Wang Haolan Holly_cn@163.com THE Hilton Shenzhen Shekou Nanhai is an ideal place for summer getaways, thanks to the coastal view of Shenzhen Bay, the spacious lawns dotted with plumeria trees, and the Instagramable architectural structures of the Nanhai Wing. Put your sunhats and masks on, save a timeslot when the sun is not burning, and let hours of time elapse idly by on the picnic mat on the bay front property. By purchasing the Hilton Picnic package offered by the hotel, one can picnic at the hotel’s s-shaped and seaside lawns for four hours on checkered picnic mats decorated with balloons, straw hats and small canvas tents. Each mat is served with a picnic basket presenting a special menu, which contains three kinds of breads, fruits, cheese served with nuts, diet salads, tuna sandwiches, apple pies, handmade juice and so — both good to eat and good for photo ops. Picnickers can also enjoy 20 percent off of room prices at the hotel if their budget is flexible enough for an overnight stay.
