Talent Park is one of the calmer places in Shenzhen: lakes, waterfront paths, skyline views and some of the city's best sunset spots, all on one easy walk. There's no rushing between sights. It's mostly walking, looking and taking photos, with the park on one side of the water and the towers on the other.

Shenzhen Night Skyline Walk at Talent Park

One thing worth knowing

Come around sunset if you can. Talent Park is nice in the daytime, but it is better when the skyline lights up, the towers reflect in the lake, and day turns into night.
