The experience of retro Hong Kong style and dark tour at Wenheyou in Shenzhen
Hey! I'm Klaus, I'm at Wenheyou, it seems to have lost its once brilliant glory. It is said that when it first opened, the queue went beyond the riverbank and wrapped around, with people willing to pay a thousand yuan extra for a cup of tea with a pleasing color. Now, even during the May Day holiday, many shops on the upper floors are closed, and the whole Wenheyou is filled with the scent of decline, darkness, and Changsha stinky tofu, with many people covering their noses as they pass by, guessing that other snacks are also unsellable. This must be Wenheyou from Changsha not acclimating well to Shenzhen.
Attraction features:
It's more like a bazaar museum than a retro Hong Kong style building. Tea with a pleasing color, Xiao Luo stinky tofu, Yantian rice noodle rolls, Wen Ji one-heart chicken, A Qiang fruit juice ice, Da Li Lai pork chop buns, Deng's traditional pastries, HAYDON black hole, Donggua Mountain meat sausages... these are all nationally renowned small shops/brands. Wenheyou has gathered all the delicacies from the streets and alleys of Shenzhen, where you can check in at Shenzhen's time-honored/popular dishes in one stop. In addition, there are delicacies from the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area and all over the country. There are also photo studios, selfie sticker booths, old bookstores, barber shops, internet cafes, game rooms, dance halls, old home appliance rooms, and grocery stores. There are nearly hundreds of thousands of antiques inside, and it is said that it took two years to collect them.
Shenzhen Wenheyou is based on the concept of 'Shenzhen Market', transforming an entire building, located between the Guangshen Railway and the Buji River; 'Y2K' aesthetics can be simply understood as futurism, containing vitality and creativity. Sci-fi electronic elements and bizarre artistic installations, the past and the future, life and art intertwine here.

Visitor experience: The feeling is average, now there is no need to make a reservation or queue up, and there are not many people. It seems that the novelty has worn off. It is said that the name has been changed here, there are two entrances, and the opening time is too late at 11:30, so don't go early, I went too early today. There are 4 floors inside, and there is an elevator to go up. The things here are very expensive and I do not recommend eating because they are expensive and not tasty. Wenheyou is like an empty shell now, most of the people who come here are just to check in and take photos, few people come to taste the not-so-delicious food here. It looks like only Wenheyou in Changsha is authentic (evil smile bee) if interested you can go to Changsha to experience it.
