Dongguan| Zhenhua Road· The old city where the pause button of time is pressed

| Zhenhua Road· The old city where the pause button of time is pressed. Most people's memory of Dongguan is the Opium War and the burning of opium at Humen. The relics displayed in the museum record this humiliating history; the first time I came to Dongguan, I accidentally entered the inconspicuous old city, where I unexpectedly discovered the slow life of Guancheng as if the pause button of time was pressed. 📍Location: Zhenhua Road, Xiyu, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province · Every old city is the same and different for the people living here The familiar scenery has lost its freshness, but for me who is new here The shops on the street are like time machines. Through the decoration of the shops and the snoring of the shop owner during a nap It seems that the stories that happened in the past can be replicated along the extension of time · The boy on the bridge riding a bicycle has made an early appointment with his companions for the weekend destination The old man in the audio-visual store lingered in front of the tapes for a long time, recalling that he was also crazy about a certain singer when he was young. The little girl eating snacks at the door of the house, the clothes drying on the balcony, I stood in the middle of the street and looked around, every place was full of life · 🍀Tips 1⃣️It is recommended that the light after four o'clock in the afternoon is more photogenic, and the time for walking + taking pictures is about 1.5h-2.5h 2⃣️Most of the shops on the street are for the surrounding residents, mainly for life; some small restaurants, some shop owners are more willful and do not open in the afternoon; there are also a few flower, bird, fish and insect shops 3⃣️Recently, the main street of Zhenhua Road is under construction, which is a bit inconvenient, but it does not affect photography
