Shenzhen Qing Dynasty Ancient Ruins Buildings

Shenzhen's Guanlan Ancient Market | A Touch of Ancient Charm in the City: Check Out the Ancient Murals To experience a different side of Shenzhen, Guanlan Ancient Market is a place worth exploring. Although Shenzhen is known for its modern metropolis, this tranquil space embodies an authentic, bygone era – stepping back in time and experiencing the rich cultural heritage of southern China. This time, I made a special trip to Guanlan Ancient Market, and my biggest surprise was spotting an exquisite, ancient-style mural on Dongmen Street. The woman's attire is exquisite, and the ancient buildings in the background create a symbiosis of modernity and nostalgia. It's a perfect backdrop for photos and a perfect spot for both travelers and photographers. 🌸Guanlan Ancient Market Guide 1. Must-Photo Mural: This ancient-style mural can be seen near the Dongmen Street entrance. The woman depicted in the mural exudes a classic charm, blending seamlessly with the ancient buildings behind it. Visiting in the morning or evening, when the light is softer, creates the best photos. 2. Wander the alleys of the Ancient Market: The Ancient Market boasts numerous well-preserved buildings, including century-old houses and stone-paved alleyways. Numerous details are worth savoring, and every gray wall and eaves reveals Shenzhen's history. 3. Cafes and Snacks: Several atmospheric shops line the alleys, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee or local snacks and slowly immerse yourself in the unique rhythm of Guanlan life. 4. Artistic Atmosphere: Occasionally, you'll encounter local artists working on their creations, and there are also handicraft stalls to purchase, perfect for finding unique souvenirs. 5. Attraction Information: - Address: Dongmen Street, Shenzhen - Opening Hours: 7:00 AM - 2:00 AM year-round 🛎️ Useful Tips for Your Trip - Avoid peak weekend hours. Visiting in the early morning or evening is less crowded, allowing you to experience the tranquil atmosphere of the Ancient Market. - Some shops in the Old Street have varying opening hours, so check their hours in advance if you're looking for unique shops. - The Ancient Market is perfect for taking photos and checking in, so casual clothing and comfortable shoes are ideal for a leisurely stroll. - Transportation around the Ancient Market is convenient, with subway and bus connections to Guanlan. Parking is available for those driving, but spaces can be tight on weekends. 🍜Food Recommendations - The snack shops within the Ancient Market specialize in Cantonese dim sum and handmade desserts. We recommend trying the local rice noodle rolls and double-skin milk, which have a thin, smooth crust and a refreshingly sweet taste. - The cafe has a great atmosphere and offers a selection of black coffee and handmade cakes, perfect for a relaxing break. Shenzhen's Guanlan Ancient Market is not only a popular Instagram attraction, but also a historical settlement steeped in history. Next time you visit Shenzhen, take a leisurely stroll through the Ancient Market to discover the tranquility and cultural resonance of the city. #ShenzhenAncientMarket #GuanlanAncientMarket #CitySlowTravel #MuralCheck-In #ShenzhenCheck-InAttractions

The St. Regis Shenzhen

This short staycation in Shenzhen, chose the St. Regis Shenzhen, mainly because of its high-altitude luxury and beautiful scenery, whether day and night landing large glass, looking at the city skyline has been super relax. The hotel is very conveniently located on Shennan East Road, downstairs has a subway station, nearby large shopping malls and restaurants, walk so not afraid of nothing to eat, both business or leisure is quite suitable. Speaking of the interior environment, the design takes a modern and concise route. The lobby is already full of luxury. Once you enter, you will feel like you are spoiled. The most surprising thing is the high-rise city view, and the large indoor swimming pool, which during the day the sunlight shines into the pool water, super healing; Even if you don't go down to the pool, walking in and looking at the view outside the floor-to-ceiling glass window is enough to take pictures, the atmosphere is great! The most eye-catching thing about the hotel is the 24-hour butler service, which provides courteous assistance at any time, such as replenishing water and tea, inquiring about nearby information, and checking in early. The front desk and restaurant staff were courteous with friendly smiles which does add. However, some guests feel that there is still room for enhancement in service details, such as sometimes facility maintenance may not be ideal, or some rooms are not very consistent with hygiene standards. Personal impressions: During my stay, I felt the staff attitude is extremely good, the environment is really clean and comfortable, daily coffee and tea available, dinner time looking out at the night view is great. It is recommended to book a high floor room type, which will have more open and beautiful views. Trip tips: The pool is less crowded in the morning, suitable for taking pictures; breakfast options are rich, you can enjoy slowly; there is a shopping mall nearby, buying souvenirs or shopping is very convenient. Surrounding recommendations: You can walk to the nearby high-end shopping mall, dinner does not necessarily stay in the hotel, you can go out to try Shenzhen authentic food; if you want to check in, you can give more time to take pictures of the city night view. Booking Tips: Advance booking is recommended during peak season, especially for high-floor or view rooms;communicate with the hotel before check-in if you have special needs;remember to take advantage of butler service to enhance the whole experience. The city of Shenzhen itself is very suitable for weekend flash, hotel-style vacation is luxurious enough, suitable for friends, couples or families to travel, easily enjoy the new life in the city. #ShenzhenHotelRecommendation #High Altitude Photo #LuxuryHotelExperience#
