Very convenient and easy to find the way👣👣👣 Nanyang Inn is a traditional Nanyang-style building in Southeast Asia. The hotel is themed on the memories of Hakka people going to Southeast Asia Records the Hakka people's struggles in Southeast Asia and their longing for their hometown What is Nanyang style? 🤔 Nanyang was a general term used by China to refer to Southeast Asia during the Ming and Qing dynasties. At that time, Chinese went to Southeast Asia to do business. The style of the traditional houses in my hometown is combined with the British/French colonial architectural style.

It was my first time to Gankeng Ancient Town. I stayed at a special Nanyang Inn. Although the rooms were small, they were very clean. The waiters were friendly. There was also a terrace with a view of the street. It was noisy because there were many people, but the night view was beautiful and peaceful at night. There were many Hakka snacks and a variety of ancient clothes that could be rented and taken pictures (I didn't rent any). I stayed for 3 days and 2 nights, and had a leisurely time. It was very comfortable.

The hotel is very close to the main entrance, and there is a restaurant next to it. The coconut chicken in the restaurant is delicious👍. We ate there for 2 consecutive days. The service staff there was very friendly and the environment was very clean. The interior of the hotel was clean, but the only drawback was that the bathroom would spray water from the door into the room. Fortunately, the cleaning lady helped us clean it up in the middle of the night🧹 and immediately changed our room the next day☺️

Address－Shenzhen Gankeng Nanyang Inn, Executive Room Environment/Facilities - Clean and sanitary, with a bathtub for soaking, sufficient air conditioning, located in Gankeng Town, very convenient, good staff service Rating - 8.5

The hotel environment is clean and the CP value is high. I stayed in a business room, which had separate wet and dry areas, but the bathtub was too high for easy access. The business room had a large double bed and was very comfortable. There are many small stalls nearby that serve good snacks and are not noisy. It is very convenient to stay here when visiting Gankeng.

This time, I went to Gankeng Ancient Town with my family and chose "Nanyang Inn". Stayed for two days on the 25th and 26th. Great location, great living environment! It’s just that the TV can’t receive Radio Hong Kong! This may be worth considering! But the service attitude is very commendable, polite, friendly smile, make the passengers feel very comfortable! It is worth praising the young brother who works at the front desk and shuttle service. The shuttle service and attitude are very good and friendly, even comparable to the service of the concierge department of a five-star hotel in Hong Kong, and the quality can be said to be better! Especially this time when there were elderly people and the weather was bad with heavy rain, they were very helpful in picking us up and would not mind the guests’ repeated requests! This service attitude is truly commendable. The most unforgettable thing was that we left behind a memorable photo frame and photo when we left the hotel! When we contacted the employee (who was picking up my brother), it was already 8:00 pm and he had already left work. However, since he knew that this was a commemorative item of the guest, he immediately contacted the front desk department to find the item and immediately arranged for SF Express to send it back to Hong Kong with cash on delivery. This proactive attitude is very rare, and it also requires perfection in serving customers! This time, I am very grateful to the brother who provided the shuttle service and the front desk for their help! Let guests create beautiful memories and remember the excellent service this hotel provides to guests! Thank you very much!

Not bad 👍

The hotel has a strong Nanyang style, with bright and lively colors. As soon as you step into the door, you will feel full of holiday feelings; the scenery of the ancient town is different in the morning and evening. Looking out from the room, you will feel relaxed and happy, and the stay is very comfortable; Axia, the hotel front desk clerk, is enthusiastic, thoughtful and professional. 👍#Shenzhen Hakka Gankeng Town #WeekendTour #NightMarket #CulturalTour

#深圳景点#Sign up for hotel test sleeper The architectural style of Shenzhen OCT Nanyang Inn is very distinctive, with the Hakka Nanyang as the theme. There are many dark wooden Nanyang furniture, full of humanistic charm ❤️ In addition, the forest landscape is quite beautiful, and there is a fish pond next to it! It feels like a holiday, the atmosphere is quite fresh and comfortable The first and second floors of the inn are the Nanyang Coconut Chicken Restaurant, where guests can taste unique Southeast Asian cuisine. The menu is quite long and this restaurant is very popular. Nanyang Inn No. 13, Diaolou 101, Gankeng Hakka Town, No. 18, Ganli Road, Gankeng Community, Jihua Street, Longgang District, Shenzhen

#Sign up for a hotel test sleeper #Tour along the Shenzhen Metro I have been to Gankeng Ancient Town twice. There are all kinds of street food and specialty restaurants. The revitalized old houses have been turned into various specialty souvenir shops. Even snuff, a product that was thought to have long been extinct, is sold here! Half a day is enough to stroll around and take pictures, and there are also several exhibition halls to visit. The quaint scenes in the ancient town are matched with various Hanfu and ethnic costume experience stores. A Hanfu experience, including rental and makeup, costs about two hundred yuan. Even if you don't participate personally, watching the young ladies in Hanfu walking on the ancient and quaint streets is also a sight to behold. Although there is a subway to Gankeng Station, transportation is convenient, but if you want to fully enjoy the ancient town style after sunset when the heat fades and the lights come on, staying overnight is a good choice! There are several hotels in the ancient town: Small summer hat is suitable for family fun and has a farm theme; Fenghuang Hakka Hotel seems to be of a higher standard, with a restaurant for dining convenience; Nanyang Inn has a different style and has cheaper small rooms; This time we chose Nanxianglou Art Hotel. The hotel is shaped like an art hotel, suitable for leisurely checking in. The room is clean and tidy, a bit like a photo studio, with all the basic facilities and an iron. It would be nice to dress up and take photos. If there is a full-length mirror, it would be even better! 😜 I don't know if it was a Sunday night check-in, there were not many staff and guests in the hotel, and the lighting was not good at night. Someone on the Internet said it had a bit of a "A Chinese Ghost Story feel" ~~~ The atmosphere was full 😂 Although the hotel is quiet, there is a nightclub across the street, so it is a bit noisy at night!

Gan Hang Ancient Town environment is very very comfortable place and clean inside there are many photo spots , and more food , the hotel is clean and the waiter attitude is good, and took us to a nearby restaurant to eat 👍🏻
