CHINA 5A TRAVEL
Treat Mission Hills as a resort of zones, not a single sight — pick two or three a day and let the free shuttle stitch them together. These notes blend official guidance with fellow travellers' experience.

What to See
The Championship Courses
Nicklaus-to-Norman layouts thread the hills on both sides of the city line — first-timers favour the World Cup Course, whose 'Devil's 7th' has ranked among the world's 500 best holes.
Shenzhen Clubhouse & Spring Hill Spa
The 300,000 sq ft first clubhouse overlooking the World Cup and Els courses — sauna, steam and jacuzzi below a full Chinese-Western treatment menu.
Eco Sports Park
Ferris wheel, pirate ship, go-karts, archery, rope courses and a 3,000-seat tennis centre — plus a kids' castle, mini zoo and lakeside BBQ.
Ocean World & Karoo Ice & Snow World
The indoor pair inside the eco park — a 60 m underwater tunnel, then a genuine ski slope with magic-carpet lift at -3 to -5 °C.
MH Maker
Eight themed craft spaces — glass-blowing, indigo dyeing, pottery, movable-type printing, leather and woodwork among 300+ courses.
MH Mall & Centreville
The 300,000 m² H.O.P.S.C.A. complex: cinema, bowling, Shenzhen's largest ice rink and a trampoline park, with newer draws in a pickleball centre and touring exhibitions.

Salt-Baked Chicken
盐焗鸡 — Hakka salt-baked chicken, the signature dish of Longhua's villages.
Resort Buffets & MH Mall
Hotel buffets come with live evening music, while the mall's restaurant row gives happy variety next door.
