**Gankeng Ancient Town - Shenzhen Play Workers の "Through Experience Card"! **�️ Tickets are free but mobile phone memory is urgent ~ three steps and one "Gufeng Cafe", five steps and one "Hanfu Photography Base", you wearing a T-shirt seem to have entered the Hengdian film scene by mistake! 🍵 Lantern Street is beautiful to suffocate (and squeeze to suffocate), The length of the queue of the net red shop is comparable to the early peak subway. I took a bite and found that the stuffing was not yet the boss's Hakka. The most magical thing is: the last second was shooting "small bridge and flowing water", and the next second I looked up and saw the Huawei Building. Good guy, this wave of ancient and modern mixed and I gave full marks!

Shenzhen is the youngest city. It doesn't have as many ancient attractions as Beijing. I finally found this ancient town on the map. It's pretty good. It's free to enter and the residents live and work in peace and contentment. I arrived at this ancient town early in the morning. The residents here all sell vegetables in the market in the ancient town. It's nice to come here and have some fun when you have time.

(There is a nucleic acid testing point on the way. If you need to do nucleic acid, it is recommended to cross the road at the exit) 🏠The ancient town is quite large, continuing the characteristics of all ancient towns. There are food, drinks, and shopping [laughing and crying]. The museum and Phoenix Valley in the town require tickets to enter. The buildings are mainly tile bricks with sharp corners. Friends who love photography should be able to take good pictures. About 200 meters ahead of the exit of the ancient town, you can reach the Twenty-Four Histories Academy. Those who are interested can also visit it. (60 yuan/person during the day and 30 yuan/person at night. It is also a place for large films [smiley face])
