The Old Shenzhen

It's not the kind of site the majority of tourists flock to Shenzhen for but it certainly is one of the most interesting; as it sets into contrast to what Shenzhen once was. We discovered a great number of mini museums and exhibitions all around the area but unfortunately came a bit too early to experience any, they open after 11am. There are good Dim sum options open for breakfast with great set values. During our discoveries we also managed to spot a church within the area. #wecreate #urbanexplorer #tripblazers #celebratewithtrip

Underrated Food & Drinks hub

Don't overlook the food and beverage scene in Nantou. Entering the ancient city, you might think that it will be all old inside it including the food restaurants or food choices. Think twice. I've seen modern architecture designed restaurants and a zillion coffee shops inside. Its like old meets new. East meets West. No big brand names, mostly are owned by the residents inside the walled city. There are countless Cantonese snacks like rice noodles, chinese pastries, sweet potato chips, etc... Western food are present in the scene too such as burgers and fries,.. Coffee shops are the kings of the walled city. I lost count counting them. There will be something to eat for everyones's preference. 😍😍😍 #travellater #foodie #themepark #wheninshenzhen #ancientlandmark #solofemaletraveller

So i went to a 1,700 years old Nantou walled city in Nanshan district, in Shenzhen with the hope of finding more intricate historic details. And i must say, i wasn't disappointed at all. My eyes were filled with so much beauty of these old, historic and rustic bricks, walls, bold and colorful designed gates and windows. Even the pavement and pathways are screaming with so much character and details. I didn't feel tired at all while walking, roaming around the walled city for an hour and half. 😜 #travellater #urbanexplorer #solofemaletraveller #wheninshenzhen #ancientlandmark #ancientarchitecture

The ancient city of a thousand years takes on a new look, brimming with a sense of technology

Strolling within the old city, one can hardly feel its history of over 1000 years, except for the city wall at the entrance, all other buildings are in the style of Cantonese arcade houses. Setting aside the historical background of the old city, this district is quite trendy, with flowers competing in beauty everywhere, and every casual snapshot is a view. Some of the old shops in the district are pretty good, many time-honored brands have moved here and taken root, which is nice.

Check in at the artistic ancient town of Shenzhen, and explore the old Shenzhen

Is there really an ancient town in the youthful place of Shenzhen? In fact, in the city center of Shenzhen, which is the Nanshan district, there is an ancient town called Nantou Ancient Town. The most ancient architectural style in the ancient town is probably the ancient city gate tower located in the south. After entering the city gate, there are two crisscrossing alleys. The buildings on both sides of the alley are obviously later restorations and additions. This place has now become a hub of Shenzhen's craftsmanship, and also a trendy spot for artistic check-ins in Shenzhen. Many artistic youths come here to take photos they like. If you are a tourist looking to find the past appearance of Shenzhen, or a tourist who wants to pursue the modern artistic atmosphere of Shenzhen, then Nantou Ancient Town is definitely a place you can't miss when you come here. Additionally, opposite Nantou Ancient Town, there is a Litchi Park filled with lychee trees, which is also worth checking out if you have the time.

While experiencing a moment of culture, enjoy long-lasting stress relief and a relaxed body and mind

Weekends are perfect for visiting Nantou Ancient City to experience the local culture, unexpectedly stumbled into a sunny alley, with outdoor seating for resting, lazy in the afternoon, feeling quite tired, I decided to enter a Thai massage shop to relax. The interior of the shop is dimly lit, mainly offering Thai-style techniques and aromatherapy massage, I've been quite active recently, so the Thai-style technique was just right for relieving soreness. First, there was a foot bathing ritual, the moment the warm water touched the soles of my feet, the feeling of fatigue began to fade away. The masseuse was skilled at controlling the pressure, asking where the soreness was, and then applying targeted pressure, 65 minutes later, although it was really painful, but at least the lingering sense of fatigue was gone. After the experience, I took a short rest on the first floor, where they also provided tea and desserts, in those few moments, both body and spirit were satisfied. 🏠Store: Thai Massage-Lyujing (Nantou Branch) 📍Address: No. 101, Block 2, Chun Jing Street, Nantou City Community

Places in Shenzhen Suitable for Solo Exploring | Slow Life Check-in on Weekends

| Slow Life Check-in on Weekends. A slow life destination for Shenzhen's working population: Nantou Ancient Town (Can be explored in 1 hour, quite small) This is my Nth visit to Nantou Ancient Town to experience the cultural heritage of the ancient town (though not much haha). Many people come here alone to stroll or sit idly during the day or evening. There are different small exhibitions every month (just enter the shops to see) and also tasting events. Here you can find residents, tourists, merchants, part-time students, and also many pets. They don't aggressively solicit customers. Compared to other tourist spots, it's very free. The merchants are also very laid-back. During the day, the archways, Xin'an County Yamen, prison, and coastal defense office are open until 5 pm. At night, it's about enjoying the small exhibitions, the little night lights under the trees, sipping milk tea, and tasting wine. The atmosphere is different during the day and night, each with its own charm. Location: Nantou Ancient Town, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, free to check in (most shops allow photography)

Shenzhen Nantou Ancient City📜

#winhkflight Nantou Ancient City Museum is a museum in Nantou, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong, China. Built within the former government house of Bao'an County, the museum has two stories and three halls, displaying historical artifacts across the former county. It is opened 09:30-17:30 every day with no admission fee. The walled city of Nantou is the start of Shenzhen's urban history, and began with the establishment of Dongguan Commandery and Bao'an County in the sixth year of the Eastern Jin dynasty (Year 331).Emperor Cheng of Jin split the Nanhai Commandery into two—the eastern and southern parts—creating the Dongguan Commandery, whose government was located in what is now Nantou. There are many local cultural shops inside the alleys and streets. Worth to pay a visit to immerse in the heritage and local culture. Recommend to buy a tour guide as there were barely explaination. I want to travel to Hong Kong to understand the development of the advanced city!

Nanshan District Three-Day Two-Night Hea Stay and Play

2023 has already seen visits to Nanshan and Bao'an districts, where last time I only spent one night touring Nantou Ancient City and missed some shops and museums. Therefore, this time I revisited Nantou Ancient City, spending an afternoon and evening exploring the old town. Firstly, last time I stayed at a chain hotel: Ibis. This time, I chose a service apartment called Mei Qiu M, which I personally prefer over Ibis in terms of cleanliness, space, comfort, and convenience. (Photos 1-8) On the first day, we arrived at the hotel after 4 pm, so we only went to a nearby supermarket to buy some supplies: water, drinks, and ready-to-eat snacks for late-night munching. We chose to go to Rainbow Supermarket (Zhenye·Xinghai Store), which was about a 15-20 minute walk from the hotel. Dinner on the first night was a bunch of food we bought and took back to the hotel to eat. (Photo 9) The next morning, we bought rice noodle rolls near the hotel and ordered Luckin Coffee, leisurely heading to Qingyu Garden Hotel to check out the environment. This hotel seemed economical with meals included when viewed online, but upon actual visit, it was not very convenient. It was a 5-minute walk from the subway exit, and there were no facilities nearby. It felt more like a holiday house/hotel on a remote island in Hong Kong, where you would just stay in and rest. In the afternoon, we returned to Nantou Ancient City, had some snacks (seaweed rice rolls - a pleasant surprise), planned life over coffee, took quirky photos, played with small animals, and had Thai food for dinner, which wasn't very tasty so I won't share that. Because we arrived at Nantou Ancient City earlier this time, we saw more small animals. They were all very friendly, and the shop owners were happy to let their pets interact with customers, which felt very friendly and civilized. 👍🏻👍🏻 After dinner, we passed by Hema on the way back to the hotel and bought some souvenirs to take back to Hong Kong the next afternoon. The end.

Nantou Ancient City in Shenzhen: The old city gets a new look, creativity knows no bounds!

Shenzhen | Nantou Ancient City A model for the renewal of the old city👍 Nantou Ancient City is a cultural relic protection unit in Shenzhen and is also one of the 'Top Ten Cultural Characteristic Blocks of Shenzhen'🤩. 📝Here, there are more than a dozen cultural and historical landscapes such as archways, South City Gate, Xin'an County Yamen, Xin'an Prison, Coastal Defense Office, Dongguan Guild Hall, Guandi Temple, Wen Tianxiang Ancestral Hall, Opium Smoking House, Reception Hall, Juxiu Tower, Yili Pawnshop, and Taomi Gong Money House😜. Since the establishment of Dongguan Prefecture in the sixth year of Xianhe during the Eastern Jin Dynasty (331 AD), it has a history of nearly 1700 years📜. It was the location of the Bao'an County government before the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and is known as the 'Root of Shenzhen-Hong Kong Historical Culture', 'Capital of Eastern Guangdong, Origin of Hong Kong and Macau', and is the starting point of Shenzhen city🎯. Nantou Ancient City has witnessed the 'migration and return' of Shenzhen's center and carries the historical culture of Shenzhen🎭. 🖋️Different from the ancient cities in the Central Plains, the main street of Nantou Ancient City is based on the architectural style of Lingnan Guangfu😄. Apart from the archway and city tower which are traditional ancient buildings, the interiors have been turned into reinforced concrete buildings😒. It is more like a creative park than an ancient city🎪. It seems to be a model for the renewal of the old city, transforming the urban village into a refined direction, integrating several ancient houses with the surrounding modern trends🤝. It does not deliberately preserve the old traces for the sake of pursuing retro, and this pragmatic approach forms a stark contrast with the large-scale demolition and construction of other cities🆚. Of course, no matter what method is used, it is for better promotion of local culture👏. Good packaging is essential for better protection. There is no absolute right or wrong, and more differentiation provides people with more travel options and brings a more diverse lifestyle🎉. Transportation: You can take Line 12 to Zhongshan Park or Nantou Ancient City Station🚆.
