🌃Explore the Charm of Gankeng: Savor Hakka Cuisine by Day and Admire the Illuminations of an Urban Ancient Town at Night

Tucked away in the heart of Shenzhen, this 350-year-old Hakka town brims with charm amidst its ancient alleyways and blue-tiled roofs. Enjoy free admission to the main streets. Lantern Alley in Qidu Village 116 is perfect for capturing traditional Chinese style photos, and the Wenchang Pagoda is even more magical when lit up.

Don't miss Ganwei Alley's delicious food: crispy salt-baked chicken with tender skin, rich Hakka stuffed tofu with a rich bean aroma, and freshly made glutinous rice cakes bursting with peanuts. 🌰 For a break, head to "Cat's Sky Castle" and enjoy a lychee tea overlooking the blue-tiled roofs.

Take a nighttime tour to the next level! The "Gankeng Flower Moon Night" light show features flying phoenixes and iron flower displays. The thousand lanterns at the Twenty-Four Histories Academy are breathtakingly beautiful. We recommend arriving in the afternoon for a mix of shopping, photos, and nighttime views – two romantic experiences in one day!
