Tickets and booking
Two separately ticketed sites sit inside the scenic area: the Nanshan Botanical Garden at 30 RMB (greenhouse not included) and the Yikeshu (One Tree) Observation Deck, also 30 RMB. Both are quoted as flat rates for every day of the year, Monday to Sunday, but the listing flags them as reference only — the official same-day price governs. The pack lists no advance-booking channel and no reservation requirement, so buying on the day is the practical default; verify current purchase options before you go.
Entrance and routes
The listed address is Nanshan Park Road in Nan’an District, pinned at the Big Golden Eagle landmark. The two paid attractions are ticketed separately, so if you want both the botanical garden and the observation deck, plan for two entry points rather than one combined ticket. The pack does not itemise individual gates or internal transport; buses 335, 337 and 384 stop at Nanshan Station, and the scenic area is within walking distance of the stop.
Photo spots
Three named anchor points come out of the pack. The Yikeshu Observation Deck is the area’s purpose-built lookout — the name means ‘One Tree’ — and its 30 RMB ticket covers the viewing platform. The Big Golden Eagle at the Nanshan Park Road address is the other fixed landmark. The Nanshan Botanical Garden supplies the garden and plant scenery, though the greenhouse sits outside its standard ticket. The pack carries no viewpoint rankings or lighting notes, so treat these three as the anchors and scout the rest on foot.
Timing and crowds
Opening hours are listed as all day, every day from January 1 to December 31, with the caveat that actual hours may vary on the ground. The suggested duration is 3 hours or more, so slot this in as a half-day rather than a quick stop. The pack holds no crowd-level or seasonal data, so there is no verified quiet window; the practical hedge is the all-day opening, which leaves room to shift your visit if a slot feels busy.
Walking and effort
The pack gives no trail lengths, elevation figures or difficulty ratings, so effort cannot be quantified from the listing. What it does fix: the bus drop at Nanshan Station leaves the final approach on foot, the two ticketed sites are separate stops on the route, and the suggested visit runs 3 hours or more. The sensible read is sustained walking — wear comfortable shoes and do not try to compress the area into under an hour.
Getting there
Bus is the only option the pack documents: routes 335, 337 or 384 to Nanshan Station, then a walk to the scenic area. No metro connection, taxi guidance or bus fare is listed, so check a live transit app for current fares and connections before setting out. Navigate to Nanshan Park Road, Nan’an District, at the Big Golden Eagle.
Cost breakdown
Entry fees from the pack: Nanshan Botanical Garden 30 RMB (greenhouse excluded) and Yikeshu Observation Deck 30 RMB — 60 RMB total if you do both. The greenhouse has no listed price, so treat it as an unbudgeted extra if you want it. Bus fares for routes 335/337/384 are not in the pack. Every price is flagged as reference only and subject to the official same-day figures.
