Discovered a newly opened super atmospheric Chinese mountain forest courtyard in Shenzhen! Not only can you have team-building dinners 🍢 but also enjoy a beautiful afternoon tea 🥮. Every casual shot looks like a classical Chinese style masterpiece! Wearing Hanfu here is just perfect 📸
✨Highlights:
1️⃣ The second floor of Shiji Pavilion has been renovated with many more seats.
After playing, you can sit here to drink tea and enjoy the scenery 🍵
(It’s busier than before, so you’ll need to find the right angle for photos)
2️⃣ Free and casual stroll around Gankeng Ancient Town 🏯
Various ancient-style makeup and costume shops for you to choose from
Although a bit commercialized, the time-travel experience is full marks 💯
3️⃣ The courtyard at night is even more stunning!
Bamboo tables and chairs + lanterns 🏮 create perfect photo moments in minutes
Recommended to come at dusk and shoot until the lights come on 🌆
