahuaxing Temple, Tea Stream Valley, and Yunhai Square
In the past two days, we played around Dameisha and Xiaomeisha with my parents and nephews. Today, we will go further east to Dahuaxing Temple, Tea Stream Valley, and Yunhai Square.
👍️Recommended reasons: Close to nature, beautiful scenery, and not far from MGM.
📅Travel guide:
✅Dahuaxing Temple
🙏Dahuaxing Temple is the highest temple in Shenzhen, known as the sacred realm of Zen. The 23.3-meter-high four-faced Guanyin stands on 108 steps, symbolizing the elimination of 108 troubles by climbing up.
My parents are keen on worshiping Buddha and climbing mountains, so this place is really suitable for them.
Climbing to the top of the mountain, watching the clouds roll by, overlooking the Sanshoutian Reservoir, with undulating mountains, is truly breathtaking.
The four-faced Guanyin are: Bodhi Right Guanyin, Lotus Hand Guanyin, Child-giving Guanyin, and Worldly Respect Guanyin, praying for peace, career, children, and wealth, all of which the Bodhisattva says okay.
🏯Praying in the mist, mysterious and solemn. The Tang-style temple is full of historical charm in every brick and tile.
🎢After worshiping Guanyin, we head to Tea Stream Valley~ East OCT Tea Stream Valley
⛲️Located in East OCT, Tea Stream Valley is the only place worth visiting now. The once glorious East OCT used to be so crowded during holidays that it was impossible to move. Now it can't withstand the passage of time. Fortunately, Tea Stream Valley is still there and is now open for free. It's really great!!
🎡Currently, only a small part of Tea Stream Valley is open, suitable for a quick tour and taking photos.
We came to Tea Stream Valley mainly to take the kids on the 🚂small train.
🚂To be honest, this small train is really great! The whole journey is 5.2km, takes 50 minutes, and as long as you don't leave the station, you can ride it unlimited times. The kids really enjoy riding back and forth. The adults can finally relax and take photos slowly. 📸
🛤️The train passes through the mountains🏔️, you can see the Interlaken Hotel by the river💦, European-style castles🏰, and the Sanshoutian Reservoir⛰️. It's really like walking into a fairy tale💫💫, temporarily letting go of the tension, and relaxing with the kids.
🌸The last stop, we took the small train to Yunhai Square~ Yunhai Square
🏕️Yunhai Square is located behind Meishajian and Sanshoutian Reservoir. The unique 🛥️ship-shaped design is a new popular check-in point. Located on the top of the mountain, it is really between the sea of clouds⛅️. There are not many people, you can overlook Yantian Port, and see the islands of Hong Kong in the distance. 🏝️The air is filled with tranquility and vastness.
In Yunhai Square, there is a Yunhai Library📖. Sitting inside reading a book and drinking coffee☕️, it really feels like that song: Towards the Clouds. Such romance is really hard to miss. Every photo taken here looks good, no need for editing.
Listening to the waves, watching the clouds roll by, chasing the sunset, this place is simply a real-life version of Sky City. 🌿
🏨Accommodation guide: We still stay at the MGM Hotel. The Interlaken and Black Forest Hotels here are also pretty good, you can try them.
💗Other tips: There are few places to eat nearby. Because of the hot weather, we only played for a few hours and then went back to the hotel to rest. If you plan to stay here for a long time, it is recommended to bring enough water and food.
