Nantou Ancient City ~ "Ancient Xin'an, today's Shenzhen and Hong Kong; one step to the nine streets of a thousand years of splendor"

Also known as "Xin'an Ancient City", it is located on the east bank of the Pearl River estuary. It is the seat of Xin'an County, the predecessor of Shenzhen City. Its jurisdiction once included Hong Kong, reflecting that since the administrative system of Lingnan was established, Shenzhen and Hong Kong have belonged to the same administrative region. Today, the ancient city is combined with many delicious foods and a leisurely place for young people~

📕Historical changes:
It was first built during the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and "Xin'an County" was established during the Ming Dynasty. The jurisdiction of Xin'an County covers Shenzhen and Hong Kong🇭🇰 until the outbreak of the First Opium War, when Hong Kong and Shenzhen were forced to separate. In 1856, the Second Opium War broke out again. The scholars of Xin'an County secretly sneaked into the Kowloon area to organize a series of anti-British activities. The process was long and difficult!

✨Ancient monuments check-in spot:
~ South Gate~
Before entering Nantou Ancient City, you must pass through this gate. The current gate has been restored. It was originally the only way for Shenzhen to travel to the mainland. The building is mainly made of wood and blue bricks. Now it is not only a historical monument, but also a popular photo spot. Especially when the golden afterglow of the setting sun is cast, it is really beautiful!

~Xin'an County Yamen~
During the First Opium War, Xin'an County Yamen was used as the battle command center at that time. The overall layout was to sit north and face south, with civil officials on the left and military officials on the right, with the hall in front and the house in the back, and the prison in the southwest. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : 🆓
