Outdoor enthusiasts have shifted their focus to the picturesque hiking trails in Guangming District during the National Day holiday, as reported by the Shenzhen Guangming WeChat account.
The extensive hiking and mountain trail network in the district spans approximately 147 kilometers, consisting of a 59-kilometer hiking trail and an 88-kilometer mountain trail. Not only does the trail system showcase the natural beauty of the district, but it also connects key attractions such as mountain ranges and urban viewing spots. The trail system, comprised of greenways, paths, and fire-prevention pathways, is fully utilized to create a continuous trail and experiential space with comprehensive service facilities and way-finding systems.
One of the highlights of the trail is the Dadingling Demonstration Section, which features a 6.4-kilometer greenway with iconic landmarks like the "Three Bridges"—the Floating Bridge, Exploring Bridge, and Suspension Bridge. This section offers hikers breathtaking views of Guangming Lake, Guangming Science City, and the central business district, seamlessly blending nature with urban landscapes.
Another must-visit location is Hongqiao Park, known for the famous "Guangming Red Ribbon" hiking route. Spanning 4 kilometers and connected to the Dadingling Greenway, this trail provides a peaceful experience surrounded by lush greenery. The highlight of this route is the striking red bridge corridor, one of the largest steel-structured single-pillar multi-curve landscape bridges in the country.
For a more immersive hiking experience, the Guangming District Countryside Path offers a route designed to enchant hiking enthusiasts. Covering approximately 9 kilometers, this trail leads hikers from the north square of Hongqiao Park to the Huang family temple, passing through the ancient village of Jingkou. Visitors can explore the rich historical and cultural heritage of the area, as they encounter ancient trees, verdant hills, and scattered ancestral shrines along the trail, adding a fascinating backdrop to their hiking adventure.
