SHENZHENERS are very lucky indeed. After a busy day’s work we can embrace nature or visit some of the many tourist attractions in Shenzhen. Traveling in Yantian, the district in the east of the city, is particularly fun.

　　A tour of Yantian can be divided into five categories.

　　Wutong Mountain, which is in the south of Yantian District at an elevation of 943.7 meters, features waterfalls, interesting rock formations, trees, and green grass.

　　In the midst of the mountain, you can breathe fresh air, enjoy the green scenery and completely relax in the great outdoors.

　　A little way up the mountain you will find a stream trickling down the rock face. The sound of running water mixed with birdsong makes this area extremely tranquil.

　　If you follow the stream you’ll soon come upon some beautiful waterfalls, which feed into the so-called Dragon Pool. The water in the pond is very clear and the area is surrounded by trees and grass.

　　The mountain is particularly beautiful when it’s cloudy or misty outside. In the mist, the mountain takes on an ephemeral beauty that is irresistable.

　　Minsk Aircraft Carrier World, situated on a 273-meter-long former Soviet Union aircraft carrier, has become a popular park with “war and peace” as the theme.

　　Renovated and equipped with the weaponry, a command system, torpedo bays and a living area for soldiers and officials, Minsk Aircraft Carrier World provides various kinds of military-related activities to tourists.

　　Visitors can operate cannons, anti-aircraft machine guns. All these activities are not only exciting and attractive to the local tourists, but also to foreigners living and working in Shenzhen. The theme park also offers daily performances by Russian singers and dancers.

　　Since the Minsk park is at Shatoujiao seashore, it is very convenient for tourists to visit.

　　The Gold and Jewel Building, located in Shatoujiao, is a popular stop for tourists.

　　With an area of 42,000 square meters, the jewelry market is able to offer customers a wide range of services. You can buy, trade, and learn how to make jewelry. You can also have your jewelry repaired or appraised by a professional.

　　Tourists and customers are supposed to be able to find any kind of jewelry here.

　　Close to the Yantian Port, there is a famous seafood street. Dozens of restaurants line the street, making it an excellent place to sample various kinds and styles of seafood.

　　The largest seafood market in the city is just 30 meters away, so the restaurants are able to offer delicious dishes like fish, lobster, sea cucumber and conches.

　　Sanzhoutian is a favorite destination for nature enthusiasts.

　　Apart from the mountains, a couple of reservoirs, streams and rocks, the outstanding points of this tourist place are the tea-planting base and the historical site of the Sanzhoutian Uprising led by Dr. Sun Yat-sen.
