Strolling in Gankeng | Seeking poetic moments amidst ancient charm

💖Gankeng Ancient Town, a beautiful time of antiquity and charm💖 That day, under the bright sunshine, I stepped into the historically rich Gankeng Ancient Town. As soon as I entered the town, I was deeply attracted by the ancient-style architecture and the peaceful atmosphere. 🏞️Walking on the cobblestone paths, it felt as if I could hear the echoes of history, with each stone telling stories of the past. Gankeng Ancient Town, originally known as Gankeng Hakka Town, is located in Longgang District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. It is one of the top ten Hakka ancient villages in Shenzhen! 🌊In the local Hakka dialect of Shenzhen, '坑' means a small stream or ditch. The town is named Gankeng because of the numerous springs and the sweet-tasting stream water. Walking in the ancient town, it's as if I could feel the sweet water flowing beneath my feet~ 🏘️In Gankeng Ancient Town, I also saw many buildings with unique characteristics! The Nanxiang Building, which has withstood more than 120 years of vicissitudes, and the Zhuangyuan Mansion built during the Yongzheng era, both amazed me. These buildings are integrated into the landscape and form a unique carrier of Hakka culture together with the century-old Hakka row houses. 🎭Besides the architecture, the cultural activities in Gankeng Ancient Town are also very rich! Performances and exhibitions of Hakka culture allowed me to gain a deeper understanding of the charm of Hakka culture. Moreover, the local cuisine is fantastic! The traditional Hakka dishes made me linger and forget to return~ In short, Gankeng Ancient Town is really a great travel destination! Whether it's to experience the historical charm or to taste the Hakka culture, it will make your journey unforgettable~ Shenzhen·Guangdong
