Renowned as the “most beautiful marathon mountain-lake greenway in Shenzhen,” this scenic route boasts three iconic bridges — the Floating Bridge, the Exploring Bridge, and the Suspension Bridge — that have become must-see attractions in the city. It offers hikers and cyclists breathtaking views of Guangming Lake, Guangming Science City, and the central business district, seamlessly blending nature with urban landscapes.

Effective Nov. 16, cyclists can pedal freely along the entirety of the Dadingling Greenway between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily. Ensuring a pleasant experience for all, riders are reminded to don safety helmets and protective gear, maintain a moderate speed, and refrain from haphazardly parking their bikes, thereby obstructing the paths of fellow parkgoers. Reckless riding behaviors, such as speeding or performing stunts, are discouraged. Upon exiting the park, cyclists are urged to ride their bikes out of the greenway and avoid leaving them within the premises.

Pets are not allowed on the greenway. Visitors can opt for designated pet parks to enjoy leisurely activities with their furry companions.
