I went to check out the trendy Upside Down Play Museum and unexpectedly discovered this hidden gem, the beautiful Gankeng Hakka Town! ✨ It's way more interesting than I imagined~
🏯 Overall Impression:
The whole town has an amazing vibe! Everywhere you look, there are ancient-style buildings 🏡, and even the restaurants and shops feature traditional decor, perfectly preserving Hakka cultural charm~ The alleys are filled with lanterns and decorations 🌕. I heard it looks unbelievably beautiful when the lights come on at night 📸 (definitely coming back at night next time!)
🍜 Food Recommendations:
The town offers plenty of authentic Hakka snacks and restaurants 🥢
- Hakka stuffed tofu
- Salt-baked chicken
- Clay stove chicken
Prices are very affordable 👍
But a heads-up ⚠️: the restrooms here are mostly old-style squat toilets, so be prepared if that’s a concern~
💡 Tips:
1. Recommend visiting around 4-5 PM to enjoy both daytime and nighttime beauty
2. Don’t miss taking photos in the alley with red lanterns
3. Wearing traditional Hanfu clothes is best for capturing stunning shots!
📍 Address: Gankeng Hakka Town, Longgang District, Shenzhen
🕒 Opening Hours: Open all day (evening visits recommended)
