Shenzhen Aohu Art Village | Encounter poetry and tranquility.

In the fast-paced city of Shenzhen, Aohu Art Village is like a secluded place that is independent of the world, allowing people to find inner peace and beauty. Today, let's explore this fun and niche place. 😉 📍Address: No. 60, Xingye Road, Longhua District, Shenzhen 🎫Tickets: Completely free and no reservation required, which is amazing! 🎉 🚇Transportation: Take Shenzhen Metro Line 4, get off at Niuhu Station, and walk about 800 meters from Exit B; you can also choose to get off at Niuhu Metro Station East Bus Station; self-driving is more convenient, you can drive directly into the village, and find a parking space along the lakeside road. As soon as you step into Aohu Art Village, it feels like stepping into a corridor of time, and the charm of history comes to you. 🥰 It is said to have a history of more than 300 years, and most of the buildings in the village were built in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. Those ancient houses, ancestral halls, and watchtowers 🏘 silently tell stories of the past and witness the changes of time. It is truly "a short canopy tied in the shade of ancient trees, and a cane helps me cross the bridge to the east," making people intoxicated in this simple atmosphere. Among them, the Huanyan Family School and Qiming School, which were donated by overseas Chinese during the Republic of China, highlight the village's emphasis on education since ancient times. Now, as part of the art village, they continue a unique cultural heritage. ✨ Walking through the alleys of the village is like entering a palace of art. 🎨 The graffiti and prints on the walls are full of creativity and artistic atmosphere, and each one is like a silent poem, adding vibrant colors to this ancient village, making people want to take pictures to capture these beautiful moments. 📸 The six watchtowers in the village are a highlight. I was lucky to see five of them this time, and one of them can be seen inside. Although the wooden stairs and floors are hard to find, they are all listed as immovable cultural relics in Longhua District, standing quietly there, guarding this land, exuding a simple and solemn beauty, which makes people feel "the green hills are still there, and the sunset is red several times." 😌 There are not many tourists here, and it is very quiet, like a paradise away from the hustle and bustle. Literary shops and coffee and tea rooms ☕ are scattered around. Although some are slightly lonely, they create a unique and quiet atmosphere, which is especially suitable for friends who like quietness to relax. However, remember that there are few convenience stores in the village, so you can prepare some supplies before coming. 🧐 Aohu Art Village is such a poetic and fun place, whether it is for a walk on weekdays or a weekend trip, it is worth experiencing. 💕
