【Time Travel! Capture Stunning Ancient-Style Photos on a One-Day Trip to Gankeng Ancient Town!】 🚀 Gankeng's Top Attraction! Step into a 300-Year-Old Hakka Town! 📍Address: No. 18, Ganli Road, Gankeng Community, Buji Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen 🚌Transport Tip: 5-minute walk from Exit B of Gankeng Station on Metro Line 10 1️⃣ Gankeng Museum ➡️ Cannon Tower Courtyard Gankeng Museum: The essence of Hakka culture! Antiques + immersive scene recreations 📸 Photo Spots: Ancient cannon platform + Hakka walled architecture complex Why Visit? ✅ Well-preserved ancient buildings—every shot is a masterpiece ✅ Less crowded & picturesque! Far better experience than packed ancient towns 2️⃣ Qidufang ➡️ Arcade Old Street Qidufang: The most Instagrammable spot! Red bricks & black tiles + intricate lattice windows 📸 Best Angles: 1. Lattice windows on Qidufang’s second floor 2. Lantern walls on the old street (stunning at dusk) 🍜 Food Recommendations Hakka Yumian: Must-try! Fragrant lard noodles Kway Teow Soup: Silky & chewy with flavorful broth Hakka Stuffed Tofu: Crispy outside, tender inside, rich bean aroma Tips to Avoid Pitfalls: ⚠️ The town is small—2-3 hours is enough ⚠️ Weekends get busy; arrive before 10 AM ⚠️ Hanfu rental costs ¥50/hour—bringing your own is cheaper (Sharing takes effort—if you like it, please like & save! 💖)
