Shenzhen Rose Town: Filming location of Stephen Chow's "The New King of Comedy".

Address: No. 12, Buxin Road, Dapeng Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen
🎫Tickets: RMB60. ⚠Tips!! It's more cost-effective to book online at least 2 hours in advance. I bought mine for RMB30 at the time.
This place was formerly an abandoned industrial area. With the basic layout remaining unchanged, it has been transformed into a scenic spot integrating sightseeing, commercial photography, and wedding centers.

It is divided into two parts: a characteristic building complex and a flower sea garden area. The building complex is further divided into European, Chinese, and Korean styles. Among them, the European-style buildings are the most eye-catching. They are quite impressive to photograph, and you'll feel like you've been transported to Europe in an instant.
As this is a photography venue, it is not open all year round like ordinary scenic spots, but only on weekdays. It is recommended to enter at 9:00 AM when it opens. Generally, you can enter before 5:00 PM. During special periods with high visitor traffic, individual visitors may be restricted to entering before 12:00 PM. Moreover, the later you go, the more people there will be. After 2:00 PM, you will basically have to queue for everything you want to photograph. More importantly, there will be a lot of people behind you in your photos.
Another thing to note is that professional photography equipment, such as single-lens reflex cameras, is not allowed inside. Otherwise, it will be considered commercial photography, and you will be charged several hundred yuan per hour. You also cannot change clothes inside, as this will also be considered commercial photography. I brought a compact camera, which was fine.

At that time, it was only June and not yet the height of summer, but Shenzhen was already sweltering. In the summer, all the places in the town that are exposed to the sun are very hot and sunny. Sunscreen is definitely the first step, and you should also replenish water in a timely manner to avoid heatstroke.
