Location & How to Get There

Guanyinshan Park is tucked away in Dapeng District of Shenzhen, near the Wangmu Overpass in Longgang. Don’t confuse it with the famous Guanyin Mountain in Dongguan—this one’s a hidden gem! To reach it, take Metro Line 3 to Dapeng Station, then grab a taxi (~10 minutes). If driving, park at the entrance (free!) and walk up a gentle slope. The park’s sign isn’t huge, so keep an eye out for “Guanyinshan Park” signs.

Natural Scenery: Springs & Views

The park’s biggest surprise? A natural spring next to the Guanyin statue! Locals call it “fairy water”—scoop a bottle with the provided dipper and taste the cool, mineral-rich water. It’s safe to drink! After exploring the statue, climb the steps behind the temple for a panoramic view of Dapeng’s coastline. On clear days, the sea and sky blend into one—perfect for photos!

Cultural Highlights: Temple & Statue

At the heart of Guanyinshan Park stands a huge Guanyin statue, surrounded by a peaceful temple. Unlike crowded tourist spots, this place feels intimate. You can light incense (free) and make a quiet wish. The temple’s red walls and golden roofs contrast beautifully with the green hills.

Practical Tips: Access & Facilities

  • Free entry: No tickets needed!
  • Parking: Free lot at the entrance, but arrive early on weekends.
  • Trail: The uphill path to the viewpoint takes ~20 minutes. Comfortable shoes recommended!
  • Hydration: Besides the spring, there are drinking fountains along the trail.

What to Expect: A Relaxing Visit

Guanyinshan Park is perfect for a chill day. Start by drinking from the spring (it’s fun!), then explore the temple. The hike up is easy, with shaded spots to rest. Families love it because kids can run freely, and there’s no loud commercialism. End your visit on the viewpoint—watching the sun set over the sea is worth the trip alone!

Pro Tip: Bring a small bottle to collect “fairy water” as a souvenir. And check the weather—rainy days add a misty vibe to the trails!
