Friends! Who understands this😭 I was so amazed in Shenzhen Gankeng Ancient Town that I was speechless!!!✨ Every casual shot looks like stepping into a Jiangnan ink painting. Today I must strongly recommend it to you👇
🌆【Immersive Ancient Style Experience】
Blue tiles and white walls, small bridges and flowing water, walking on stone slabs in Hanfu feels like traveling back a thousand years~ During the day, there is an intangible cultural heritage handmade market, and at night, the lanterns light up creating a full atmosphere🏮! Highly recommend renting a Hanfu to shoot night scenes, 100% photo-worthy!
🍜【Ancient Town Delicacies】
✔️ Hakka Stuffed Tofu: crispy on the outside, tender inside, and juicy when bitten!
✔️ Ai Ban (mugwort rice cake): fresh mugwort aroma + chewy glutinous rice, guilt-free even during dieting!
✔️ Bamboo Tube Milk Tea: super photogenic! Perfect for photos📸
👉🏻 Secret tip! The kiln chicken at "Old Stove" in the alley is amazing! The chicken is tender to the point of falling off the bone, remember to book in advance!
🏡【Accommodation Recommendations】
✅ Xiaoliangmao Home Hotel: super cute parent-child themed rooms! A must-stay with kids~
✅ Nanxianglou Art Hotel: quaint courtyard design, open the window to see small bridges and flowing water, a truly poetic residence!
💡【Practical Tips】
▫️ Direct access via Metro Line 10, very convenient
▫️ Recommended to go after 3 PM to avoid crowds and capture dusk + night scenes
▫️ Every Friday to Sunday night, there is the "Xiaoliangmao Magic Show," a must-see with kids!
Weekend friends wanting to escape the city's hustle, rush here! Relax, take photos, enjoy delicious food, and feel completely healed🥰~
