Editor's note
As the official construction of the Nanshan District Chaguang-Tanglang Mountain Hiking Trail Demonstration Section marks the full completion of Shenzhen's first mountain and sea corridor - Tanglang Mountain and sea corridor - Dashahe-Shenzhen Bay Mountain and Sea Corridor.
This is the first project to be implemented after the "Shenzhen Park City Construction Master Plan and Three-Year Action Plan (2022-2024)" was reviewed and approved by the Municipal Urban Planning Commission. With the completion of this 13-kilometer-long route, a beautiful picture of Shenzhen and the mountains and seas that can be seen and sensible are officially integrated into the daily life of Shenzhen people. Citizens can enjoy the fun of the interweaving and integration of mountains, rivers, seas and cities in the central urban area of Shenzhen.
For ordinary citizens, what are the exciting highlights of this mountain and sea corridor, and what potential "Internet celebrity check-in points" are there? Recently, the Shenzhen Evening Reporting Group summarized a walking guide through on-site interviews and will be serialized in three days from today.
This interview was helped by many professionals in the fields of wildlife protection and nature education in Shenzhen, and I would like to thank you here.
Tanglang Mountain: Walk through the evolutionary tree of Biodiversity
This is an important part of the vertical line of 260 kilometers of hiking trails running through Shenzhen east-west 260 kilometers. It is a model of the construction of the "one ridge, one belt, twenty corridors" mountain and sea city space planning.
This is Tanglang Mountain-Dasha River-Shenzhen Bay Mountain and Sea Corridor.
Recently, the Shenzhen Evening Interview Team met with wildlife protection and nature education experts Liu Lei and Ye Jianhua at the Dragon Ball Gate in Tanglang Mountain to start this journey of exploring mountains and seas.

Dragon Ball Gate - Tea Light Entrance and Exit: The artificial landscape gradually goes too far to the natural landscape
After going up the mountain from the Dragon Ball Gate, a crisp and loud "calling early" sound came from the reporter's ears. The reporter looked up and found that a group of birds with dark spots on their faces and light gray were "working hard" on the iron holly trees. Teacher Ye told reporters that this is black-faced noise , and it is named after it likes to whine and has a dark spot on its cheeks. The iron holly trees bear clusters of small red fruits, which is a food that birds particularly like.
Walk to an altitude of 100 meters, and the plants on both sides of the mountain road are already very rich. "Look, this is kidney fern , also called 'Stone Yellow Skin'. It has a kidney-like ball at its root, which has the function of nutrient storage, is rich in water, and has the effect of quenching thirst." Teacher Liu introduced.

. Two experts told reporters that there are two types of national first-class protected plants in Shenzhen, among which the hometown of Xianhu Cycad is Tanglang Mountain. The reason why it is named Xianhu Cycad is because it was discovered and named by plant experts in Xianhu, but the only wild Xianhu Cycad population in Shenzhen is still in Tanglang Mountain. The mountain is not high, but it is famous if there is an immortal. No wonder Tanglang Mountain enjoys a unique "jianghu status" among Shenzhen plant enthusiasts.
On the stone platform on the mountain roadside, the reporter found a "snail" with a strange appearance. Its body slowly wriggles on the stone surface. Compared with the ordinary snail shell, its shell seems to be cut off and covered the body. "This is a semi-slug, an interesting species between snails and slugs," said Teacher Liu.

Didn't go far, a tall pore cone appeared in front of the reporter - this is a relatively rare local wild tree species in Shenzhen. When you reach an altitude of 200 meters, native plants such as rag leaves, bauble tree , five-section urn , pushu gradually appeared. Most of the slopes are vigorously grown ferns, including Fu's phoenix tail fern and South China hair fern. The leaves of the Fu Fengtailen Fern are like feathers, with pointed tails, which are very ornamental. The leaves of the South China Feather Feather have a furry touch.There is also Goose Palm Firewood, which Guangdong people call "Duck Foot Wood". It is also a native plant on Tanglang Mountain. It is named after the edges of the leaves are like webs on duck feet. The commonly known as the beautiful Lantana is " Five Color Plum ". A Lantana is composed of many small flowers, with pink petals surrounding a cluster of bright yellow petals in the middle, which is the "restaurant" of butterflies and bees. On both sides of the road, the one with three leaves on a branch is Sanya bitter; the one with leaf wings and the fruit will grow a layer of salt cream after ripening is Salt-skin wood ; there is also a kind of gardening flower, the branches grow from the ground and are covered with slender red stripes. According to Teacher Liu, this is the Jimkok Chonglou, which is an artificial "domestic" flower, which can be eaten by Sunbird . In addition, there are also various plants such as oil tea , South American chrysanthemum, ginger ginger, earth honey tree, sea sand , water ball flower, thick leaf banyan , white back leaf , vine nine sections , fake bean and other plants growing here. Under the guidance of experts, the reporters were enthusiastically learning how to identify them.

Suddenly, an fork-tailed sun bird flew over the treetops, attracting everyone's attention. The fork-tailed Sunbird is petite but cool in appearance. It has an ochre-red neck, light green wings, and a head and tail that shines like metal as royal blue. But the most special thing is its two forked, slender and sharp tail feathers; then, several bright translucent sounds sounded on people's heads. The reporter looked up and found a bird that was also slender and covered with a pale yellowish green all over the body flying around among the branches and leaves. "This is dark green embroidered bird ." said Teacher Liu. The reporter observed carefully and found that it had indeed a snow-white circle of eyes, like exquisite embroidery.
Tea Light Entrance and Exit-Honghualing: Carefully observe and harvest natural wildness
After walking along the winding mountain road for 3200 meters, we arrived at the Tea Light Entrance and Exit. From the entrance and exit of Chaguang to the west is a 3,180-meter-long Shenzhen demonstration hiking trail, which is the road from Tanglang Mountain to Zijian Garden.

Starting from here, the interview team walked into the real mountain path. Since it had just rained, the mountain road was very muddy, so you need to be very careful when walking. But in the humid forest, the air is very fresh. Along the way through the lychee forest, there are beautiful flowers and purple jade plates, simple and fragrant wood lotus, mountain black slut , cat tail grass , chicken pepper, mountain caper vine , banyan and other plants. Among them, many lilac leaves grow on the branches of cattail grass, with short and soft fluff growing on the leaves, which looks very beautiful. The leaves grow to the top of the branches of the cattail grass and gradually become tiny, forming a furry "sharp tail" at the top of the cattail grass.
On this road, the interview team met a father and son by chance. They also came here to "try out" after learning that the Shanhai Corridor was officially opened. My father is a foreigner and only speaks English. His 9-year-old son is fluent in Chinese and English. He checks in according to the map and is full of interest. They always call Nature, like Wilds, and often hiking Summit in Shenzhen... After communicating with them, the reporter learned that his son's name is D.J. He climbs mountains every day during holidays and can accurately identify many wild plants.
Continue walking forward and arrive at a flat mountain, which is the "Guilt Wild" section of this hiking trail. There is no place on both sides of the road that can block the sun, but if you carefully observe the plants and trees around you, you can find various insects hidden in the bushes and on the branches and leaves. The interview team found a green Chinese sword mantis on this road, which was almost integrated with the grass leaves. If you didn’t pay special attention, it would be difficult to see. With this experience, the interview team observed more carefully, and soon found another Chinese Blade Mantis , which was light yellow-brown all over and played the role of "dead branches and leaves" in the grass. "Looking at the mantis on Tanglang Mountain, we are worth our trip!" Teacher Liu joked.On a branch not far away, a dragonfly flapped its wings. The thin and transparent, vibrating golden brown wings and golden back shone in the sun, which was quite shocking. Teacher Liu told reporters that this is a female Xiaohuanglong .

On this road, you can also see small eyebrows butterflies with eye-like black spots on gray wings, black-tailed gray dragonflies, hook-shaped hook-winged butterflies with hook-shaped wings at the tips of the wings, erectile squid bugs , wart locusts, Dornese blackhoppers and other insects. It is particularly important to note that there are some small soil buns that are slightly raised along the grass. Visitors should be more careful when they see it - that is the red fire ant nest. The interview team found that most of the red fire ant nests were equipped with small flags to remind people to prevent, but experts still reminded everyone not to provoke these invasive species and take personal protection.
Passing through this flat ground, you will enter the dense lychee forest of Honghualing. Interestingly, the interview team found an exquisite stone dragon (a kind of lizard) introduction card on a stone on the roadside. Just as everyone stopped to read, they suddenly found a stone dragon lying quietly next to the sign to "speak". "It's basking in the sun." Teacher Ye lowered his voice and told everyone. It turns out that Shilongzi is also called "the hermit under the fallen leaves layer", and likes to move around damp cracks or fallen leaves piles. It has a very high alertness. Once it feels the movement around it, it will quickly escape and will even cut off its tail to survive if necessary. Subsequently, the interview team discovered four stone dragons on this road, which shows that this area is their favorite habitat.

Although Honghualing is just a hill, its good vegetation and natural habitat still attract many wild animals and plants that are rare in the urban area. From time to time, the chirping of birds of prey, such as black kilns, came from in the sky, proving that this area is their main "hunting ground". In the dense forest, if you pay attention to observation, you can see the large spider unique to in South China - the Spotted Bride.

"Tanglang Mountain is like a vivid evolutionary tree, from gymnosperms represented by Xianhu Cycad to primate high-level mammals represented by macaque , which fully proves the rules of biological evolution of : from aquatic to terrestrial, from low to high, from simple to complex." After descending from Honghualing, Teacher Ye concluded.
is Dashahe Park in front of
. What kind of excitement is waiting for us to discover?
Expert comments
Mountains and seas in the central area of the city are
Mountains and sea corridors, with a total length of about 13 kilometers. Starting from Tanglang Mountain, passing through Honghualing, leaving Zijian Garden, flowing down the Dasha River, and directly to Shenzhen Bay .
On this ecological corridor , the first thing we pass through is a mountain with granite as the main body: Wangtianluo-Tanglang Peak-Honghualing.
Low hilly areas from east to west, a typical southern subtropical monsoon climate environment, a three-dimensional plant community composed of secondary forests, shrubs, and plantations, has nurtured the rich biological resources here.
There are more than 600 species of wild vascular plants . The guide sign along the way will remind us to pay attention to the appearance of animals such as macaques, leopard cats , wild boars, pythons, etc. The birds and insects in the forest will slow you down. After nightfall, this will be a world you will not expect.
Walking on Tanglang Mountain is like walking through the evolutionary tree of biodiversity.
The forest of Tanglang Mountain constitutes the lungs of the central urban area of Shenzhen, and the abundant water creates the kidneys of the central urban area. The five small rivers flowing down the valley: Jishangu, Tiger Rock River, Qingquan Canal, Tanglang River, and Longjing River, are rare natural runoffs in the central urban area, and they all end up in the Dasha River.
Longjing River is composed of two branches on the left and right. At the source of the river, under the lush forest is the paradise of Xianhu Cycads, Black Farms and Golden Retrievers; in the gentleness, it is the habitat of dragonflies and fireflies; in the shallow lakes, deep ponds, a large number of aquatic organisms are thriving; in the ups and downs, it is a waterfall with mist splashing.
The valley flowing quietly in the Tanglang River, the quiet habitat breeds dense ferns on the river bank, a clear and pollution-free aquatic environment, and breeds the population of national second-level protected plant water ferns.
Qingquan Canal is a treasure land of Feng Shui for local villagers. Here, trees are flourishing, the valleys are winding, white-flowered clematis, yellow-flowered Hong Kong Impatiens, and flowers are clustered like 黄花文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文文
Tiger Rock River, named after the legend that there are South China Tiger , is the distribution site of the largest population of wild fairy lake cycads; in the gentle river valley, a series of people's livelihood projects are under construction, and this will be a harmonious community with clear river banks, green mountains and beautiful waters, and a sound of books.
The ravine is converged by three tributaries, flowers are in full bloom by the river, pine and cypress are evergreen, and the mountains and rivers are sound. The 7 martyrs of the Dongjiang Column who are sleeping under the Changyuan Revolutionary Martyrs Monument witness their lives pursuing and protecting the beautiful new era.
Five tributaries cluster the pulse of life, carry the breath of the country, and carry the fragrance of the four seasons. They merge into the Dasha River in different ways, flow into Shenzhen Bay, enter the Lingdingyang, and integrate into the South China Sea and the Pacific Ocean.

. Walk 1,000 meters north to the entrance of tea, you can reach the Jimu Pavilion of Tanglang Mountain. In the middle, you can pass by Guanliting, Taoranting, , Daguan Pavilion, Fengcui Pavilion, and a hundred-foot ladder. Among them, macaques often appear in Liting and Taoranting. Because wild macaques are aggressive, tourists should keep a certain distance from macaques. Jim Pavilion is located at the highest point of the mountain top, with Hong Kong from afar and Shenzhen from afar, and you can see the beautiful scenery of Shenzhen's mountains and seas.
Walk west from the tea light entrance and exit and enter the 3180-meter-long Shenzhen demonstration hiking trail. If you walk along the hand-made trail within 50 meters, you will pass through a 400-meter-long steep mountain road. In order to prevent citizens from slipping here, safety ropes are installed. After traveling through a lychee forest, the first information sign will appear. Continue walking along the lychee forest towards the direction of tea light, and you will pass by a single-plank bridge about 2 meters long. Walking another 300 meters, a second information sign will appear. At this time, a fork will appear. Walking south for 1,300 meters and taking 40 minutes, you will arrive at Xinwu Village and Tanglangshan Natural Education Center. There are still 2,250 meters away from the Tea Light entrance and exit. reporter's feelings: This 1,000-meter mountain road has a steep road, easy to fall on rainy days, and there are many mosquitoes. The vegetation on both sides of the mountain road is lush.
Walked another 1200 meters along the direction of tea light and saw the third information sign. 30 meters away is the Honghualing (north and south) viewing point. During this 1,200-meter journey, I first passed through the flat mountain, and there was no place on both sides of the road that could block the sun. But this small segment is the habitat of animals and plants such as black kite, snake eagle , mimosa , red-eared bulb , and black-cornered toad.

After passing through the flat ground, it will enter the dense forest. There are stone curbs and cranes in the woods, and there are animals and plants such as stone dragons, mountain oil oranges , etc.
After coming out of the forest, it will pass through a lychee forest. When walking 460 meters down the mountain road, a fourth information sign appeared, indicating that there were 520 meters left from the entrance of Tea Light. When you reach the entrance and exit of Chaguang Zijian Garden, there will be a large banana forest. Therefore, the official divided this demonstration hiking trail into three sections: "Lylin banana shadow", "Wild fun in the valley" and "Exploring the Twilight in the dense forest".
has completed a total of 18,000 steps after walking the Shanhai Tonglangtanglang section. Reporter's feelings: There are no trash cans or water supply points throughout the journey from the Tea Guang entrance and exit to the Honghualing down the mountain. Citizens need to prepare enough water when walking and consciously take the garbage down the mountain.
