Citywalk|Shenzhen's little-known millennium-old Shajing Ancient Market
Shenzhen's little-known millennium-old Shajing Ancient Market. Speaking of which, many people in Shenzhen may have never visited Shajing, and what little is known about it might be the Shajing oysters. However, Shajing also 'hides' an ancient town that is said to be nearly a thousand years old--Shajing Ancient Market.
The term 'market' refers to a place that was once inhabited but is now abandoned, and Shajing Ancient Market, as the largest and most well-preserved historical style conservation area, has witnessed many past glories.
The most famous site in Shajing Ancient Market is the 'Longjin Stone Pagoda,' built during the Southern Song Dynasty, named 'Longjin' after the Longjin River that runs through the ancient market. The entire architectural complex is also distributed along the Longjin River as the central axis, and many of the existing residences and archways faintly convey the sense of life in the past. Most of the current residents of Shajing Ancient Market are elderly people who have lived there for a long time or workers from nearby areas, creating a real sense of a time-space overlap.
In Shenzhen, where historical heritage is relatively scarce, such a group of ancient buildings is highly recommended for a visit. Tips for young travelers:
1. There is no subway station near Shajing Ancient Market, so transportation is relatively inconvenient, and those who are far away may consider their travel options accordingly.
2. The ancient market is large, with many residential alleys and relatively few signs, so consider your safety appropriately.
3. If you just want to get a simple feel for the ancient market, you can directly locate 'Longjin Stone Pagoda' and just walk along the riverbanks.
