Strolling Through the Timeless Ancient City｜Dapeng Fortress

Step into the only well-preserved Ming Dynasty garrison site in Shenzhen, and the cobblestone paths and weathered walls instantly transport you back 600 years. The most delightful surprise is that the ancient city still has original inhabitants living there, with elderly women drying fish in front of old houses coexisting with hipster cafes. It is recommended to climb the North Tower to overlook the blue and green interweaving of Ao Yu Mountain and Daya Bay. As the evening light casts on the carved gates of the 'General's Residence,' it feels as if you can hear the horn of ships on the Maritime Silk Road. While you're there, savor some Hakka Poon Choi to continue the historical memory with your taste buds.
