Location & How to Get There

Shiyi Tea House sits in a hidden gem of Shenzhen—the Shenzhen-Hong Kong Flower Center in Nanshan District. Tucked along Shahe West Road (No. 4811), it’s a breath of fresh air away from the city’s hustle. If you’re near OCT or the tech hub, it’s just a short ride away.

To reach Shiyi Tea House, take Metro Line 1 to Baistone Station. From there, a 10-minute walk or a quick bike ride will land you at the flower center. Buses 36 and 54 also drop you nearby. Driving? Park at the flower center’s lot, and wander down to S08—you can’t miss the cozy tea house surrounded by greenery.

Natural Vibes

Shiyi Tea House isn’t just a tea spot; it’s a mini oasis. The flower center itself is a garden paradise, with seasonal blooms, bonsai trees, and winding paths. At Shiyi, you’ll sit under a canvas of leaves, with sunlight filtering through—perfect for Instagram shots. In spring, cherry blossoms and tulips create a colorful backdrop, while summer’s thick tree cover offers cool shade. Even on busy days, the natural setting keeps things peaceful.

Cultural Blend

What makes Shiyi Tea House special? It’s where tradition meets trendy. Inside, you’ll find vintage tea utensils, wooden decor, and shelves lined with rare tea blends. The owners host live tea ceremonies, letting you sip while watching the ritual unfold. But don’t worry—it’s not stuffy! They also serve modern bubble tea and fruit-infused drinks if you’re not into bitter puer.

The space doubles as an art hub. Local artists often showcase paintings or pottery here, and you might stumble upon a calligraphy workshop. It’s a laid-back way to get a taste of Chinese culture without feeling like a tourist trap.

Extra Perks

Shiyi Tea House has all the little touches that make a visit easy. Free Wi-Fi? Check. Charging ports at every table? Yep. They even have English menus to guide you through the tea options. Feeling peckish? Try the matcha-infused snacks or mooncakes—they pair perfectly with a cuppa.

For families, there’s a kids’ corner with books and coloring supplies, so parents can relax while kids stay entertained. Solo travelers will love the window nooks, ideal for people-watching (or flower-staring).

The Experience

Visiting Shiyi Tea House feels like stepping into a slower-paced world. Start with a walk around the flower center—smell the jasmine, spot koi in the pond, then settle into a bamboo chair at the tea house. Order a signature oolong; the staff happily explain the flavors and brewing style. On weekends, live guzheng music adds a soothing soundtrack.

Pro tip: Come early or late afternoon to avoid crowds. Pair your tea with a stroll through the adjacent bonsai garden, and you’ve got a recipe for a chilled-out Shenzhen day. Whether you’re a tea aficionado or just here for the vibes, Shiyi Tea House is a must-visit slice of serenity.
