This is a national three-level museum and an ancient residence hidden in the downtown area. There are often some folk activities in the early days of the holiday, which are launched here. Suitable for taking children to travel and understand the Hakka folk culture in Shenzhen.
Hehu New Residence is known as the "First Hakka Walled Village". It is the largest Hakka walled village complex in China and the most complete and representative of the more than 300 existing Hakka walled houses in Shenzhen. Hehu New Residence was built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (1736-1795) by Luo Ruifeng and was completed in the Daoguang period (1782-1850), covering an area of 14,432 square meters. It is now the Shenzhen Longgang Hakka Folk Museum and a key cultural relic of Guangdong Province.
I never thought that there are such intact traditional residential buildings in the bustling city of Shenzhen. There are not many tourists here, no tickets are required, and even parking is free. The houses are well-repaired, with prominent Hakka style, and the cultural introduction is also detailed, which is very good.
Hehu New Residence is known as "China's No. 1 Hakka Village". It covers an area of 21,000 square meters, with a construction area of 13,779 square meters. It is 185 meters wide from north to south and 109 meters long from east to west. There are 179 residential units, each with 1-3 rooms. In front of the main gate of Hehu New Residence is a wide rice field (commonly known as the grain drying field), and next to the rice field is a mirror-like half-moon-shaped pond called "Moon Pond". On both sides of the Moon Pond, there is an ancient banyan tree with lush branches and leaves, shaped like an umbrella, and a flagpole stone from the Xianfeng period. The central building of Hehu New Residence consists of the main gate, left and right horizontal gates, Tianxia Street, ancestral hall, row houses, Shangtian Street, and enclosures. There are several rows of "windows" and "gun holes" on the surrounding walls of the enclosures to prevent external disturbances. The entire enclosure has two wells for drinking for the whole village, with a complete and reasonable drainage system, and the outlet is flooded in the Moon Pond. Hehu New Residence is surrounded by a solid city wall in a square shape. The wall is more than 6 meters high and about 1 meter thick. It is made of cement and is very strong. There are 10 three-story hip roof pavilions at the four corners of the wall, which are connected to the "horse-racing corridor" on the wall, forming a defensive fortification with a magnificent scale and high walls surrounding the fortress. There are three gates on the front of Hehu New Residence and one small gate on each side. The gates are magnificent. The residential buildings inside the wall are composed of two "Hui" characters. The layout of houses, halls, rooms, wells, corridors and courtyards is staggered, and the streets are complicated, like a maze, easy to defend and difficult to attack. It is known as "Nine Heavens and Eighteen Wells, Ten Pavilions and Horse-racing Corridors", which is a typical Hakka residential building.
There stands a Hakka enclosure with weathering vicissitudes between steel and cement. This is a Roche residence built by a businessman named Luo Ruifeng, who worked hard and thrifty to get rich by squeezing oil. After three generations of expansion, his residence experienced Qianlong, Jiaqing and Daoguang dynasties, and finally built a new residence in Hehu, now known as "the first enclosure of Hakka". It is like a quiet old man, watching the prosperity of the world quietly, but sticking to the unique Hakka folk culture. Enter this area, the noise is no longer, you see, hear, feel, remember only history and culture.
Dragon Park was built in 1992. It is a public park with a long history in Shenzhen. It has a quiet environment, lush trees and green grass. The many sculptures with dragon totems scattered throughout the park are a highlight here. There are not many recreational facilities in the park, and most residents who come here mainly take a leisure stroll. The giant dragon exhibition hall in the park is magnificent and looks like a giant dragon. There are also many strange-shaped landscape stones here, which are quite ornamental.
