No less that 42 of the district’s skyscrapers are completely decked out in LEDs. The light show coordinates them all in a single, stunning half hour of kaleidoscopic wonderment, on a citywide scale.

The Shenzhen Light Show has to be seen to be believed. It is best viewed from Lianhuashan Park. There is a large space at the base of the hill the park is on, facing the Shenzhen Civic Center from a distance of about 600 meters.

Shenzhen Light Show Times

The Shenzhen Light Show happens every evening, either two or three times depending on the day. On Fridays, Saturdays and national holidays, there are three shows per evening, at 7pm, 8pm and 9pm. From Sunday to Thursday (except for national holidays) there are two shows per evening, at 7pm and 8pm.

Needless to say, the viewing area gets crowded, so try and get there a little early, or get some arm workouts in beforehand so you can hold your camera aloft for an extended period.
