在深圳玩雪
深圳無雪更無冰，四季皆然。但市民多為北方移民，心中懷念有雪的故鄉。愿望催生了國內最大的室內滑雪場：世界之窗“阿爾卑斯冰雪世界”。嬉雪場里大人可以從五層樓高的雪道沖下；小朋友玩20米的迷你滑道，更可以打雪仗。游人躲過南國似火驕陽，一腳踏進冰雪世界，鄉戀瞬間沁入心扉。
Alps Snow World
Shenzhen has no snow, much less ice-this is how it is year round. However, with many of the residents of the people hailing from the northern portions of the country, there is a market for those who miss the weather of their hometowns. This led to the construction of the country's largest indoor snow park: Window of the World's "Alps Snow World". Adults can slide down a five-storey slope, and children can enjoy a 20-metre mini-slope, as well as snowball fights. Visitors to the city can avoid the scorching heat here; just take a step inside and let your spirit fly.
樹林里的潛伏者
噪鵑，聽名字就不招人待見，晝夜不停的響亮叫聲吸引著觀鳥者，但幾乎無人見過此鳥。深圳的噪鵑多為華南亞種，每日清晨凄厲開叫，擾人清夢。夏季在公園及樹木濃密處，均可聞其嘹亮的鳴叫。禽鳥專家說，噪鵑能在城市出現，說明這里生態環境極好，此鳥數量日稀，已入世界瀕危物種紅色名錄。
Lurkers in the Bush
The Chinese Koel is a bird that lurks in the foliage, calling out day at night, but is rarely seen. The variety common in Shenzhen is that of the Southern Chinese subspecies. Every day as the sun rises it lets out shrill and forlorn cry, waking those sleeping nearby. In the summer it's often about in the dense trees of parks and forests, and its call can be heard everywhere. Ornithologists say that for the koel to appear in a city, the environment must be exceptionally good. The bird is rare, and has been placed on the red list for endangered species.
赤灣天后宮的香火裊裊
天后又稱媽祖，為沿海地區漁民共同信仰的海神。赤灣天后宮始建于宋代，明朝鄭和下西洋，曾以此為一站，遂成海上絲綢之路的重要節點。魯言于《香港掌故》記載：“由于赤灣天后古廟宏偉，每年農歷三月廿三天后誕，香港、九龍水陸居民都前往赤灣天后廟去賀誕?！敝两裣慊鹑匝U裊不絕。
Smoke from the Temple
Mazu, the goddess of the ocean, is widely worshiped by the local coastal fishers. The temple in Chiwan dedicated to her was built in the Song Dynasty, and was a stop on Zheng He's route when he sailed the ocean in the Ming Dynasty. It also became an important site on the Maritime Silk Road. Lu Yan, in Hong Kong Memories notes: "As the temple to Mazu at Chiwan is large in size, on the twenty-third day of the third lunar month, people from Hong Kong and Kowloon as well as those living upon the water come to the temple to celebrate her birthday." Even today large curls of smoke rise there from the incense being burnt in offering.
從濕地看風水
明永樂八年（1410年），歷史上首次出現“深圳”一詞，本地人稱小河溝為“圳”，深圳因而得名。廣東人普遍迷信，深圳背山靠水，風水極好。已被發現的幾塊濕地被保護起來，蘆葦茂盛，草長鶯飛。對此現代科學另有詮釋，濕地乃城市之腎，調節氣候，改善水質。特區成立至今，得風藏水，全賴斯也。
Feng shui from the Wetlands
The name "Shenzhen" was first used in the 8th year of the Yongle Emperor's reign in the Ming Dynasty (1410). "Shen" means deep and "zhen" is a ditch between fields. Cantonese people are widely superstitious, and believe that the city, both situated on the sea and abutted by mountains, has excellent Feng shui. A number of wetlands that have been discovered are protected, with reeds and grasses growing thickly and birds flying about. Modern scientists explain that they function like the kidneys of the city, regulating the environment and improving water quality, an important function for the urban environment after the establishment of the Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
大華興寺隱于觀音山005
大華興寺矗于三洲田，其之“大”不在廟大，而在佛像大，鎮寺之寶為觀音坐蓮寶像。大華興寺的觀音坐蓮寶像是目前世界上最大的，也是唯一集四尊不同觀音像為一體的佛像。常見都市中各路忙人，抽暇登山入寺。聽鐘鼓之音陣陣，聞彌漫檀香緲緲，立時心靜如水。站在山頂俯瞰山海，萬般煩惱皆拋于九霄。
Dahuaxing Temple
Dahuaxing Temple towers over Sanzhoutian. The "da", meaning big, refers not to the size of the temple, but rather to its statute of Avalokitesvara. The statute of her seated upon a lotus is the world's largest, and the only one depicting her four incarnations. People in the city climb the mountain to visit when they have time. Listening to the beat of the drums and smelling the thick smell of incense, you feel as if your heart has been purified. Standing upon the mountain looking out over the sea, you feel all your worries and troubles float away in the wind.
“花園”深圳
深圳被國際植物學界譽為“全覆蓋的花園”。一個不大的城市居然有1000多個公園，綠化覆蓋率幾近50%，綠色是這座城市最得意的“顏值”。2017年，第19屆國際植物學大會在深圳舉辦。國際植物學大會是該領域規模最大、水平最高的學術會議，被譽為植物科學界的“奧林匹克”。大會歷經百年，首次花落中國。
Shenzhen Garden
Shenzhen is noted for its very high degree of green coverage. The city has over 1,000 parks, and more than fifty-percent vegetative coverage, making it full of natural beauty. In 2017, the 19th International Botanical Congress was conducted in Shenzhen. It is the largest conference in the world of botany, with the highest level of academic discussion-the "Olympics" of the botanical world. The congress has been conducted for a century, and this was the first time it took place in China.
海濱棧道任徜徉
深圳有兩條海濱棧道。一條是世界最長的海濱棧道——東部大鵬灣棧道，東起沙頭角，終點背仔角，全長20千米，有木頭道、水泥道，可騎行、可步行。另一條是西部深圳灣棧道，棧道的對岸是香港米埔，沿著海岸長廊行走，海面碧波蕩漾，海岸紅樹林逶迤，海天之間，數萬只候鳥翔集，深圳灣不再寂寞。
A Walk Along the Beach
Shenzhen has two plank pathways along the ocean, one of which is the world's longest. In the east of the city is the Dapeng Bay Plank Pathway, which originates in the east at Shatoujiao and terminates at Beizaijiao, for a total length of 20 kilometres. It has a plank pathway, and a cement pathway, and can be walked or biked upon. The other plank pathway is in the west, at Shenzhen Bay, opposite the Mipu preserve in Hong Kong. It runs along coast, undulating like the waves of the sea, winding alongside the mangroves. In the vast blue sea and sky migratory birds fly, providing accompaniment to the landscape.
梵音悠揚弘法寺
弘法寺1983年始建，是中華人民共和國成立后首座新建寺院。由于地處改革開放前沿，毗鄰港澳，面向東南亞，中國佛教協會對其寄予厚望：要辦成中國一流的佛教文化寺院，成為同海外佛教界聯誼的紐帶。1992年正式對民眾開放，南禪臨濟宗第44代傳人本煥長老升座方丈。2012年本煥以106歲高齡圓寂，坐化得舍利子。
Hongfa Temple
Hongfa Temple was built in 1983, making it the first new temple built after the founding of the People's Republic of China. In the context of opening up and reform, as it is near Hong Kong and Macao and faces towards southeast Asia, the China Buddhist Association had great hopes for it, to make it a first-rate Chinese Buddhist cultural site, and establish links with Buddhist associations abroad. Formally opened to the people in 1992, the 44th generation Linji practitioner Ben Huan served as abbot. He passed in the seated position in 2012 at 106 years of age, and some sarira remained from cremation of his body.
綠色的紅樹林
紅樹并非某種植物的專稱，紅樹林亦非紅樹之林，乃是10多種熱帶、亞熱帶的常綠灌木和小喬木群落，常起護堤防浪作用。深圳紅樹林位于深圳灣東北岸，與香港隔海相望。1984年正式設立紅樹林保護區。英女王丈夫菲利普親王、丹麥女王丈夫亨里克親王，都曾專程到此觀鳥，并驚嘆于這串“綠色明珠”。
Mangrove Forest
The expansive forests of this subtropical evergreen tree, interspersed with shrubs, function as embankments that shield against waves. Located on the north bank of Shenzhen Bay, they look out across the sea at Hong Kong. In 1984, a protective zone for them was formally established. Prince Philip of the United Kingdom and Prince Henrik of Denmark have both visited for birdwatching, remarking that the site is a "green pearl".
生態廣場擁抱幽靜
人類若要與自然和平相處，首先便要順其自然。華僑城生態廣場循此原則，廣場上的人文和自然景觀均依照原始地形隨勢而建，雖有樓宇在側，但猶如在山野之間。眼前便是山丘、溪流、瀑布、蘆葦、綠蔭和鮮花，人雖置身都市之中，卻又拒喧囂于外，是一個可以擁抱詩意和遠方、發呆的好去處。
Ecological Park
For people to coexist with nature peacefully, we must follow its course. The ecological park in Overseas Chinese Town (OCT) follows this principle, with human and natural vistas following the native shape of the land. Although there are buildings to the sides, it still feels as if one is deep in the mountains, with hills, streams, waterfalls, reeds, the shade of trees and flowers all about. You may be in the city, but you're isolated from the clamour and noise. This is a place full of feelings of poetry and distance, a nice place to let yourself go.
花卉小鎮的荷蘭風情
荷蘭花卉小鎮是深圳文化、創意、休閑、藝術的集群地。前身是南山花卉世界，于2011年開園。荷蘭三寶——木鞋、風車、郁金香皆匯于此。小鎮里花卉園藝店面眾多，隨處都有郁金香的雕塑。鎮里有一小湖名為“蘆趣”，水面平靜，微有波瀾，靠岸多處蘆葦搖擺，紅蓮碧葉雜陳其間，倒是小資拍照的好地方。
Dutch Village
The Holland Flower Village in Shenzhen is a place that combines the culture, creativity, relaxation and art of Shenzhen. It was formerly the Nanshan Floral World, and was opened in its current form in 2011. It has the three Dutch essentials: clogs, windmills and tulips. There are many flower shops here, and the sculptures of tulips are all about. There is also a small lake full of reeds in the village, with calm water only slightly rippling. With water, lotus flowers, and green leaves, this is a great spot to take pictures.
荔枝公園的秋意
深圳的秋天絕不能簡稱“深秋”，因為仍然是夏意。藍天、綠草、鮮花、湖泊，處處溫馨美麗。公園里各色鮮花綻放，路邊果樹碩果累累，草坪綠意盎然。荔枝公園是賞桂花的好去處。秋天桂花開了，黃燦燦的小花掛了一樹，空氣中散發出陣陣清香，沁人心脾。你還可以在湖邊感受一下微風拂面。
Lizhi Park
Autumn in Shenzhen can't really be called autumn, as it still has the feeling of summer. Blue skies, green grasses, bright flowers, clear lakes-beauty is all around. All kinds of flowers bloom in the park, and fruit hang from the branches of trees. Green grass flourishes. Lizhi Park is an excellent place to go to appreciate the osmanthus blooms, which open in early autumn, brilliant yellow with a wonderful fragrance. One feels refreshed in the heart and gladdened in the mind as the soft breeze blows.
荔枝花開
初夏，開園不久的香蜜公園10萬平方米荔枝花海，讓游人流連忘返。荔枝是深圳的特產，三四月開荔枝花，五六月結荔枝果?；ㄏ愎瘕R名，眼福口福皆飽。荔枝花總是密密麻麻地排列在一起，站在香蜜公園的中部棧道，大片大片金黃的荔枝花撲面而來，花香四溢，蜂蝶飛舞，福田香蜜，此言不虛。
Lychees Blooming
At the start of summer, the recently-opened Xiangmi Park, with an area of 100,000 square metres, becomes a sea of lychee flowers. Lychees are a local product in Shenzhen; they bloom in March and April, and bear fruit in May and June. The flowers are fragrant, and the fruit sweet-a true treat. The inflorescences of the lychee trees are dense clusters. Standing on the plank pathway in Xiangmi Park, surrounded by lychee flowers, you're drenched in their fragrance, as bees and butterflies fly about.
蝴蝶谷在夢幻中閃亮
一群斑蝶在長途遷徙途中，來到一處僻靜、隱秘的棲息地。它們聚在一起，層層疊疊地擠在樹干上休息，有時候翩翩起舞，翅膀在寂靜處會發出美妙的聲音，猶如花開一般。這就是馬巒山的蝴蝶谷?！渡钲谧匀还P記》作者南兆旭說：“11月，我可以和同伴們去看看那幾萬只斑蝶回來了沒有。”
A Dreamy Atmosphere
A group of Ursula butterflies come here to take a rest on the route of their long migration. They gather together on the tree branches, occasionally fluttering their wings, making a beautiful sound as they fly about, their movements resembling blooming flowers. This is the Butterfly Valley of Mount Maluan. The author of Notes of Landscape in Shenzhen Nan Zhaoxu says: "In November, I can come with my comrades here to see if the tens of thousands of butterflies have returned."
藍色的拋物線伸向遠方
深圳是個令無數人羨慕的濱海城市。碧波蕩漾，驚濤拍岸，潮起潮落間，滄海桑田變遷。大鵬半島海岸被《中國國家地理》評為中國最美的八大海岸之一，其中東涌、西涌更是深圳的“黃金海岸”。但如今，許多海岸線被填埋、修建、占用。我們應該真正學會珍惜。
A Long Blue Curve
Shenzhen is an enviable coastal city. The surface of the water ripples as mighty waves crash against the coast, rising and falling with the tides. The coast of the Dapeng Peninsula has been listed as one of the eight great coasts in China by the magazine Chinese National Geography. Dongchong and Xichong are both "golden beaches". However in modern times, a lot of the coast has been filled in, built upon, or occupied. We need to learn how to treasure these landscapes.
以深圳人命名的昆蟲
畢業于深圳大學的黃寶平是一個“追蟲子的人”。他先后在坪山和大鵬半島發現了兩種蟻甲科的新種。一種以其母之名命名為“亞連中華錘角蟻甲”，另一種以其外婆之名命名為“珠帶寡節蟻甲”。這是世界首次以深圳人的名字命名昆蟲。在“追蟲人”心中，一個水洼就是一片海洋。
Insects Named by a Local
Graduate of Shenzhen University Huang Baoping is an insect chaser. On Pingshan District and the Dapeng Peninsula, he found two new species of pselaphids, one named for his mother, and one for his grandmother. This was the first time that a Shenzhen local had named a new insect species. Working at the scale he does, a puddle of water is practically an ocean.
如火的簕杜鵑
烈日暴曬，臺風肆虐，全然改變不了簕杜鵑在南國熱土上嬌艷多姿和絢爛奪目的盛放。這種學名為“三角梅”和“九重葛”的花兒是深圳市的市花，花型碩大，花色鮮艷如火。它來自遙遠的南美，折枝便可扦插成活，如同來自全國各地的深圳人一樣，一旦在這片新土扎根，便不畏風吹雨打，怒放生命。
Bougainvillea
Under the hot sun and the intense rain of typhoons, the bougainvillea still grows beautiful and strong in Shenzhen. Bougainvillea glabra is the city flower of Shenzhen, with large, fiery-red blooms. Originally from South America, one can simply snap off a branch and plant it to propagate the plant. Just like the people who come to Shenzhen from all over the country, once it takes root, it can withstand rain and strong wind, and thrives with a will to survive.
“山城”深圳
“青山行不盡，綠水去何長”，崔顥的詩句仿佛字字都道出深圳的形貌。除去綿長的海岸線的擁抱，這座城市似乎靜臥在起伏的山脈之間：梧桐山、筆架山、觀音山、羊臺山、馬巒山……山山不同，各有姿彩。想知道它們的不同，用你的腳去丈量吧！深圳也成為全國最早開展民間登山、探險運動的城市之一。
Mountain City
There are countless mountains to climb and rivers to follow-the words of Tang Dynasty poet Cui Hao seem almost as if they were meant to describe Shenzhen. Aside from the long coastline, Shenzhen also has a large number of peaks and valleys: Mounts Wutong, Bijia, Guanyin, Yangtai, Maluan… There are so many different mountains with different characters here. If you want to know the character of each one, you must walk it with your own footsteps. Shenzhen is one of the earliest Chinese cities in which hiking and exploration became popular in modern times.
自然的愛與愁
深圳自然學者南兆旭說到深圳的自然生態總是滔滔不絕：600年仍然郁郁蔥蔥的古榕樹，在鵬城上空自由飛翔的鳥類，四季常青的山野里恣意生長的珍稀植物，海底世界種類繁多的珊瑚……他用了十幾年在深圳的山海間行走，寫下《深圳自然筆記》，用文圖留住地上的一片綠，并記下他對自然的愛與愁。
Natural Feelings
Shenzhen-based naturist Nan Zhaoxu has so much to say about Shenzhen: a 600-year-old banyan tree, the various birds that fly freely in the sky, the blankets of vegetation upon the mountains, green year round, all the kinds of coral that grow in the sea. He has spent more than a decade exploring the mountains and waters of Shenzhen, writing a book Notes of Landscape in Shenzhen, using pictures and text to describe in detail all the green spots of Shenzhen and his feelings of love and worry for them.
深圳下雪
雪，對深圳人來說無異于一個美麗的童話。這個童話故事在2016年初春讓深圳人大喜過望。一則深圳“下雪”的消息引來梧桐山下車水馬龍，市民紛紛前往山頂“賞雪”。然而，市氣象局表示，大家看到的只是低溫后的霧凇，以及類似白雪的冰粒。下山者將車頭用雪粒堆成的雪人上傳網絡，果然美得像童話。
Snow in Shenzhen
Snow is like something out of a fairy tale for the people of Shenzhen. This tale came to Shenzhen in 2016, when the weather forecasters predicted snow. The roads below Mount Wutong were jammed with traffic, everyone summiting to enjoy the "snow". The meteorological agency noted that in fact it was technically rime that had formed after a low temperature period, small white snow-like balls of ice clinging to the vegetation. People posted pictures of little snowmen they made out of them online, making the fairy tale a reality for others to witness.
梧桐煙云
住在梧桐山下的文人禹安曾寫詩描述梧桐煙云：“梧桐翠壁山徑微，仙湖深秋仍芳菲。敢問弘法覺海在？拈花一笑看落暉。”其實雨后的梧桐山最美，山色翠綠，卻被濃霧縈繞，花草樹木的葉子上都凝聚著一層露珠。此時行山，總會恍惚，以為自己是誤入凡塵的仙家。如此，梧桐山遂成“深圳八景”之首。
Clouds on Mount Wutong
Man of letters Yu An wrote about the smoky clouds on Mount Wutong, their beautiful appearance evoking thoughts in the autumn as they drifted about. The mountain is in fact most beautiful after a rain, with green everywhere that's shrouded in mists, small drops of dew cleaning to the leaves everywhere. Walking the mountain at this time, one feels as if in a trance, as if one has entered a fairy's home in our mortal realm. It's for this reason that Mount Wutong is the foremost of the "eight sights of Shenzhen".
泛紅的毛棉杜鵑節
三月末，綠了一冬的鳳凰臺開始星星點點地泛紅，從山腰到山頂，近20畝的毛棉杜鵑陸陸續續地盛開，深深淺淺的紅色鋪成了一片壯觀的花海。歷時半個月的毛棉杜鵑節，吸引了眾多的市民上山觀賞。當人們一步一步地走向遠離市區的海拔高處，愈走近花的海洋，便愈走近心靈放飛的地方。
Rhododendron Moulmainense
At the end of March, Fenghuang Terrace, which has been green all winter, becomes flecked with points of red everywhere. From the middle of the mountain to its peak, more than 3 acres of land are covered with the blooming rhododendrons, forming a striking sea of red flowers. This half-month-long sight draws many people from the city to admire it. As you walk in this high-up place far from the city, you look out over the sea of flowers as your spirit flies.
窗外有片相思林
“楠榴之木，相思之樹?！毕嗨伎梢猿闪?，亦可以成園。深圳銀湖度假村內，便有一座小小的相思林公園。山頂的烽火臺雖是人造，卻刻著歲月的痕跡，可以鳥瞰整個銀湖美景，清幽的山泉自山頂傾瀉，優雅地從公園中緩緩淌過。時光飛逝，當年熱鬧的度假村游人漸少，而流水依舊，林中的相思依舊。
Acacia Forest
Acacias can form both forests and gardens. At the Yinhu Resort Village in Shenzhen, there is a small park forested with acacias. Although the beacon tower at the peak is man-made, it still shows the traces of years of wear. From here one can look out over the entire lake into which spring water slowly flows from the mountain, passing quietly through the park. Time passes, and even visitors to the resort village become few, the water continues to flow and the forest continues to stand.
人與獸的角色互換
深圳野生動物園是國內首個放養式動物園。人在籠中坐，猛獸自由行，讓游人大感新奇刺激，并發展成為國內最早集動物園、植物園、科普園為一體的新型園林生態環境風景區。北有連綿青山為屏，南有巨型動物石雕，東有蔥郁的荔枝林，西有澄碧的西麗湖。園內處處皆佳景，景景皆迷人。
Switching Places
Safari Park Shenzhen is the first free-range zoo in the country, where people are in cages and beasts roam freely. It's an exciting experience for the visitors. It's also the first site in China to combine a zoo, a botanical garden, and a science park. In the north there are continuous green mountains, in the south giant rock sculptures of the animals, in the east a lychee tree forest, and in the west the Xili Lake. There are all kinds of wonderful things to see here.
茵特拉根小鎮的穿越
如果沒有錢也沒有閑去歐洲，那么你可以去深圳的茵特拉根小鎮。那里山青水碧、鳥鳴谷幽、云遮霧繞，又有古老的森林小火車、典雅的度假酒店，小鎮的每一個角落都突顯著濃濃的瑞士風情，無處不散發著浪漫優雅。在亞歐這兩個同名小鎮之間穿梭，仿佛是一場時空的穿越。
Interlaken Is Here
If you don't have the time or money to visit Europe, you can visit the Interlaken Village in Shenzhen, where there are mountains, water, birds, and clouds. You can ride the small forest train, stay at the luxurious resort hotel, and feel Swiss culture in every corner of the complex. It really is like travelling through time and space being here.
榕樹壽星見證生命
在深圳這片古老而年輕的土地上生長了數百年的生命令人敬仰。南園村615年的老榕樹是深圳植物中最年長的生命。半天云村的風水林中，最老的楓樹已經超過了400歲。紀伯倫說：“假如一棵樹來寫歷史，那也會像一個民族的歷史?！鄙钲谌藭鴮懮钲诘臍v史，而深圳的樹木沉默地見證著深圳的歷史。
Old Trees
There are some quite impressive trees in the both old and new city of Shenzhen. The oldest of them is a 615-year-old banyan in Nanyuan Village; the oldest maples are more than four centuries old in Bantianyun Village. Writer Kahlil Gibran remarked that trees could write history just in the way that people could. The people of the city write their histories in words, and the trees stand there as quiet testaments to the passage of time.
翠竹之園
竹乃歲寒三友之一，其傲骨臨風的品格深得千百年來文人心。深圳市區內有一處清幽之地——翠竹公園。園內綠煙蔽日，翠玉凝露，竹林景致，沁人心脾，將游人與鬧市的喧囂隔離開來。漫步其間，清風徐來，竹自林立，自有一番風格。難怪清人鄭燮賦詩云：“一節復一節，千枝攢萬葉。我自不開花，免撩蜂與蝶。”
Cuizhu Park
Bamboo, along with the pine and plum, is one of the "three friends of winter". It stands tall and strong against the winds and ravages of time. There is a nice, quiet place in the urban centre-Cuizhu ("green bamboo") Park. Within there are many bamboo trees growing with dense foliage, the sight of which refreshes the onlooker. Deep green leaves filter the sunlight, making for a wonderful scene, and shielding visitors from the noise of the city. Taking a slow walk through the park amidst the tall stalks, one experiences a different feeling. Qing Dynasty poet Zheng Xie wrote a poem about such scenes: "Trunks support branches from which leaves rise. I keep to myself as to not disturb the bees and butterflies."
一腳回到遠古
比人類誕生更遙遠的時間被定格在生物化石之中。深圳古生物博物館坐落于仙湖植物園古化石森林旁，展館外形酷似一塊巨大的巖石城堡，收藏的上千件古生物化石，是遠古時期的歷史見證。整個博物館內部都是仿原始地形地貌，蜻蜓、蜥蜴等化石散落在四周，一腳踏進，恍如瞬間穿越，回到了遠古時代。
Back to the Past
Freeze-frames of time before humanity are recorded in the fossil record. The Shenzhen Museum of Palaeontology is situated next to the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden's petrified forest. It's constructed in the form of a giant stone castle, and displays more than a thousand petrified objects, testaments to the past. The entire museum looks like a primeval landscape, with dragonflies and lizards fossils all about. Walking in, you feel as if you've entered a previous age.
新安古城
新安古城又稱南頭古城，現存古樸雄偉的南門。城內原有縣前街等九條街道，故又俗稱“九街”。南頭建城史最早可溯源至漢元封元年（前110年），古時為珠江口東岸海防要塞、交通貿易重鎮，是深圳之根，也是粵港澳地區歷史源頭，附近為伶仃洋。古城靜處都市中，現代繁華和歷史厚重在此融合。
Xin'an Ancient City
The Xin'an Ancient City is also known as the Nantou Ancient City, and still has its old, ancient south gate. Xianqian Street is one of the nine thoroughfares within; the city used to be known as "Nine Streets" in common parlance. The origins of the site can be traced back to the first year of the Yuanfeng Emperor's reign in the Han Dynasty (110 BC). In ancient times it was an important defensive location, as well as a site for commerce. It can be seen as the root of Shenzhen, as well as the origin of the history of Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. It's situated near the Lingdingyang Estuary. It now rests calmly within the city, a site that combines the modern and ancient, the wild and calm.
三洲田問茶
風云變遷，滄海桑田。三洲田村因1900年爆發“庚子起義”聞名，1958年修建水庫時沉入湖底，現開發為東部華僑城茶溪谷景區。該地群山環繞，氣候獨特，山間茶樹層層疊疊，優質烏龍茶引愛茶人士趨之若鶩。在三洲田，品香茗一盞，迎山林晚風，望碧波萬頃，觀古典茶藝，賞悠揚茶曲，猶如身處世外桃源。
Tea in Sanzhoutian
Time brings great changes to the world. Sanzhoutian became famous in 1900 during the Boxer War, and in 1958 was submerged after the construction of a reservoir. It's now the OCT Tea Valley Scenic Area. Encircled by mountains, it has unique climate. Tea trees grow densely upon the surrounding slopes, and tea enthusiasts scramble for the Oolong tea that grows upon them. This is a wonderful place to have a cup of tea, enjoy the calm night breeze, look out over the lush landscape, and appreciate a tea ceremony, taking in the music, as if you are in paradise.
青青世界
青青世界居于大南山西麓，養在深閨，是一個容易被人忽略和遺忘的生態觀光農場。歌手那英為這里演唱的主題歌讓這里名聲大噪。熱帶雨林植物生機茂盛，侏羅紀公園遇見恐龍在飛奔，蝴蝶谷里萬蝶起舞弄清影，瓜果園讓五谷不分的孩子大長見識。有人在此起航，開啟青春；有人在此回歸，重拾青春。
Evergreen Resort
There is a wonderful site at the lower reaches of Mount Danan that is easily ignored or forgotten; famous singer Na Ying even described it in one of her songs. Rainforest plants grow thickly here, beasts fly, butterflies flutter, fruit gardens give education to children… If you get a chance, you should take a visit to the Evergreen Resort and enjoy a world of green.
歸國華僑的光明之地
1958年，為安置東南亞紛紛歸來的華僑，深圳建立了光明農場。有人回憶，當年拖家帶口的華僑們一踏上這片祖先之地，立刻長跪不起，熱淚漣漣。如今這里被譽為深圳“都市后花園”。農林牧漁諸業興旺，“光明牛奶”和“光明乳鴿”最為聞名；觀光娛樂項目豐富多彩，滑草、蹦極讓青少年大感刺激。
The Guangming Farm
In 1958, the government arranged a location for overseas returnees-the Guangming Farm. People have intense memories of returning to China and arriving here. Now it's been called the "back garden of Shenzhen". Forestry, animal husbandry, farming and fishing both flourish here, and the "Guangming Milk" and "Guangming Pigeons" are both quite famous. There are many entertainment activities here now, as well: one can enjoy both grass skiing and bungee jumping.
壩光遺世獨立
壩光的名字自帶美感，“深圳的九寨溝”等美稱也不及。居于深圳最東端邊界，偏僻讓壩光得以保留純凈；古樹眾多，有處罕見的銀葉樹群，被稱為“中國最古老的銀葉樹群”。甘蔗林，沙灘，海浪，貝殼，簡陋碼頭，客家老屋，壩光遺世而獨立地美。隨著開發建設，壩光的容顏卻也在一點兒一點兒地褪去。
Remains of Baguang
Baguang is renowned as a beautiful site in Shenzhen, comparable with Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan. Situated in the far east of Shenzhen, its remote nature has allowed it to remain pure, with a large number of old trees, and a rare Heritiera littoralis forest which is renowned for being the oldest in China. There are also groves of sugarcane, beaches, waves, shells, a simple quay, and an old Hakka residence. As development progresses, however, this simple countenance is slowly fading.
海山公園
依山而建，布局巧妙，結合中式園林和西式建筑風格，街心花園的容量，營造天人合一的氣場。“天石”拔地而起，挺拔昂揚。建有中國最大的景觀象棋盤，面積達680多平方米，棋子重130斤，如此巨型棋盤棋子，考驗棋手智慧，更考驗體力，只有與天對弈的高人可下此棋?！吧胶簟薄昂?，公園點眼之筆。
Haishan Park
Built next to the mountains, this is a site with a wonderful layout that combines Chinese gardening and Western architecture. It's an excellent getaway within the city centre. Amazing stone structures rise from the ground here. This is also the site of the largest chess set in China, more than 680 square metres in area, with each piece weighing more than 65 kilogrammes-playing this game is not just a test of wits, but also strength. Here mountains call, and the sea answers.
溪谷生態園
溪流穿鑿山石，無盡光陰，在深圳東側園山中切割出嵯峨山峰，打磨出光滑巖石。溯溪而上，兩岸連山，植被茂盛，鳥語花香，泉水歡唱，負氧離子醉人，被稱為“深圳又一處后花園”。徒步健身外，可賞花，摘草莓，玩刺激的CS游戲，吃純正農家菜。假期周末，約三五友人，生態園內自助野炊，更是樂事。
Creek Valley Park
This is a site of craggy peaks on the Mount Yuan on the eastern side of Shenzhen; the rock formations here are a sight to behold. A river flows within, and thick plant coverage is all about. Birds sing and the fragrances of flowers flow throughout the air. The water is clear and the oxygen in the air intoxicates visitors; this is a natural site better than humans could design. Taking a healthy walk through the area, appreciating flowers, picking strawberries, playing airsoft, or eating delicious country food are all activities available here. It's a great place to gather up some friends on a weekend and have a barbecue.
玫瑰海岸
玫瑰遇上大海，浪漫從此無以言表，這里是新婚夫婦的必到之地。廊橋、相思林、同心鎖、情之涯，是為美好愛情、婚禮設計的背景。作為深圳及周邊地區年輕人喜歡去的婚紗攝影地，華南地區最大的婚慶產業基地之一，玫瑰海岸傳遞的是浪漫溫馨。停留在玫瑰花海中的時光雖短，記憶里卻是永恒。
Rose Coast
It's a very romantic scene where rose bushes abut on the ocean, and makes for a wonderful place for couples to visit. A gallery bridge, an acacia forest, a love lock spot, "The End of the World"-this is a site that's designed for weddings, and one of the top spots for young couples to take wedding photos on the outskirts of Shenzhen, as well as one of the major sites for the wedding industry in southern China. The Rose Coast is truly a place of romance. Although one may only spend a short while here, the memories will last for a long time.
西涌情人島
離西涌海灘約1海里，深圳最東的一塊陸地，孤懸于海上。海水蔚藍清澈，沙灘細膩亮白，紅樹林茂密蔥蘢，海鳥蹁躚飛舞，戀人談情說愛的圣地，被奉為“人間天堂”“深圳最后的一塊凈土”。在十里銀灘，年輕人牽手漫步海邊，在海風中山盟海誓，它原本的名字“賴氏洲”已被遺忘，為“情人島”取代。
Lovers' Island
Only one mile away from Xichong Beach lies Shenzhen's most easterly point, standing alone in the sea. Sitting in the clear azure sea with beaches of fine sand, this is a place where mangroves grow and birds soar overhead. It's a popular spot for lovers, and has been called a "paradise", as well as "Shenzhen's best preserved natural site". The long beach is an excellent place for a lovers' stroll, where one can look out at the beautiful ocean. The original name "Laishizhou" is hardly ever used, with everyone now calling the place "Lovers' Island".
馬巒山訪梅
馬巒山不以高峻取勝，而以水秀聞名。龍潭瀑布群為深圳最大，“白練當空掛，銀河落九天”。在馬巒山不僅可觀海，如果運氣好，更可欣賞到海市蜃樓的人間仙境。尤其在那青色依依的樹叢中，盛開著萬株幽幽的梅花，用手輕撫著一束束幽花，感受她“零落成泥碾作塵，只有香如故”的“高風亮節”。
Plums in Maluanshan
Maluanshan, or "Mount Maluan", isn't famous for having high peaks, but rather for having beautiful waters. It has the largest spring waterfall in Shenzhen, which shines majestically with white spray. Here, one not only can view the sea, but, if luck is good, can also see a wonderful mirage. There's a wonderful forest in which plum trees grow, making for an excellent sight when they bloom. It's a wonderful place to get away and enjoy nature.
面朝大海，春暖花開
世界上有兩個“17英里”，一個在美國加州蒙特利半島，一個在深圳大鵬半島。都是山海相擁，都是灘緩浪柔。萬科希望以“我能與這個世界保持的距離”理念吸引渴望山海的都市人，“面朝大海，春暖花開”的居住環境，正滿足了他們回歸自然的幻想和期望，憑欄望海，潮起潮落間大有回看塵世之感。
Facing the Sea
There are two places named "17 Mile" in the world: one is on the Monterey Peninsula in California, and the other is on the Dapeng Peninsula upon which Shenzhen lies. They're both mountainous, and have gentle beaches and soft waves. Vanke has the slogan "We can maintain distance with the world", which it uses to attract city dwellers. "Facing the sea, the flowers of spring bloom" is the feel that it sells, playing to the desire of people to return to nature, and have a separation from that hustle and bustle of everyday city life.
神仙樹
春秋更迭數百載，清風徐來花自開。位于平湖街道鳳凰社區伍氏宗祠旁的雞蛋花古樹，樹干高大，枝葉繁茂，樹齡已500余年，2006年被列入龍崗區古樹保護名錄。古樹與古祠相伴，是伍氏族人的心靈寄托。古樹四季有花，花開時帶有雞蛋香，花瓣曬干沖茶，可醫治頭痛發熱，功效神奇，被居民稱為“神仙樹”。
Mystic Tree
Generations come and go over the course of centuries among humans, but trees remain. The plumeria tree beside the Wu's Ancestral Hall in the Fenghuang Compound on Pinghu Sub-district is over 500 years old. It is tall, strong, and has thick foliage. In 2006 it was entered into the list of ancient trees of the Longgang District. It offsets the ancestral hall, and is a guardian of the spirits of the Wu clan. It blooms year round with great fragrance; its flowers can be sunned to make material for a tisane, which can treat headache and fever. It's known as the "Mystic Tree" by local residents.
