It's not Xiamen! It's this village in Shenzhen🌞 that's so perfect for spacing out🎨 My experience this time in Dafen Village was quite refreshing. I used to think it was just a commercial area for selling oil paintings. After actually being there, I realized that many of the merchants here are individuals with distinct personalities🫧, aspirations, and dreams. Among them, there are oil painters🧑‍🎨 who have persisted for more than a decade. Many emerging independent coffee shops☕️ have also taken root here. Seeing the blend and collision of new and old cultures, I really feel very nice☺️ 📌 1⃣️ The oil painting village has many street spots with a great atmosphere for painting experiences. It's still very worthwhile to go there, especially if you avoid the weekends! 2⃣️ There are many interesting small shops, like vintage clothes opened by young people👗, and creative cultural products✏️, all of which are the owners' labors of love. Definitely worth a visit🤓 3⃣️ The Dafen Art Museum is right in the village (closed on Mondays). If you come, you can also drop by to visit and take pictures📷

| Blooming of Mountains and Seas - 2024 New Year Art Exhibition. Shenzhen is a city of mountains and seas, located on the coast of the South China Sea, with a mild climate and flowers blooming all year round. In recent years, Shenzhen has proposed the 'Mountain and Sea City' plan, organically integrating 'mountains, seas, cities, and gardens' to create a unique city card for Shenzhen where mountains, seas, and cities coexist, realizing the fusion development of ecological value and urban value. This is Shenzhen's initiative towards high-quality sustainable development. As the Chinese New Year is approaching, in order to deeply study and implement the spirit of the 20th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, enhance cultural soft power, strengthen the spiritual strength of the people, and show the development achievements of Shenzhen's literature and art, the Dafen Art Museum has specially planned the 'Blooming of Mountains and Seas - New Year Art Exhibition'. The exhibition covers a variety of artistic media including traditional Chinese painting, oil painting, printmaking, installation, and video, with rich themes, novel ideas, and interesting meanings. Through this exhibition, we explore and present the aesthetic tastes and artistic appearances of contemporary art creators in Shenzhen, showing expressions and occurrences in a natural state. On the occasion of the New Year, it has stirred up a wave of enthusiasm among literary and art workers to write a new chapter for the high-quality development of beautiful Shenzhen and beautiful China, creating a festive and harmonious atmosphere for the Spring Festival, and at the same time, it hopes to infect the masses with aesthetic value and artistic taste, and enhance the cultural sense of gain and happiness of the people with high-quality cultural supply.

#ShenzhenAttractions I knew before that Dafen Village was going to be renovated and transformed due to government planning. The streets became wider and cleaner, and every shop was tidy. The road was repaved and parking lines were painted, and everything seemed to be in good order. In addition to the beautiful Dafen Art Village, there is also the newly built Dafen Art Museum. The building is modern and beautiful, and it displays many works of Dafen Village painters. No tickets are required, you can visit at will. The interior of the venue is spacious and bright, with paintings one after another displayed on the walls, with different styles and expressing different emotions. The works displayed on the second floor of the venue are more diverse. One exhibition hall even makes paintings into peripheral products, which feels more down-to-earth. If you come to Dafen Village, you can stop by the Dafen Art Museum to see the artistic works and creativity of the village.
