Ready to see a totally underrated side of Shenzhen? 🌞😎 Here’s how to spend a chill day exploring Gankeng — think ancient vibes, riverside strolls, epic flower views, and a food crawl in the heart of Hakka culture.
Top Spots To Visit:
1. Gankeng River Greenway
地址: 深圳市龙岗区甘坑小镇的北面
Start out with a walk along the greenway, where modern life meets lush scenery and old-school architecture. It’s the perfect spot if you want a peaceful escape without leaving the city.
2. Gankeng Hakka Town
地址: Hakka Town, Gankeng, Buji Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen
开放时间: 全年开放,全天候
Dive into traditional Hakka vibes here! Stroll cobblestone lanes, snap pics of those classic tiled roofs, and go local—try the street eats. Think handmade rice noodles, Hakka stuffed tofu, and sweet fried pastries. 🥟🍡 Your tip: definitely hit up the street food stalls!
3. Blooming Flower Valley (甘坑古镇花海谷)
地址: 深圳市龙岗区沈海高速与清平高速交叉路口往东北约290米
Don't skip this hidden gem—fresh blooms everywhere, great for photo ops whether it’s sunny or moody weather.
Wrap-up Tips:
Local Transport: Metro to Buji Station + a short taxi/ride-hail gets you straight into Gankeng.
Stay Flexible: Flower Valley looks different in each season and even rainy days bring serious atmosphere for photos.
Foodie Alert: Focus lunch or snacks in Hakka Town—go for whatever’s piping hot from the street carts.
Cash is king for small eats! Most places also use WeChat Pay or Alipay.
