Dapeng Ancient City
Dapeng Ancient City has a 600-year history, and this is why Shenzhen is nicknamed "Pengcheng". 600 years ago, it was a military fortress for China's coastal defense, covering an area of 100,000 square meters. At that time, the government called on Hakka people from northern Guangdong to migrate here. Therefore, the architecture here combines Hakka and Cantonese styles. Moreover, more than 10 generals emerged during the Ming and Qing dynasties, earning it the name "General Village". Today, it preserves historical buildings, along with unique craft shops, cafes, teahouses, and restaurants.
Dafen Oil Painting Village
Dafen Village was originally a small Hakka village with an area of only 0.4 square kilometers and a population of 300. In 1989, a Hong Kong art dealer named Huang Jiang brought the commercial oil painting industry here. Now, the Oil Painting Village has become the largest production and trading base for commercial oil paintings in China, with its output accounting for 60% of the global market and an annual output value of 4 billion yuan.
There are copies of world-famous paintings here. A documentary called China's Van Gogh made Dafen's painters famous overseas. Now, it is gradually transforming from an "oil painting factory" into an original art base. The popular custom portraits of deceased dogs and relatives on Instagram also come from here. Next to it is the Dafen Art Museum, built by the government with an investment of over 100 million yuan. If you are an art lover, you will love this place.
Lunch Dim Sum Meal
Dim sum is a Cantonese/Hong Kong style food. Soft, sweet or savory. Popular dishes like shrimp dumplings, egg tarts, and rice rolls. Loved by people from Guangdong and Hong Kong. Yummy and delicate!
Art Exhibition Center
A huge place full of artistic home decorations. Ceramics, bamboo - woven items, fabrics… All kinds of creative designs. Perfect for finding unique home decor pieces. An art lover’s heaven!
Jewelry Wholesale Market
Shenzhen Luohu Jewelry Wholesale Market is currently China's largest, with the most complete industrial chain and the highest development level. Its annual revenue exceeds 120 billion yuan.
It accounts for 50% of the country's gold wholesale. The usage of gold and diamonds here makes up 70% of the Shanghai Gold Exchange's total, and diamond usage alone is 80%.
You can find diamonds, gold, colored gemstones and all kinds of precious jewelry here. There are original designs, high-quality copies, and various cutting-edge designs.
It's a paradise for jewelry buyers and lovers.

About Tour Guide Miaomiao W.
I’ve been a licensed English-Japanese tour guide since 2004! I know Shenzhen well—I’ll tell you stories about the "dragon’s sons" on ancient roofs and take you to try high-tech fun like flying cars, drones, humanoid robots, and self-driving taxis, super exciting!
I’m great at shopping too. I know exactly where to go for the best deals: cheap gadgets as gifts, real-looking knockoffs at China’s top high-end clothing market, and 2-carat lab-grown diamonds for just 2000+RMB. You might even find a business chance you didn’t expect.
Need to visit factories? I can help—show you around, assist with negotiations, or find factories if you don’t have one. After the order is set, I’ll follow up on the progress and help arrange shipping. I’ve ordered clothes, jewelries, frames, lens from factories myself, so I’m super experienced and reliable!
I’m flexible, down-to-earth and easy to get along with. I’ll make a customized itinerary fast, no generic cookie-cutter tours—just breathtaking spots tailored just for your taste. Traveling with me is anything but boring, and you won’t need cold translator apps at all. I’ll share your joys and listen to you vent if things go wrong. Your Shenzhen trip will be totally worth it!

“Amazing trip with Miaomiao”
My family and I had a fantastic tour with Miaomiao. She was absolutely amazing and informative. She took us all around Shenzhen and nothing was too much to ask her to arrange. I would highly recommend a tour around Shenzhen with Miaomiao!

Hi Justin. A huge thank you for your amazing review! It was an absolute pleasure showing your wonderful family around Shenzhen’s high-tech wonders—your three kids were so cute, and their curiosity about the robot dog, brainwave painting, and all the tech was such a delight to see. I loved watching you and your wife interact so warmly with the kids, and I’m glad you found the perfect DJI drone too. It makes me so happy that your whole family loved Shenzhen and made such lovely memories (and great group photos!) here. Hope to see you all back in Shenzhen soon—looking forward to your next visit!
