We have been here for 3 times for food and scenery but they have everything in one compact place. Restaurants, street foods, coffee, book store, boutiques and some place for fun like VR and mini F1 car racing which we have yet to try. Our visits here was always pleasant whether its winter or summer, crowded or not. We will always come here for family walks and bonding.

The Gankeng Hakka village was extremely lively on the October national holidays. There were much more people here than normal and many food vendors and shops and stalls were open. Near the main entrance there is a winding path that leads up to this large pagoda, unfortunately we couldnt climb up it but there was still a good view from the bottom. It is apparently a replica of an ancient pagoda built by Hakka people in Guizhou province many years ago. The pagoda is near an ancient style hotel and the entrance to a small childrens petting zoo/farm area called "Little Hakka village" #ancienttown #hakka #domeld

Situated in Longgang district, you can take a bus, metro line 10 or a taxi and make your way here with ease though it’s quite a distance from the city. This is a small ancient town filled with coat streets boasting ancient treasures and of course food. the alleys are perfect for photography and they’re really small so they do look great in front of the lens. Since it’s only a drive from the city centre, there are plenty of hotels and a few in Longgang district too. Infact once you’re in Longgang you’re not too far from the beach! There is plenty of Chinese food available. Most alleys serve some form of food or snacks and of course there are many souvenir shops in the ancient town.

#passionpassport Gankeng is a continual maze of narrow alleyways, each with its own decoration and style. The area is incredibly photogenic and provides opportunities for some great shots. It’s worth exploring each of these narrow alleys as you never know what you will discover. There are also the traditional Hakka courtyards and residences that remain unchanged over time. The walls have murals and art splashed around to give a sense of character, and it’s also recommended to ‘look up’ as above your head there will likely be something to see. Gankeng Hakka town is not the biggest nor the oldest, but it does have its own unique charm and is worth a few hours of your time, especially if you are nearby. Owned and operated by the OCT group it has been updated and renovated to meet the needs of a modern city, this retains its charm while catering for the younger crowd who desire services and convenience. So, dotted amongst the older buildings and alleyways you’ll find the usual tea shops and local restaurants, but this doesn’t take away from the area, it simply is what is it is. You will also find remnants of the original structure here, such as the imposing entrance gate and the fortification wall. A throwback to what it must have looked like during its prime. So, although not Shenzhen’s most impressive sight, I do think it is worth some time out fo your life to check it out, especially if you have seen most of the ‘top attractions’ and are looking for something new to see. But please be prepared this place gets very busy on the weekends.

Gankeng Hakka town is an old style ethnic minority recreation village in Shenzhen. It is free to enter and look around. The village has many small shops, cafes and restaurants located through the small alleyways leading around the village. The alleyways themselves are very beautiful. Up a set of stairs there is a small museum with some historical information about the ethnic minority and the village. I particularly enjoyed the old style advertisements for old products. Walking around the village gives you a sense that you have been transported back in time. #grouptravel #historicculture #ancienttown #shenzhen #domeld
