The most expensive ancestral hall in Shenzhen@Zheng’s Ancestral Hall

#ShenzhenAttractions

If location is also a factor in historical monuments, then the Zheng Ancestral Hall must be the most "expensive" historic site in Shenzhen!

The Zheng Ancestral Hall is located in Dachong 1st Road, Dachong Village, Yuehai Street, the most expensive area in Shenzhen. It was built in the Ming Dynasty and has a history of more than 700 years. It has been well preserved after successive expansions and repairs.

Stepping into the ancestral hall, time slows down. Different from the cookie-cutter high-rise buildings in the CBD, Zheng's Ancestral Hall shows a Cantonese-style architectural style with Lingnan characteristics. The front door opens to a carved screen and a wooden school platform. When you look up, you can see the brick, wood and stone frame of the fish spine and the detailed carvings of the pavilion. The craftsmanship of the craftsmen is amazing.

Precisely because Zheng's Ancestral Hall is located in a high-tech area with the fastest pace in Shenzhen and surrounded by high-tech buildings, it further proves that Shenzhen, a modern city, respects history and culture. The Zheng family was one of the first immigrants to settle in Shenzhen and has a long history. Their family has produced many talented people, and their descendants are now spread across the Pearl River Delta, Hong Kong and Macao. This Zheng's ancestral hall is a testimony to the history of their family.

Detailed address: No. 9, Dachong 1st Road, Dachong Village, Shenzhen (near Hi-Tech Park Metro Station)
