Explore the hidden corners of Shenzhen, where 100 yuan can last you a whole day

🙅‍♂️Who says Shenzhen was just a small fishing village in the past, and that Window of the World is the only attraction here? 🙋Just across the river from Dongguan, Shajing is like a time warp, even the prices are reminiscent of childhood memories. Bao'an is the oldest name in Shenzhen, established as a county during the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Shajing has a long history, with indigenous residents living here since 3000 years ago. In ancient times, this place was called Longjin, and the oldest ancient pagoda in Shenzhen, 'Longjin Stone Pagoda', is located here. Many villages in Shajing Street are named after oysters. With the blessing of mural artists, the older generation of oyster farmers can now enjoy their twilight years, leisurely sitting on public benches chatting and cooling off, as if reliving the alleyway life of childhood memories. ✅Visit ancient markets, hexagonal pavilions, ancient wells, opera stages, and oyster walls ✅The waterside public rest area is the best photo spot ✅If you want to go high, you can visit the aerial corridor of the Ruins Garden ✅The Old House Image Gallery has many black and white photos and projections to learn about Shajing's past ⚠️TIPS: Navigate to Longjin Stone Pagoda After getting off at Shajing Station on Metro Line 11, a taxi ride of less than 10 minutes will get you there The main photo spots are around the stone pagoda, no need to venture too far 🍽️Dian Pin Collection Not only do the street scenes of Shajing take you back twenty years, but the prices at the dessert shops do too. The standard yellow bowls from Man Kee and Hui Lau Shan cost an average of 6 yuan each. The best dish is the medicinal chicken feet, and the kids say their favorite is the mango pudding and marinated duck gizzards. 🍽️Banyan Tree Head Food Stall Every night at 7:40, three grannies set up a tent, lay out simple tables and chairs, and this food stall, which has been passed down for over 30 years, becomes the most famous night snack spot in Shajing. The menu is simple with just over a dozen dishes, mainly oyster porridge, with side dishes like marinated flavors, and desserts like sugarcane sweet potato soup and the classic local Guangdong taste of 'shu sheng'. 🍽️In addition, there is also an Oyster Barbecue Street and a Taiwan Food Street.
