Location & Access

Shenzhen Safari Park Peacock Garden sits inside the larger Shenzhen Safari Park, located at 4065 Xili Road in Nanshan District. It’s nestled in the green hills of Xili Town, a 30-minute drive from downtown Shenzhen. The park is easy to reach by metro (Line 7 to Xili Lake Station) or bus, and there’s plenty of parking if you drive.

Natural Beauty

At Shenzhen Safari Park Peacock Garden, you’ll find over 100 peacocks and peahens roaming freely. They’re mostly blue peacocks, but keep an eye out for rare white and green peacocks too! The garden mimics a tropical forest with palm trees, streams, and wooden bridges. When the peacocks fan their tails, it’s like a burst of colorful fireworks against the lush backdrop.

Wildlife Encounters

This isn’t just a “look-don’t-touch” attraction. For 10 yuan, you can buy feed to attract the peacocks. They’re surprisingly bold—some might even land on your shoulder! The best time to visit is morning or late afternoon. That’s when the peacocks are most active, and you’ll catch them strutting (or preening!) at their peak.

Cultural Touches

In Chinese culture, peacocks symbolize good fortune and beauty. At Shenzhen Safari Park Peacock Garden, this theme plays out in subtle details: carved peacock statues, luck-wishing stones, and even a small theater where guides share fun facts about these birds. It’s light on history, heavy on charm.

Family-Friendly Vibes

The garden is designed with kids in mind. Low fences mean short ones can see the peacocks up close, and there’s a shaded picnic area with tables. For parents, clean restrooms and free Wi-Fi are lifesavers. Pro tip: The on-site café sells peacock-themed cookies—a sweet treat for little ones!

Immersive Experience

Walking through Shenzhen Safari Park Peacock Garden feels like stepping into a postcard. The peacocks aren’t the only stars; tropical birds like parrots and pheasants add to the aviary symphony. Bend down, wave some feed, and you’ll have peacocks gathering around you like old friends. Just don’t be surprised if they “help” themselves to your camera bag!

Practical Tips

Wear comfy shoes—the garden is sprawling but stroller-friendly. Bring sunscreen for sunny days, and avoid weekends if you prefer a crowd-free visit. English signs are sparse, but staff are helpful. And hey, if you visit during spring, you might spot baby peacocks following their parents—it’s like a feathered soap opera!

Whether you’re a bird lover or just looking for a peaceful escape, Shenzhen Safari Park Peacock Garden delivers. It’s the kind of place where nature’s beauty and playful wildlife create memories that stick—long after the peacocks have flown.
