Mindful meoweler tips

Visit the Splendid China Folk Village

Meow about the cultural diversity of China at this unique park, featuring miniature replicas of the country's iconic landmarks and traditional lifestyles.

Stay alert while crossing the roads!

Unlike lazy housecats, cars and e-bikes in Shenzhen have little regard for safety. Look both ways, triple-check, and don't be afraid to ask for help if the crossing seems too daunting.

Take a break at the Lianhuashan Park

Stretch those paws and enjoy the tranquil scenery of this hilltop park. Don't miss the stunning panoramic view of the city and the sea!
