#深圳之旅 Every time I go to Shenzhen, I transform myself into a super special forces soldier, determined to take in all the new and fun things. I spent two days in Shenzhen this time. I don't know how many subway lines I changed. I walked more than 20,000 steps a day. Although I had too much fun and had a high fever of 39 degrees for two days after returning, I still think this trip is worth it🤩 Day 1 itinerary Shenzhen Bay MixC 🚇Exit G of Houhai Station on Line 11 I went there for the theme exhibition "Blue Friends". The super charming blue created the atmosphere of a small daisy manor in the south of France. There is also the blue house of Ander Uncle. It's too crowded to take pictures📸 If you want to take pictures without crowding, you must go early. There are too many people in the afternoon. 🍽️ RiRiXiang Goose Meat Restaurant (Vientiane City B1) After walking around for a while, I was looking for something to eat. I randomly chose a restaurant with vacancies and ordered a set meal, which included a rice, a bowl of olive soup and a small dish of vegetables. The portion was just right for two people. As a Chaoshan dish, it tastes quite good. Shenzhen Bay Park 🚇 Line 9 Shenzhen Bay Park Station Exit D2 There were too many people, and the weather was hot, so we left after staying for a while. Gankeng Ancient Town 🚇 Exit B of Gankeng Station on Line 10, walk 10 minutes to the entrance of the ancient town, and there are also direct buses Entrance is free, and the atmosphere is more vivid after the lights are turned on at night. It was not originally in my plan, but I decided to go there on the spur of the moment. It was nice to take a walk after dinner. Friends who like ancient towns can go for a stroll. Day 2 itinerary OCT Creative Culture Park 🚇 Exit A of Qiaocheng East Station on Line 1, follow the navigation and walk for about 10 minutes The park is very large, and it took a long time to walk around the north and south areas. I went too early and many shops were closed, but luckily there was sunshine, so the photos were still good. Shenzhen Library North Branch 🚇 Exit A1 of Hongshan Station on Line 4, no reservation is required to enter the library The library is very spacious and has many stamps to be stamped, so remember to bring your own stamp book! There were so many people that it was hard to find a seat. 🍽️ Eat rice I was attracted by the decoration, the price-performance ratio is very high, and the rice can be refilled unlimitedly. The boiled pork slices and Hunan stir-fried pork are very generous in portion and the spiciness is just right for my taste. It is also only one stop away from Shenzhen North Station, so it is very convenient to take the high-speed rail. Shenzhen Art Museum It is across from the library and you need to make an appointment in advance through the mini program. Some of the paintings in the exhibition hall on the first floor are very much to my taste. At the end of this journey, I was really exhausted, but the charm of Shenzhen is so great that I want to go again and look forward to meeting you again💕

Shenzhen Art Museum is a sanctuary of art that brings peace to the soul. Its exhibitions are filled with profound thoughts and visual impact, ranging from traditional Chinese paintings to modern installations, allowing everyone to find their own cultural resonance. The museum's spacious and minimalist design enhances the vibrancy of each piece through the interplay of light and shadow. Every exhibition is a visual and spiritual cleansing, as if one can traverse the canvas to glimpse the emotions and soul of the creator. Whether you are an art enthusiast or a casual traveler, you will be captivated by the endless charm of art and completely immersed in the blend of tranquility and beauty. Shenzhen Art Museum is not just a place to display works but a bridge of art that invites you to re-examine life.

◎Shenzhen Art Museum Upon entering the exhibition, what you see is a pair of hands holding upward-stretching golden threads, resembling the messy thoughts sprouting from the hands, a myriad of ideas. The first piece: An Uncertain Journey Red threads weave from the ceiling to the small boat on the ground, the connections between boats symbolize the intricate emotions and life connections between people, and where the boat of fate is headed is unknown. Entanglement, knotting, twists, relaxation... •The second piece: Silent The piano that was burned in a fire at a neighbor's house when I was nine years old, in front of the piano are rows of charred chairs, connected and entwined by black threads. "The threads become tangled, interwoven, broken, and scattered. They continuously reflect my inner world and also express the various relationships between people."

Shenzhen Art Museum, adjacent to Longhua Urban Reception Hall, together with Shenzhen Library (North Building), has become a new cultural facility landmark in Shenzhen. The art museum has an exhibition area of 20,000 square meters, with 18 art exhibition halls, where works by Chinese and foreign masters are exhibited. From the first to the fourth floor of the exhibition halls, I enjoyed various works such as landscapes, ink paintings, sculptures, and videos. For someone like me who has a limited understanding of art, it is also a cultural baptism and enjoyment. Each piece is the author's true feelings about life and characters, not only is the painting itself beautiful, but you can also see the connotation that the author hopes to express. Art and photography are similar in some respects; how you view the world is reflected in your work.

It is said that art museums are the high grounds of visual arts in a city, endowed with many symbols and significances; they are also the gathering places for culture and spirit. An art museum named after a city reflects the cultural heritage and spiritual direction of that city. As one of the 'major cultural facilities of the new era' in Shenzhen, the Shenzhen Art Museum (new building) officially opened on November 6, 2023. This art museum, which has grown along with the city, has stepped into a new era! If you are traveling to Shenzhen, I highly recommend visiting this place, both for the architecture and the art exhibitions inside!

If you come to the Shenzhen Art Museum to see Shiota Chiharu's 'Trembling Soul' exhibition (free), don't just take pictures. If you can calm down, this is an exhibition worth quietly feeling (some feelings cannot be expressed in words), there will be some thoughts on life and death, and the human environment. My favorite work is 'Accumulation - Searching for a Place', hundreds of suitcases are hung by red threads, swaying with the wind, sinking and floating. Seeing thousands of boxes, you will think about why the wandering son will leave his hometown? Why go elsewhere? Why set off? As she said: When people leave their hometowns, they all have a place in their hearts... Looking in the mirror, I realized for the first time: I have black hair and black eyes, the longer I wander, the more mixed, the easier it is to re-examine myself in a foreign land. Shiota Chiharu, born in Osaka in 1972, now lives in Berlin. Her work is an attempt to transition between Asian and European cultures. Her inspiration usually comes from her own experiences and emotions, and later evolves into a discussion about life issues. In this exhibition, you can see a room entwined with thousands of red threads, like red blood flowing in blood vessels, and a small boat made of black iron wire is connected by red threads, like a floating life fate. There is also 'Inside and Outside', each collected window has witnessed the flow and change of German society in the 20th century. Some people feel that the entire exhibition is depressing and oppressive, but I feel that everyone should have the courage to face life and death, and should think about the blending and replacement of all things. ———————————— 📍 New Museum of Shenzhen Art Museum 📅 Open until February 25, 2024 🎫 Free, need to make an appointment in advance Because I went on a weekday, there were not many people, and the experience was better, but I still want to mention that it is best not to bring too small children to this exhibition, because some children are more active and will pull the line, parents need to pay attention.
