The Lin Ma Hang Country Trail showcases the rich cultural heritage and diverse landscapes of the Robin’s Nest Country Park.

Starting from Lin Ma Hang Village, a Hakka village with over 300 years of history, the village retains its original charm due to its secluded geographical location. As you ascend along the Lin Ma Hang Country Trail, you can overlook the lush green hills, Fung Shui Woods, and remnants of rice terraces, forming a stark contrast with the bustling city on the other side of the border. At the end of the stairs stands a unique green structure, the MacIntosh Fort (Kong Shan). The MacIntosh Forts are a group of seven observation posts built along the Shenzhen river, playing a crucial role in border defense in the old days. Over time, their historical mission has completed. In 2009, they were designated as Grade II historic buildings still standing tall amidst the hills.

Heading towards Robin’s Nest, the uphill journey is shaded by trees with scenes of birds chirping and flowers blooming. Soon you reach the end point of this trail, the Robin’s Nest, where you can enjoy the scenery of mountains and sea. You can also take a closer look to admire the unique landscape of Robin’s Nest, with the southern slope covered by upland grassland, and the secondary woodland on the northern slope connecting to the Shenzhen Wutong Mountain Scenic Area . The Red Azalea and Chinese Grassbird are among the many plant and animal species of high conservation value in Robin’s Nest Country Park and become the logo of this country park.
