As spring arrives in Shenzhen, the Futian Civic Center has been transformed into a dazzling sea of gold. Over 3,000 square meters of sunflowers, planted and tended by dedicated Shenzhen volunteers, are now in full bloom, drawing thousands of visitors each day.
From careful soil preparation and sowing to fertilizing and daily upkeep, these fields showcase the city's community spirit. With peak bloom lasting into late May, it's the perfect time for photographers, nature lovers and digital nomads to soak in the vibrant hues.
After wandering among the towering stalks, visitors can explore nearby attractions like Lianhua Mountain for panoramic views, dive into history at Shenzhen Museum, or enjoy a concert at Shenzhen Concert Hall—all just steps away from the sunlit blooms.
Whether you're mapping out your next Instagram post or simply craving a moment of calm, the sunflower fields at Shenzhen Civic Center offer a golden escape in the heart of the Chinese mainland's tech hub.
