A NEW sightseeing bus route around the Fairy Lake Botanical Garden has been launched, Shenzhen Evening News reported.

Trial operations started Saturday. The route covers a distance of 8.79 kilometers, stopping at various notable attractions within the garden.

A ticket for this service is priced at 10 yuan (US$1.38), allowing unlimited rides throughout the day.

Due to the garden’s expansive area, there has been increasing demand from tourists in recent years for the addition of bus services within the park.

The bus route starts from both the south and north gates of the garden, passing attractions such as the Herb Garden, the Sightseeing Pavilion, the Mianzhi Book Bar, the Mid-level Pavilion, the Hongfa Temple, the Buddhist Pine Garden, the Bonsai Garden, the Succulent Garden, and the Eleven-arch Bridge.

Service hours are from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., with buses departing every 10 to 30 minutes.

Tickets can be purchased via the WeChat miniprogram “深巴出行.”          (Wang Jingli)
