Half mountain and sea, half prosperity. Shenzhen is not just fast-paced, but also poetic with a slow life rhythm.

【3 days 2 nights, about 4900 RMB per person! Shenzhen Guide: Mountain and Sea Metropolitan Circle, Trendy Fun and Relaxation All Included】 Day 1: Take the high-speed train directly to **Shenzhen North Station** (round trip from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen about 800 RMB), then taxi to check in at a **design hotel near Nanshan MixC World** (such as Shenzhen Marriott Hotel Nanshan, 1400 RMB/night). In the afternoon, visit **Nantou Ancient City**—a millennium-old city vein combined with trendy cultural and creative elements, where coffee, handmade crafts, and graffiti walls blend into a unique vibe. At dusk, climb **Talent Park** to overlook the Spring Bamboo Shoot Building and Shenzhen Bay sunset, as the city lights gradually turn on, filling the atmosphere with romance. For dinner, choose “Gangxia 1980” Chaoshan-style food stall, with beef hotpot and oyster omelet, about 150 RMB per person for authentic taste. Day 2: Spend the whole day enjoying **OCT East** (ticket 220 RMB)—adventure park in Daxia Valley + stroll through the flower sea in Tea Creek Valley, take the cable car through mountain and sea mist, and check out the fairy tale town. Or for a lazy option: **Yantian Coastal Walkway light hiking** (free), walk from Dameisha to Xiaosanzhou, accompanied by blue sea and sky. In the evening, visit **Yantian Food Street**, must-try ginger scallion crab and sea urchin fried rice. Overnight at **Hyatt Regency Yantian** (1600 RMB/night), with floor-to-ceiling windows to watch the sea and listen to the waves. Day 3: After waking up, head to **Dapeng Peninsula** (chartered/shared car round trip 300 RMB), explore **Jiaochangwei Beach** + **Dapeng Fortress** (free), where the Ming and Qing dynasty coastal defense ancient city meets a cluster of artistic homestays creating a magical atmosphere. Have seafood pasta for lunch at a seaside café. Return at 3:00 PM, stopping by **Gankeng Old Town** (Hakka culture, free) for photos and buying souvenirs like “Phoenix Buckle.” 💰Budget breakdown: Transportation 900 + Accommodation 3000 + Food 600 + Tickets 300 + Car hire etc. 200 ≈ **4800 RMB** 📌Tips: 1. Shenzhen weather changes frequently, carry umbrella + sunscreen; 2. Visit OCT East early to avoid crowds; 3. Subway scan “Shenzhen Tong” card is super convenient! ⚠️Avoid pitfalls: ❌ Unlicensed “cheap diving” by the beach, don’t be greedy for bargains; ❌ Taxi detours? Prefer using Didi or subway. Three days and two nights, half mountain and sea, half prosperity. Shenzhen is not just fast-paced, but also poetic with a slow life rhythm. Come to this young city and live the ideal life of being both trendy and relaxed!

Gankeng Hakka Town

Step into timeless charm at Gankeng Hakka Town, where tradition meets picture-perfect scenery! 🏮🌳 Soak up those old town vibes as you wander ancient courtyards, tree-lined paths, and heritage lanes—all tucked away from Shenzhen’s city rush. Embark on your stroll starting at the stone gateways, letting winding paths lead you past classic tiled Hakka houses and serene lotus ponds. Don’t miss that Insta-worthy tree hung with red blessing ribbons—a splash of color and culture in the midst of tranquil greenery (cloudy days add a moody magic! 🌧️). Snap close-ups of intricate Chinese architecture and lotus blooms for your photo archive. Take time to pause by the riverside pavilions, where reflections add depth to every shot. Must-do: Sample fresh Hakka snacks at local stalls and step into historic buildings for a glimpse of rural craft and life. If it’s rainy, be sure to carry a light raincoat or umbrella—the open courtyards get slick, but watching mist linger over rooflines feels straight out of an old movie. Early visits (before 10 AM) guarantee fewer crowds and quieter photo opportunities, especially in hidden corners. Practical tip: Gankeng Hakka Town is open all day, year-round—perfect for spontaneous detours! Some courtyards may be slippery when wet; comfy, sturdy shoes are a must. Respect local customs, especially when photographing blessing ribbons or residences. #Shenzhen #GankengHakkaTown #OldTownVibes #ChineseArchitecture #TravelChina #happyhalloween
