In addition to painting, there are many entertainment facilities in the studio, such as petting cats and serving drinks. This makes me feel very relaxed and at ease, and makes me enjoy the painting process even more.

Shenzhen has several art communities and creative spaces, but the most popular and well known one is undoubtedly Dafen Oil Painting Village in Longgang District. In a bustling city like Shenzhen it can sometimes be hard to know where to go during a day off, especially if you don’t fancy a hike or park that day (probably the two most popular things to do during free time). Dafen Oil Painting Village provides the opportunity to have a nice walk, get some fresh air and soak in some culture at the same time. Founded in 1989 by a Hong Kong businessman it has expanded to include over 700 local businesses and art outlets as well as thousands of local artists. At one point the village produced over 60% of the world’s oil paintings. Walking around here you can see virtually every type of painting style from abstract to impressionism and all the ones in between. Many of these are in small studios which you can browse around in and look at the art undisturbed by the owner. Some of the art is done in the little alleys between buildings, where the artists are in their zone, focused on a picture from an iPad, making a flawless reproduction or two. You can stand and watch as magic happens in front of you. The art is incredibly cheap to buy here, with small pieces starting at 30RMB. With so many vendors negotiating is quite possible so make sure you get the best deal possible. You can also bring with you any picture/photograph and they can make an oil reproduction on any size canvas you want. This can make for an excellent gift. For a few hundred Yuan you can commission an artist to copy your favorite piece of art, your wedding photo, or photos of your family. Insist on “A” quality – it costs a little more but it’s worth it. You can also get incredibly rapid framing while you wait and inexpensive art supplies The buildings themselves are also a joy to look at, with pastel tones and graffiti murals this is like an art walk, seeing what you can spot next. The narrow alleyways give a great feeling of exploration as you never know what you will see around the corner. Even the kindergarten has an artistic vibe to it! The village maintains is authentic feeling by the lack of chain businesses here, no Starbucks or KFC to be seen. This is a refreshing thing to see in a city of shopping malls and clone stores. If you get time, check out the ‘Art Space Café’ this coffee shop is practically a gallery in its own right, and many people come here to work in solitude or just to take pictures As well as the smaller galleries and stalls there is a large art museum to see. Spread over 2 floors this houses a large and ever-changing set of exhibitions, usually by local artists. This is a clean, modern museum and is definitely worth checking it out if you are in the area. Overall I feel Dafen Oil Painting Village makes for a great day away from the city centre, it’s suitable for solo traveler. #passionpassport #solotravel

As i was roaming around this painting village, I stumble along this old weathered entrance doors on the south part of the Dafen Oil Painting village. It really looks old. Rustic and so much character so i thought i can photograph it. Red bricks on the wall, Those old lanterns hanging. Worn-out roofs. That ancient-looking door entrance thats so inviting to look upon to. It is situated just beside Sunrise Art Center. Patrons used it as background for their selfies. And again, as the millenials says, very instagrammable. 😍✌️🙄 #createwithtrip #wheninshenzhen #urbanexplorer #solofemaletraveller #exploreshenzhen #culturewalk
