Shenzhen One-Day Tour: Shenzhen Museum + Ping An Finance Center + Splendid China Folk Village + Shenzhen Bay Park
Welcome to Shenzhen (adjacent to Hong Kong), China's first special economic zone and one of its most dynamic megacities. It is also one of the world's famous modern and international metropolises and a UNESCO-certified "City of Design."
This morning around 8:50 to 9:00, our guide and driver will meet you in the lobby of your Shenzhen hotel or at the train station (Shenzhen Futian Station/Shenzhen North Station) and take you to begin today's wonderful Shenzhen tour.
First, visit the [Shenzhen Museum], known as "China's most modern museum," to gain an in-depth understanding of Shenzhen's history, culture, and development process. As you stroll through the museum, you can visit the History and Folk Customs Hall to comprehensively learn about Shenzhen's ancient and modern history, folk culture, and the reform and opening-up process. Among the highlights are historical sites such as Nantou Ancient City and Dapeng Fortress, as well as dynamic wax figures recreating Cantonese/Hakka life scenes, which are worth savoring carefully. If you are interested, you can also visit the Shenzhen Reform and Opening-up Exhibition Hall to immersively witness the dramatic transformation of Shenzhen from an inconspicuous small fishing village into today's bustling international metropolis.
Then, take a leisurely stroll through Shenzhen's city center, admire the towering skyscrapers, and enjoy the fascinating landscape of "China's Silicon Valley." Among them, Ping An International Finance Center (about 599 meters high, Shenzhen's tallest building, China's second-tallest building, and the world's fourth-tallest building), KK100 (about 442 meters high, once Shenzhen's tallest building and now its second-tallest), and Diwang Mansion (about 384 meters high, the first super high-rise building in mainland China and once Asia's tallest building when completed) are three famous landmark buildings in Shenzhen and milestones of the city's development at different stages. Whether viewed up close or from afar, they are very impressive. If you are interested, you can go up to the [Ping An International Finance Center], take one of China's fastest sightseeing elevators, and reach the observation deck on the 116th floor, where you can enjoy a 360-degree panoramic view of Shenzhen. On clear days, you will also have the chance to gaze at the amazing scenery of Hong Kong in the distance.
In the afternoon, visit [Splendid China Folk Village], where "one step enters history, and one day tours all of China." This is China's first and once the world's largest miniature landscape theme park, as well as a famous local landmark, allowing you to easily explore China's 5,000 years of history and culture and unique ethnic customs in a short time. As you stroll through it, you can immersively check in at 82 famous attractions in 1:15 miniature scale, such as the Great Wall, the Forbidden City, the Terracotta Army, and the Potala Palace; a scene of ancient Chinese marketplace life gathered from more than 50,000 ceramic figurines; and 27 original ecological Chinese village buildings and the cultural customs of 56 ethnic groups, such as Dai bamboo houses, Mongolian yurts, Tibetan stone towers, Miao stilted houses, the Wa "Hair Swinging Dance," and the Hani "Terraced Fields Joyful Song." Amid melodious songs and graceful dances, appreciate the diverse charm of the Chinese nation.
After experiencing the fascinating culture, visit [Shenzhen Bay Park], known as the "Window to the Blue Sea." This is Shenzhen's iconic seaside leisure destination and an ecological corridor connecting Shenzhen and Hong Kong. You can leisurely stroll along it and enjoy the magnificent ocean scenery and the continuous coastline, or find a quiet corner to rest. Not only can you relax physically and mentally, but you can also gaze at Hong Kong's magnificent skyline in the distance and enjoy the amazing urban scenery of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. If the weather permits, you can also capture beautiful sunrise or sunset views.
After the tour, this wonderful and unforgettable 1-day Shenzhen tour will come to an end, and our driver will take you to the airport/train station.
