The Hakka town of Gankeng has a history of a hundred years, and it has a natural and ancient temperament.

We are all well aware of the prosperity of Shenzhen. In such a prosperous place, the existence of Gankeng Town is particularly different. Therefore, many tourists are curious about this quiet town in the middle of the bustle and come to visit one after another.

Although Gankeng Hakka Town is located in the bustling city of Shenzhen, it can be called a little tranquility in the hustle and bustle. Next, let’s take a look.

The residents of Gankeng Town are mainly Hakkas. In fact, when Shenzhen's economy was not as developed as it is now, the entire Shenzhen was dominated by Hakkas.

However, with the subsequent economic development of Shenzhen and the influx of population, the number of Hakka people no longer held a major advantage.

At that time, people all wanted to work hard for their future in Shenzhen, and Shenzhen did fulfill most people’s dreams.

Shenzhen has become more and more prosperous and noisy, and there are fewer and fewer places where you can be alone quietly. Therefore, the small town of Gankeng has shown its charm.

Gankeng Town is a 5A-level scenic spot in my country. After you visit it, you will find that it does have some similarities with the ancient towns in Jiangnan Water Town.

Let's look back at its name, "Gankeng", which means sweet creek in Hakka.

It is said that in the past, there were not only many creeks here but also sweet and delicious. Farmers working out or tourists after a long journey would like to go to the clear creek here to get some water to drink, and they will never forget to praise its sweetness at the end.

Water has been a constant element in Gankeng town for hundreds of years, and it has the magic power to soothe people's hearts as always.

Since the town of Gankeng is mainly Hakka, the local folk culture is mainly Hakka. Coupled with the sweetness of the water, the local Hakka snacks are also very good.

What about cultural folklore?

In special festivals, there are lively Hakka dances such as Qilin Dance and Carp Lantern Dance, as well as dragon dance, Hakka Crying Marriage, and Hakka straw hat.

Regarding food, there are many delicious delicacies such as Hakka Poon Choi, Hakka Chaguo, and salt-baked chicken. I highly recommend the salt-baked chicken.

Gankeng looks completely different during the day and night. The author prefers Gankeng at night, especially the quiet town of Gankeng when the night is dark.

During the day, Gankeng Town still has a lot of tourists. After all, it is a century-old town located in the middle of Shenzhen. Visitors to Shenzhen want to come and have a look.

When there are too many people, the ancient town loses three points of its interest.

But during the day, the colors of Gankeng are very bright, and the simplicity of the buildings matches the Hanfu. There is a place for renting beautiful Hanfu at the entrance of the town. It only costs at least 80 yuan each time to take your own beautiful ancient photos.

Paired with the dim yellow lights, the edges and corners of the buildings in Gankeng Ancient Town are softened, making Gankeng appear more gentle at night. At night when there are no or few people, whether you are walking on the slender stone road, or

Even if you stay in a quaint house, you can perfectly achieve solitude with yourself.

People are often unwilling to be lonely, but it is often loneliness that can polish a person's character. I hope you can seize this opportunity given to you by Gankeng Ancient Town.

With pavilions, bridges and corridors, green willows and clear water, Gankeng Ancient Town is also known as "Shenzhen Little Lijiang".

Gankeng is an excellent place. Although it grew up in a busy city, its wild nature still exists. Those natural existences make it even more picturesque and make people nostalgic.
