Lianhuashan Park (莲花山公园) is a large public park on a low hill in Futian, in the middle of Shenzhen’s civic centre. The climb to the Deng Xiaoping statue at the top is the usual walk: shaded paths, a wide view over the CBD, and, on a breezy weekend, a lot of kites. Entry is free. The nearest metro stations are Children’s Palace (Lines 3 and 4) and Lianhua West (Line 2). An hour or two is enough. It is not a wilderness, and it is one of the most pleasant free things you can do in central Shenzhen.

The walk
Lianhuashan Park (莲花山公园, Liánhuāshān) sits on a low hill immediately north of Shenzhen’s civic centre in Futian: the library, the concert hall and the CBD towers are at your feet once you are up. The standard walk is from a main gate up paved paths to the statue of Deng Xiaoping at the summit, then a slow circle down. On a weekend with a breeze, kites fill the slope. On a weekday morning you will share it with people exercising. It is a city park, well used and well kept, and it costs nothing.
Getting there
Two convenient metro stations:
- Children’s Palace (少年宫) — Lines 3 and 4, on the south-eastern and civic-centre side.
- Lianhua West (莲花西) — Line 2, on the west side.
Follow signs for 莲花山公园. There are several gates; you do not need a particular one. Entry is free. Gate closing hours exist — if you are arriving after dusk, check, and do not plan a midnight walk. A bottle of water is enough kit. In midsummer, earlier or later in the day is kinder; see weather by month.
How it fits a day
Lianhuashan is the right first-afternoon walk if you are staying in Futian: air, a view, and no ticket queue. It pairs with a meal nearby, or with a longer coastal walk at Shenzhen Bay Park on a different day. It is not a substitute for Wutong Mountain, which is a real hike on the city’s eastern edge. If you are travelling with children, this is one of the easier outdoor hours in the centre — see travelling with kids.
よくある質問
How do I get to Lianhuashan Park?
The usual stations are Children’s Palace (Lines 3 and 4), north of the park, and Lianhua West (Line 2), on the west side. Follow signs for 莲花山公园. Several gates exist; any main gate is fine.
Is there a ticket?
No. It is a free public park. A small café or kiosk, if open, charges for what it sells.
How hard is the climb?
It is a city hill, on paved and stepped paths, not a mountain. Most visitors reach the statue without difficulty. In summer, go early or late; there is shade, but the humidity is real. See our weather page.
Is it good with children?
Yes — space to run, kites on a windy day, and a clear goal at the top. A full pushchair climb may be easier on the broader paths. See our travelling-with-kids guide.
