Summer is the perfect season to call up a friend and head outdoors for a BBQ and picnic. No tools? No problem. Buy them from your local supermarket or rent right from local BBQ sites. You can buy meal ingredients at the sites too, but to ensure sanitation and freshness, it’s best to bring your own. Last but not least, don’t forget to grab a blanket, paper products, and a rubbish bag to clean up with afterwards.

Of course, finding the right place to enjoy your outdoor fun is just as important as what you bring there. Here are our top picks for BBQ areas in Shenzhen. Hurry, grab your picnic basket and head out!
