Fairylake Botanical Garden

Fairylake Botanical Garden is a 546-hectare space at the base of Wutong Mountain in northeastern Shenzhen featuring 12 themed gardens, lakes, and hillsides. The layout uses natural elevation changes and water features to create distinct areas throughout the grounds.

The garden was established in 1983 and opened to the public in 1988, becoming an important destination over time. In 2007 it received the national AAAA level classification from China's tourism authority.

The Hongfa Temple within these grounds serves as an active Buddhist center where monks perform ceremonies throughout the year. Visitors can walk through the temple halls and experience the spiritual practices that take place there.

The grounds are accessible by buses 382, 363, or 220, and also by metro lines 2 or 8, with free entry available from 4:00 PM onward. Multiple transport options make reaching the location straightforward.

The National Cycad Conservation Center preserves more than 240 species from multiple genera and holds the world's second-largest collection of these ancient plants. Visitors can encounter rare plant varieties found nowhere else with such diversity.
