In late October, about 20 or 30 black-faced spoonbills were spotted at the Guangdong Neilingding Futian National Nature Reserve, marking the start of Shenzhen’s migratory bird season.

There is no better way to rediscover Shenzhen than on two wheels on a clear, breezy day. Here are three healing, picturesque routes to try when the weather is fine.

Shenzhen is renowned for an extensive network of greenways and hiking trails totaling more than 200 kilometers. Joining the network is the recently opened Talent Greenway (Rencai Greenway) in Longhua District, China’s first green path themed around talent and civic life.

The western artificial island of the Shenzhen-Zhongshan Link — a monumental cross-sea project in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area — began a month-long trial operation as a tourism destination on Saturday.

Yantian District, not far from downtown Shenzhen and now easily accessible by Metro, never fails to impress with its lush scenery and sweeping sea views.

OCT-LOFT, a vibrant cultural park that blends raw industrial architecture with creative design, contemporary art and avant-garde music, has recently turned two buildings near its south entrance into a lively block called LOFT53.

The Bao’an Exhibition High Line Park is Shenzhen’s latest experiment in urban imagination. The 1.7-kilometer-long, 25-meter-wide elevated greenway that reads part skypark, part people-mover, follows the same logic but elevates it.

Boasting more than 200 kilometers of hiking trails across the city, Shenzhen offers outdoor options in varying degrees of difficulties to suit all levels of enthusiasts.
