On the fourth day of the New Year, there are more tourists, but there is no loss of mood, because the ancient town is too awkward, absolutely go to the whole day to fully punch the card, because the day or night shadows are awkward, and there are many restaurants, do not wash and starve, in addition, there is a 14th history college in the ancient town, if you enter, Adult departments have to be more than 60 mosquitoes, but it is strongly recommended that you go to visit the scenery inside. Because the 14th History Academy needs to earn the field fee, there are relatively few people. The bathroom outside the field is particularly clean, so it is definitely worth visiting.
The attractions and the subway are about a minute's walk away. There are hawker stalls along the road. The scenery in the scenic spots is very beautiful. It has its own characteristics day and night. There are many shops in the park: restaurants, tea shops, bookstores, play areas, monuments and cultural museums, etc., which feel like a theme park with a cultural atmosphere. There are also many antique costumes and shooting services. The hotel price is more popular than the theme park in the evening. It is recommended to stay overnight, enjoy the scenery of day and night, and experience it easily.
Night view of Gankeng Ancient Town. I read an article saying that after the ancient town of Gankeng entered the night, after the building was lighted, it felt a little thousands and thousands of searches. At first I was a little suspicious, but when I saw the real thing, I also felt this. I don't think it is recommended to Japanese style during the day, but I feel this after lighting up. There is a faceless man at the entrance of a small store, which is very lining with the atmosphere around. Walking on the streets of the ancient town at night, suddenly walking into this cartoon (animation) a little bit. During the day, there are many beautiful women wearing Hanfu to photography. They have seen young people for the time being and more at night. There is still food at night. I walked on the street at nine o'clock and still saw the store still open. I guess it was closed at ten o'clock. If you want to eat, you can go to the convenience store (opened 24 hours).
Day view of Gankeng Ancient Town. My trip was a person for two days and one night. I went to Gukeng Ancient Town at 3 pm on Friday and left at 2 pm on Saturday. Although I have seen a lot of data on the webpage, I think it may be similar to other ancient towns in the mainland! But after I went there, I found that it was not. I went on Friday afternoon, there were not many tourists, because there were locals living in this area, so there were also locals in the tourist area. Near the next five o'clock, many local high school students, it seems to be a group activity. I am not here to introduce the attractions in detail, because there are too many articles to say. This time I went to the attractions of the ancient town: 1. Xiaoliang Hat Farm (I only went to the matinee, the cost is 30 yuan; there are also night games) (I went Saturday morning, there are few people, for adults, a good leisure place) 2. Twenty-four History Academy (I only went to the night games, Cost 30 yuan (very beautiful) 3. Phoenix Valley (Huangzhi Museum) (only matinee, cost 30 yuan) (after entering, through a tunnel with lights but dark, there are four museums in the venue, exhibition: metal, jade, pottery and Buddha statues, each museum is dark, but the entire museum venue is very large, because dark, I don't like this museum very much. When I went there were very few tourists. 4. Jiafeng Jiayuguan (free) except for not going to V Valley Paradise, I finished all the places in the ancient town and carefully appreciated the architecture. The website said that this ancient town played for 1 to 3 hours, and how to play, each person played differently. The food here is of course Hakka cuisine, there are other places, but I still recommend Hakka cuisine. If you want to eat snacks, there is a snack bar in Ganwei Lane, which is also a good choice. By the way, if you use Gaode map, Gaode map has a map of the attractions of Gankeng Ancient Town, you can refer to it.
Gankeng Ancient Town is a Hakka town established in Shenzhen in the Ming Dynasty. It is reported that after visiting Gankeng from Meizhou in the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Hakka family found the local scenery pleasant and decided to settle in the local area. To this day, many ancient buildings in Ankeng have still been preserved, and the local area has also developed into a cultural scenic spot and characteristic industrial area.
