Dapeng Ancient Town

Nestled in the lush Dapeng Peninsula, Dapeng Ancient Town is one of Shenzhen’s best-preserved historical gems. Dating back to the Ming Dynasty (14th–17th century), this fortified seaside village once served as a crucial military stronghold against coastal invasions. Today, its ancient stone walls, narrow cobblestone alleys, and well-preserved Qing-era architecture offer a vivid glimpse into the region’s past. Wander through time-worn temples, traditional Hakka residences, and quaint courtyards, where echoes of maritime history blend with local folklore. A striking contrast to Shenzhen’s modern skyline, Dapeng Ancient Town is a tranquil time capsule, perfect for history buffs and culture seekers.

Hehu New Residence

Located in Longgang District, Hehu New Residence is one of China’s largest and most iconic Hakka walled villages, built during the Qing Dynasty in the late 18th century. This architectural marvel showcases the Hakka people’s ingenuity with its symmetrical layout, fortified outer walls, and intricate courtyard homes designed for clan cohesion and defense. Stroll through its maze-like corridors, ancestral halls, and watchtowers to uncover centuries-old traditions of communal living. Today, the site functions as a museum, preserving artifacts and stories of Hakka migration, resilience, and cultural heritage. A stark contrast to Shenzhen’s tech-driven modernity, Hehu New Residence stands as a testament to the city’s multicultural roots.
