🌿 Gankeng Ancient Town｜A Secret City Traveling Through Time

Leaving the skyscrapers of downtown Shenzhen, it only takes half an hour to discover Gankeng Ancient Town, nestled amidst greenery and a canal. The quaint alleyways, cobblestone streets, and perfectly preserved buildings evoke a sense of time travel. While the commercial atmosphere is stronger than expected, the overall atmosphere still retains a rare, ancient charm. Teachers, cultural and creative shops, and local snacks are all found along the streets, renovated from old houses. It's a shame that the occasional waft of street smoke slightly disrupts the tranquility. Strolling along the Gankeng River Greenway, gazing at the mottled walls and draping vines, you can still sense the uniquely relaxed and warm atmosphere of this ancient town. Amid the bustling Shenzhen, this place feels like a breath of fresh air from the past. #ShenzhenTravel #GankengAncientTown #GreenwayWalk #AncientStyleTown #CitySecret #SlowDown #TripMoments
