Meilin Reservoir walk

HIKING IN SHENZHEN

There is no shortage of green-ways in Shenzhen, from walks to biking and more.  Meilin has long been a popular hiking destination due to its low altitude and easy level, and the fact it connects to Tanglang is a big bonus.  Meilin also has a great reservoir that is great for a pleasant walk.  It is very picturesque and is full of casual local walkers, and on weekends lots of families too.  The path is long but very easy and well paved with very little incline.  It leads all the way to Xili from Futian. You can do the whole thing or just do a loop on yourself the choice is yours.  There is also the option to connect up to Tanglang mountain

After you enter the reservoir head up a path

At the end you have option to turn left or right.  Turn left to connect to the stairs and to Tanglang.
