Shenzhen's First Mountain-Sea Hiking Trail Completed

SHENZHEN’S first mountain-sea hiking trail extending from Tanglang Mountain to Shenzhen Bay via the riverbank of Dasha River in Nanshan District has been completed, according to the city’s urban management authority Friday.

Hikers can start from Jimu Pavilion, the peak of Tanglang Mountain, where they can have a panoramic view of Shenzhen Bay and the northern area of Hong Kong, walk downhill to the Chaguang entrance at the foot of the mountain, and pass through the newly built Zijianyuan Park to enter the Dasha River Ecological Corridor before finally arriving at Shenzhen Bay Park.

The 13-kilometer trail is the first finished project of the city’s three-year (2022-2024) action plan for the construction of a “city of parks” in Shenzhen unveiled early this month that intends to connect mountains, rivers and sea in a more harmonious way.

Part of the city’s 260-kilometer-long east-west walking trail stated in the plan, the footpath provides residents with green escape for leisure, social activities, and mental restoration.
