Shangri-La Hotel, Shenzhen Nanshan Stay ✨ First Impressions Located in the heart of Nanshan District, the Shangri-La Hotel in Nanshan boasts an incredibly convenient location, directly connected to the RAIL IN shopping mall. The hotel is designed with the concept of "birds returning to their nests," blending Southeast Asian and Lingnan styles. From the moment you step in, you can feel the sophisticated ambiance. The highlight is that the lobby and main guest rooms are situated between the 66th and 78th floors, offering a breathtaking view of Shenzhen Bay even before you enter your room! 🛌 Room Review This time, I stayed in a Horizon Club Deluxe King Room, which is a spacious 43 square meters: · Unbeatable Views: The room features large floor-to-ceiling windows, and some room types offer views of Shenzhen Bay and the cityscape. However, a heads-up: some rooms face construction sites, so make sure to request a "Bay View Room" when booking. · Fully Equipped: Surprisingly, there's a Dyson hairdryer, and the bathroom is designed with separate wet and dry areas. Charging cables are conveniently placed on both sides of the bed—very thoughtful! The mini bar offers a variety of drinks, and there's even a coffee machine. 😋😋😋 · Comfortable Sleep: The bed is just the right firmness, but the pillow wasn't quite to my liking, so my neck felt a bit stiff after sleeping. 🍽️ Dining Options The hotel features four restaurants and bars, offering plenty of choices: · 66 All-Day Dining Restaurant: Located on the 66th floor, the breakfast buffet includes unlimited fresh coconuts and a decent variety of dishes. · Summer Palace Chinese Restaurant: Specializing in Cantonese and Chaozhou cuisine, the must-try dishes are the Black Gold Fat-Free Pork Knuckle and the Braised Snowflake Beef with Aged Soy Sauce—absolutely delicious! · Lobby Lounge: A popular spot for photos!

It's about a 15-minute drive to Shenzhen Bay Port and 35 minutes to the airport. · Nearby Attractions: Popular spots like Window of the World, OCT Harbour, and Overseas Chinese Town are just a 5-10 minute drive away. At night, you might even catch the fireworks from Window of the World from your room! Things to Note: · Some rooms face construction sites, affecting the view. · Breakfast can get crowded, so you might have to queue. · Experiences like afternoon tea are on the pricier side, so remember to book in advance.

The area around Huaqiangbei Hotel is packed with shopping spots. 🏨 Hotel: Jianguo Puyin Hotel (Shenzhen Huaqiang Branch) ♥ The reason I chose this hotel this time is because I wanted to visit the nearby Mei Gonglue store, and it's also close to the Huaqiangbei Electronics Center. There are so many things to buy, and I even got a small fan for just $25, such a bargain! 😍 ♥ The hotel room is relatively spacious, with a Chinese-style decor. Overall, it was clean and satisfactory. However, the TV didn't have much to watch, and you need to pay to unlock movies 🥺. Other than that, everything else was satisfactory.

When people talk about Shenzhen, the conversation always revolves around "speed" and "innovation." On this reclaimed land of Shenzhen Bay, a brand-new cultural giant—the Shenzhen Bay Cultural Plaza—is quietly rising. It is not just a physical space of 180,000 square meters but an organic, continuously growing entity centered on design. How to understand it? Perhaps you can take on any of the following three roles. Perspective One: The Designer as a "Pilgrim" Keywords: Reverence, Inspiration, Dialogue For me, stepping into Shenzhen Bay Cultural Plaza feels like a "Mecca" pilgrimage for the design world. There is none of the solemnity and distance typical of traditional museums; instead, there is a magnificent sense of the future. The architecture itself is the first exhibit. Massive cantilevers, smooth curves, and the interplay of light and shadow on concrete and glass create a symphony... Walking through it, you can feel the building "breathing." The vast 180,000-square-meter space does not feel oppressive; rather, through clever circulation design, it guides you into one "inspiration sanctuary" after another. Here, not only the top Chinese designs gather, but also ripples of global design trends. I once paused before a piece of minimalist furniture from Northern Europe, only to turn around and unexpectedly encounter a special exhibition on the African craft revival. This borderless cultural "mutual learning" turns inspiration from isolated sparks into a continuous flame. What moves me most is that it provides a "cutting-edge exhibition space" for Chinese design. This is not the end but the beginning. Many young designers’ works first gain the favor of global buyers and curators here, then step onto the world stage. Standing on this "bridge," you can clearly hear the firm and confident footsteps of Chinese design heading worldwide. The Pilgrim says: When you come here, please put aside the rush of a tourist. Bring a quiet heart, engage in dialogue with the space, resonate with the exhibits. Every corner here may hide the next great design that changes our way of life. Perspective Two: The City Traveler as a "Wanderer" Keywords: Relaxation, Photo-worthy, City Pulse I am not a design expert, just a traveler looking for unique urban imprints in Shenzhen. Shenzhen Bay Cultural Plaza gave me answers far beyond my expectations. First, this is a paradise for photography lovers. The geometric lines of the architecture combined with the sky and water create perfect scenes. Whether it’s the grandeur of the building under a wide-angle lens or the clever composition of light and shadow in a close-up, your social media instantly gains style. Unlike some crowded internet-famous spots, here you can calmly find the best angles and have a quiet "visual dialogue" with this landmark. More importantly, it offers a rare sense of "relaxation." You can wander aimlessly, gaze at the sea view of Shenzhen Bay from a terrace, browse an interesting independent magazine in the design bookstore, or sit on the stepped plaza to watch an avant-garde outdoor design short film. You can clearly feel the pulse of this city—not just economic but cultural and creative—beating strongly here. The Wanderer says: I recommend visiting at dusk. Watch the sunset drape this steel and concrete giant in golden light, and when the city lights come on, the interior lighting creates another cyberpunk-like futuristic scene. At this moment, you will understand that Shenzhen’s charm goes far beyond technology. Conclusion: Shenzhen Bay Cultural Plaza is like a multifaceted diamond, reflecting completely different brilliance from different angles. It is recommended to set aside at least half a day. Whether you come with a professional heart to pilgrimage or simply as a traveler to wander, it will prepare a unique, in-depth design experience for you. There is no need to insist on seeing all the exhibitions; instead, choose one or two themes that interest you, then give yourself enough leisure to "waste" time. Have a coffee on the terrace, flip through art books in the bookstore, chat with strangers you meet by chance. You will find that the true value of Shenzhen Bay Cultural Plaza lies not only in what it displays but in what kind of life possibilities it creates for you—a designed, better, and more leisurely urban life model. This "growing" cultural complex is quietly waiting for your arrival to help you define your own Shenzhen Bay story.

【In Shenzhen, I found a Hakka ancient town that steals time】🌿——Here, there are no hurried footsteps, only the gently worn bluestone paths polished by the years---A stroll here begins a day trip **9 AM**: While Shenzhen’s office buildings are busy with clock-ins, I turn into the alley of Gankeng Ancient Town and instantly fall into another time and space. The wooden door of the top scholar’s mansion creaks open, and the sound of studying from 300 years ago seems to linger between the beams. Touching the delicate wood carvings, my fingertips feel not just wood, but the rise and fall story of a family spanning six generations. **10 AM at Phoenix Valley**, sunlight filters through the horse-head walls onto the koi pond. Sitting in a Hui-style courtyard sipping this year’s freshly picked Phoenix Dancong tea, watching the red koi stir a pool of golden light—turns out in Shenzhen, you really can “steal half a day of leisure.” **At noon**, my sense of smell leads before my eyes. Following the savory aroma of braised pork with preserved vegetables, I enter “Hakka Tower.” The owner points to the shiny black iron pot on the stove: “This pot has been passed down for four generations, and we only make thirty portions of stuffed tofu daily.” When the tofu melts on my tongue, I suddenly understand what “craftsmanship spirit” means. Turning a corner, I meet an old lady wearing a cool hat, pounding glutinous rice cakes: “Young one, try this. I started pounding glutinous rice cakes when I married into Gankeng at eighteen.” The fragrance of glutinous rice mixed with peanuts and sesame is a warmth no trendy dessert can replicate. ---**2 PM**, the weaving loom sounds at the Cool Hat Workshop are like a time counter. Learning to weave a cool hat, a young woman sings Hakka mountain songs while explaining the patterns: “The diamond shape means longing, the peach blossom means blessing.” Each cool hat is a poem Hakka people write to those far away. At the old bookstore at 116 Qidu, I find a 1982 map of Shenzhen. The owner brews kung fu tea and chats: “In my grandfather’s time, this was all rice fields.” Outside the window, tourists in Hanfu drift by, and time and space wonderfully overlap here. **At dusk**, the most magical moment begins. A thousand lanterns light up one by one, bathing the ancient town in warm yellow. The aroma of freshly baked lard rice mixes with folk songs from the bar at the alley’s end, drifting into the night sky. Children run around holding glowing candied hawthorns, their laughter bouncing off the Ming and Qing dynasty walls, waking a dozing tabby cat. **After nightfall**, modern technology and ancient architecture start a dialogue. 3D light projections on century-old walls narrate the Hakka migration history, and holographic water screens show koi leaping over lotus ponds. Sitting on Ming dynasty stone steps watching a 21st-century light show, this wonderful sense of displacement is exactly what makes Gankeng so captivating. **Travel Tips**: -Hidden gems: Morning reading sessions at the top scholar’s mansion, guzheng music at Phoenix Valley at dusk -Taste secrets: Add ginger juice to stone-milled tofu pudding, choose oolong tea base for cool hat milk tea -Photo spots: The loft through the small east gate of the lotus pond offers panoramic views of the ancient town--- 🍡 **Street Snacks** -Mugwort Tea Cake (12 RMB): Available only on weekends -Stone-milled Tofu Pudding (8 RMB): Best with brown sugar ginger juice -Cool Hat Milk Tea (25 RMB): A must for social media check-ins -Hakka Glutinous Rice Cake (15 RMB): Handmade by grandma, the most authentic--- 🎪 **Special Experiences** 🎨 **Handicraft Workshops** -Hakka Tie-Dye (88 RMB): Make your own square scarf to take home -Ceramic Painting (58 RMB): DIY Hakka totem designs -Movable Type Printing (38 RMB): Print ancient poems as souvenirs 📸 **Photo Hotspots** -Top Scholar’s Mansion Moon Gate -Phoenix Valley Horse-head Wall -Lotus Pond Nine-Bend Bridge -Lantern Street Night Scene--- 🚇 **Transportation Guide** -Subway: Line 10, Gankeng Station Exit B (8-minute walk) -Bus: M269/M273 to Gankeng Ancient Town stop -Driving: Navigate to “Gankeng Ancient Town P4 Parking Lot” (5 RMB for the first hour) After a day of wandering, I still don’t want to leave. Save this for easy reference. When traveling in Shenzhen, buying tickets on Trip.com is very convenient.

Nantou Ancient City, located in Nanshan District of Shenzhen, adjacent to Shennan Avenue, is situated in the bustling heart of the city. It is not merely a tourist attraction but a living urban area with a history spanning over 1,700 years. Serving as the administrative center, coastal defense stronghold, and maritime trade gateway of the southeastern Guangdong region throughout various dynasties, it has witnessed Shenzhen's transformation from a remote border town to a modern metropolis.

In the Qing Dynasty, it served as the county seat of Xin'an County, which governed the areas of present-day Shenzhen and Hong Kong. 3. Modern Era: With the cession of Hong Kong and the establishment of the Shenzhen Special Economic Zone, its political and economic significance diminished, leading to a period of dormancy. In recent years, extensive preservation and revitalization efforts have transformed it into a vibrant district blending history, culture, creativity, and cuisine. 📍Key Highlights and Features 1.

These are free to enter and systematically narrate Shenzhen's historical "past lives." 3. Fusion of Old and New · This is the most unique charm of Nantou Ancient City. On the same street, you can find: · Ancient ancestral halls and residences coexisting with avant-garde designer shops and cafes. · Traditional barbershops and grocery stores alongside trendy dessert shops and cultural creative brands. · This striking temporal collision makes history tangible and experiential rather than cold relics. 4.

It proves the land's deep and continuous historical heritage. · Model of Urban Revitalization: It is a successful example of urban renewal in China, demonstrating how to inject new vitality into old districts without destroying historical textures. · Immersive Cultural Experience: With no walls and free access, the best way to explore is to wander aimlessly through the crisscrossing "Nine Streets," feeling the breath of history and modernity. 📍Practical Information · Address: 3109 Shennan Avenue, Nanshan District, Shenzhen (south of Zhongshan Park). · Transportation: Take Shenzhen Metro Line 12 to "Nantou Ancient City Station," and you will arrive immediately upon exiting the station. · Opening Hours: The ancient city district is open all day.
