Stroll through the mangroves at Hongshulin
 
     Considering the fact that China has less than 1 percent of itsoriginal mangrove population left, a quick stroll through Hongshulin isprobably worth it. Squashed between the Binhai highway and the ShenzhenBay, Hongshulin is one of the few protected environments in the regionand features some of the only mangroves China has to offer.
Honestly, the mangroves themselves are not a whole lot to see, butthey are home to some local wild birds, including egrets and cranes.And for those of you who have spent any time traveling in China, youknow that wild animals are hard to come across.
In addition to a nice coast-side path, Hongshulin also offers mostof the typical enjoyable attributes of other Chinese parklife – tandembicycles for rent, a few streetfood snacks, kites, children playing,and so on.
