Tour description
Kindly message me first to confirm availability before booking
Shenzhen may be known for its skyscrapers and speed, but join me and you’ll discover the city’s softer, artsier side — hidden in plain sight.
We’ll start our adventure at Dafen Oil Painting Village, a place where art and culture thrive. Here, you’ll see galleries and artist studios, and get a chance to watch artists at work. You might even chat with them about their craft.
Next, we’ll head to Gankeng Hakka Town, a quaint spot blending traditional Hakka architecture with modern touches. It’s a great place to stroll, snap some photos, and indulge in local snacks.
✨ I’ll bring my camera along and casually capture some lovely moments from the journey.
