Guangdong (Chinese: 广东) is a province in South China, located on the South China Sea coast. Traditionally romanised as Kwangtung, Guangdong surpassed Henan and Sichuan to become the most populous province in China in January 2005, registering 79.1 million permanent residents and 31 million migrants who lived in the province for at least six months of the year; the total population was 104,303,132 in the 2010 census, accounting for 7.79 percent of Mainland China's population. This also makes it the most populous first-level administrative subdivision of any country outside the former British Raj, as its population is surpassed only by those of the Pakistani province of Punjab and the Indian states of Maharashtra and Uttar Pradesh. The provincial capital Guangzhou and economic hub Shenzhen are among the most populous and important cities in China. The population increase since the census has been modest, the province at 2015 had 108,500,000 people.

This area has magnificent gardens and beautiful sculptures.
Great day at these awesome gardens. Visited both Baomo and Nanyue Gardens for ¥80 (after discount). Outstanding and meticulously detailed building structures, walls, roof tops, arches, pillars and ceilings. The sculptures were expertly crafted, the colours are vibrant and rival elaborate structures found around he world. There are beautiful lakes with absolutely large Koi fish, several fountains, some expertly designed waterfalls through rocks, an awesome boat as the center piece of Baomo Garden and a beautiful waterfall as the main attraction in Nanyue Garden above a well designed and lit up cave with stalagmites and stalactites . Well worth a visit. Kids and seniors pay half price and seniors over 65 are free. Several restaurants and tea garden cafes inside but a bit on the expensive side, but still worth the price with with a decent atmosphere and good service. However, outside the gardens nestled between the two gardens are some cheaper outdoor restaurants. Baomo also has a swimming pool for families with kids, as well as some boat rides. You also get discount coupons for the boat rides. All in all well worth spending a few hours exploring...

Also known as Fairy Lake Botanical Gardens, this massive, verdant escape has lots to offer even if you are not a botanical buff. A popular pastime among locals is to rent a boat and explore the lake.
Beautiful flower gardens, cactus gardens, shade plants, a Buddhist temple. Initially we saw a monument on a high hill and thought that was the temple and decided to climb to it. After about a half hour of climbing in Shenzhen weather, we came to a direction post and decided to go to the lower down places instead. So although we saw the fairy lake, the water plant nursery, the shade plants, cacti, and lots of beautiful flower areas, we missed the paleontology garden and some other cool places. As it was, we left so late that two cab drivers didn't want to take the 34 minute ride to our hotel because they wanted to quit work at 4.

I would suggest you to walk around there in the evening when it is not that hot and humid. You can kill some time there doing window shopping and try out some street food. Good thing that no motor vehicles are allowed in the entire area. You would end up 'QiJiang' River. There are more shops by the river and street performances in summer nights. There is a nice dessert shop along the river area that I liked their "steamed milk egg", "ginger milk", "double layers skin milk". I loved the dessert there.
