Start your day by stepping back in time at Gankeng Hakka Ancient Town 🏰. Despite its location in the tech-savvy city of Shenzhen, it still retains a fascinating glimpse of traditional Hakka architecture. Stroll through the tranquil and lush Chinese atmosphere for a truly culturally enriching start! After a satisfying stroll, it's time to recharge with a delicious lunch of authentic Cantonese cuisine. Stop by a nearby dim sum restaurant 🥟🥢 for har gow (shumai), dumplings, and crispy fried snacks, all accompanied by a cup of tea. Then, in the afternoon, we'll explore cutting-edge design and fascinating exhibitions at the Shenzhen Contemporary Art and Planning Museum (MOCAPE) 🎨. With its futuristic exterior, the museum showcases contemporary art and a fascinating urban development plan, showcasing the city's rapid evolution. In the evening, we'll end our day at Oh Bay (欢乐港湾) 🎡, a popular bayside retreat. Filled with vibrant lights and life, our destination is to ride the Bay Glory Ferris Wheel, also known as the "Eye of Shenzhen," for a 360-degree panoramic view of the city illuminated at night. It's the most romantic and memorable sight of our Shenzhen trip. Then, we headed back down for a delicious dinner 🍽️ to cap off a day of Shenzhen's rich history, art, and modernity! 🎉
