The Dapeng Fortress might be my favorite ancient town in Shenzhen. A leisurely walk of the whole Dapeng Fortress would take about 2 to 2.5 hours. The Dapeng Fortress was constructed during the Ming Dynasty in the 14th century. In 1394, the 27th year of the Hongwu Reign of Ming Dynasty, the authorities began constructing the Dapeng Fortress, which was intended to serve exclusively defense purposes against pirates, foreign enemies and resistance fighters. Together with the Nantou Ancient City in Nanshan, Shenzhen, the Dapeng Fortress was one of the 24 defense outposts along the mountain ridges of Lingnan (southern China). The Dapeng Fortress was especially important for coastal defense during the Qing Dynasty. In 1704, the 43rd year of the Kangxi Reign, the Qing Court turned the Dapeng Fortress into a naval base, which oversees the coastal defense of all of Shenzhen and Hong Kong. This role of the Dapeng Fortress would be very important during the Opium Wars of the 1800s. In 1839, General Lai Enxi, who was a native of Dapeng, sounded the canons that would signal the defense of Kowloon against British attacks. Thus the curtains were drawn for the Opium Wars. After Hong Kong Island was ceded to Britain in 1940 and before ceding Kowloon to the British in 1860, the Qing Court has constructed the Walled City of Kowloon for the purpose of defending Kowloon. At the time, generals from the Dapeng Fortress oversaw the Walled City of Kowloon. As such, the Dapeng Fortress had a very close relationship with the history of Hong Kong. #shenzhen #dapeng #dapengfortress #历史古迹 #china #ancienttown #ancienttownvibes #mingdynasty #qingdynasty #opiumwar #fortress #museum #historicallandmarks

#Mainland China Attractions Dapeng Fortress, whose full name is "Dapeng Guarding Thousand Households Fortress", is located in Pengcheng Community, Dapeng New District, Shenzhen City, Guangdong Province. It was a military fortress for China's coastal defense in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is known as "Dapeng is the best among the coastal fortresses". Shenzhen is also known as "Pengcheng", which originated from this. Dapeng Fortress was built in the Ming Dynasty and covers an area of ​​about 100,000 square meters. Since its establishment in the early Ming Dynasty, Dapeng Fortress has been responsible for the coastal defense security of the Shenzhen-Hong Kong area. It has resisted and fought against invasions by Portugal, Japanese pirates and British colonialists many times. It was one of the main coastal defense fortresses to resist foreign aggression and defend sovereignty during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Today, Dapeng Fortress still retains a large number of traditional buildings with gray bricks and black tiles. It is a great place to experience the history of Shenzhen and is worth a visit. Ticket price: Free Opening hours: Open all day Transportation: It is recommended to drive or take a bus

Use a weekend and enjoy some great scenery of Dapeng Ancient Fortress in Shenzhen. Best option is going by a car, but there is also a bus E11 and it stops nearby. Beach is just few hundred meters away. There are nice coffee shops, tea places, one of the best pizza places on left side from entrance. Yes, wood stove pizza! Personally, I enjoy sketching there, drinking some cold beverage and just absorb the vibe that this place gives. Sound of birds, cats sleeping on porches, children play around. Nighttime is also fun, music bars and restaurants with local food and cold beer. You can walk for hours and still don't see all small alleys and details around houses. It's a place of wonder. #beachlife #fortress #sketching

In Dapeng, Shenzhen, there are many old houses that have been transformed or revitalized into various restaurants, homestays and art galleries. Among them, Pengcheng Mansion (originally a small ancestral hall for the Li family of Dapeng) is a place that preserves the original life of Pengcheng residents and is open to the public for free. With a small courtyard, traditional hall layout and quaint brick wall buildings, the people of Dapeng use local materials and live together in clans, having lived in this birthplace of Shenzhen for hundreds of years. If you walk by and take a look, you can feel the traces of time and the beauty of time.

This time when I was visiting Dapeng Fortress in Shenzhen, I passed by a very interesting coffee story house. It is located on the main street of the ancient city and is built from a traditional old house. Although it is not large in area, it is full of content. The walls of the story museum record major events in the history of coffee, and exhibit coffee pots and coffee cups from various eras, allowing you to experience the culture of coffee while drinking coffee, as well as the different stories that coffee brings, and become a person who knows how to appreciate coffee.

Dapeng Fortress, a national key cultural relic protection site, has been a military fortress since its construction in the 27th year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty (1394). In the Ming Dynasty, the military officers of the garrisons were hereditary, so there appeared many military families in Dapeng Fortress who had been in the army and practiced martial arts for generations. According to research, there were more than 20 generals in the city during the Jiaqing and Daoguang periods of the Qing Dynasty. Today, Dapeng still preserves many generals' mansions, one of which is the "General's Mansion" of Liu Qilong, the famous admiral of the Fujian Navy. General Liu Qilong's Mansion is a typical courtyard building from the middle of the Qing Dynasty. The entire mansion is an irregular trapezoid. There is a stone plaque with the words "General's Mansion" on the door. The building area is 510 square meters. It is a must-visit place when visiting Dapeng.

The Dai Mansion was built in the late Qing Dynasty and covers an area of ​​about 300 square meters. It was once the former residence of Dai Zhuomin, the leader of the Guangdong-Hong Kong General Strike, and Dai Ji, the director-general of the radio station of the Dongjiang Column Headquarters. The Dai family was a prominent family in Dapeng City. They were both talented in literature and martial arts, and passed down the tradition of farming and studying. Daiwu Lane was named after them. Today, the Dai's Mansion has been transformed into a Red Mark Memorial Hall on the basis of protecting the original architectural structure. Here, friends can vividly experience the touching story of the Dai family through graphic materials, scene analogies, cultural relics exhibitions, and colorful murals.

Dapeng Fortress is a square military fort in Shenzhen. Many buildings date to the Qing Dynasty, with a few survivals from the Ming. The narrow cobbled streets and quaint stone houses are home to many cafés and small shops. A former grainery is home to a small museum about the Chinese navy; it has few displays and no English (free). You can go to the top of the East Gate (东门，Dōngmen) for a good view as well as a 3D map of the old town inside the gatehouse. Outside the old town there is also a temple (东山寺, Dongshansi) and a botanical garden (40 yuan), which we didn't visit this time. The fortress is not very big but there are many narrow streets so you can spend a couple of hours wandering around. You could easily combine a visit here with a trip to one of the beaches on the Dapeng Peninsula.
