The most scenic, longer run in Shenzen. One can run for 10+ km from Hongshuin Nature Preserve, west to Shenzhen Bay Bridge at Wanghai Rd. Great views of Shenzen Bay, Hong Kong Mountains, bridge to Hong Kong. We've mapped segment distances too.
These three fairly large and interconnected parks are your best bet for running in the CBD. Central park is nicely landscaped with a river, Bijiashan has hilly, shaded trails, and Lianhuashan has woods, fields, and a lake.
Pleasant park and small lake in Futian, close to Shenzen's CBD. There are dedicated running lanes in the park, around the water and jutting out onto the water, ~2.0-2.5 miles around. Can combine with Lianhuashan Park.
A decent escape in the otherwise busy Nanshan area. One can put together a ~1.5 km loop of the park. Add by running along the Dashe River on Yanhe Rd., which heads south from Dashahe Park for a few km, two golf clubs.
A worth-it destination if you'd like to get off road and see some green. Several km of running possible, mix of rugged roads, gravel paths, woodland paths, and concrete roads, both flat and hilly. Longgang District, northeastern Shenzen.
