Nanshan is located in the southwestern part of the city. Although not a typical tourist destination, locals head up this hill in droves to enjoy a good hiking work-out and a great view of the city. The ascent from the Sea World metro stop is a bit easier and the views get better as you head up.

Interesting district, like a city of its own. Shenzhen feels very modern and westernized. It was very foggy and grey when I was there some years ago, would love to see some of these blue skies during my visit.
