Shenzhen's "Monet Garden" in full bloom: Free entry, no booking needed

Qianhai Stone Park has become Shenzhen's latest floral sensation, with multicolored roses blooming beautifully across its grounds. Dubbed the "Monet Garden" of Shenzhen, the park offers visitors a picturesque escape, especially as the flowers take on a special glow during sunset.

The rose displays a rich variety of colors—pink, white, yellow, purple, and orange—creating a vibrant scene perfect for photography. Visitors are encouraged to capture the blooms against the backdrop of Qianhai Stone Park's famous sunset, which adds a breathtaking dimension to the floral landscape.

While the rose area is not very large, the park itself offers much more to see and explore. From different flower varieties to scenic views, it's an ideal spot for a weekend afternoon outing. Authorities remind the public not to pick or step on the flowers, helping to preserve the beauty for all to enjoy.

For those interested in other floral events, the Bougainvillea flower week is still ongoing, offering another colorful destination this weekend.
