Taojin Hill Greenway: A trail of treasure in the city

Who needs real gold when you have the natural riches of Taojin Hill Greenway? The name “Taojin” translates to “panning for gold,” but the true treasures here aren’t minerals — they’re the lush woods, crisp air, and breathtaking views along this stunning greenway.

The Taojin Hill Greenway is a 6-kilometer trail winding through vibrant greenery around the Shenzhen Reservoir. With its gentle slopes and sweeping panoramas, it’s a paradise for walkers, runners, and cyclists alike.

Let’s take a visual journey through the lens of Shenzhen Daily photographer Liu Xudong.
