Suggested order

  1. Start at Children’s Palace station and explore the public spaces around Civic Center.
  2. Choose one open cultural venue nearby, such as the library or an exhibition.
  3. Walk into Lianhua Hill Park and end at the viewpoint before dusk.
Planning note

Do the hill in daylight; verify indoor venue hours separately.

Additional route note: For a gentler climb, EyeShenzhen suggests approaching Lianhua Hill from Lianhua North station and descending toward Civic Center. Use this as an alternative start if the viewpoint is your priority. EyeShenzhen source ↗
