If you’re exploring Shenzhen, don’t skip Gankeng Hakka Town — it’s a unique blend of old-meets-new with traditional village vibes and seriously good eats 😋✨
Top Spots to Visit:
1. Gankeng Hakka Town (Hakka Town, Gankeng, Buji Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen)
Open all day, year-round — so you can chill and wander at your own pace! Dive into the maze of classical Hakka-style courtyards, check out the iconic archways, and catch locals playing mahjong or sipping tea under shady trees.
2. Culinary Finds — Hakka Food Heaven
Don’t leave without trying the signature Hakka braised pork, stuffed tofu, or rice cakes. The village has loads of homey vendors and little street-side shops serving authentic flavors right on the spot.
Local Tips:
I learned you can truly have it all here: heritage architecture everywhere (perfect for Instagram stories), and a playground for your tastebuds with snacks and meals you won’t find elsewhere. Gankeng Hakka Town’s walkable streets make spontaneous exploring easy — come hungry and ready to snap photos!
Getting Around:
It’s easiest to hop a metro to Buji Station and grab a taxi or local rideshare (just search for "Gankeng Hakka Town" as your destination). Once inside, everything’s walking distance, so comfy shoes are a must.
Quick Tips:
- No entry fee!
- Weather? Spring and autumn are the most pleasant months — lighter crowds, nice breeze.
- Gankeng Hakka Town stays lively until sundown, but come early for quieter streets.
