Popular Art Village in China

So in the suburbs of Shenzhen there is this little village. The village is so widely popular … but hardly anyone talks about it.
This is Shenzhen’s hidden gem.

#discoverchina | Dafen Oil Painting Village

This village is in Longgang district. A short walk from the metro — it’s nestled in behind theOMG mall. Enter in at Gate 6 and be taken into a world of colour, line and shape!

Plan about 2 hours to explore this painting utopia. You will be so hungry to create after. Visit the Ya Zang gallery to see impressive traditional Chinese ink paintings.
