Discover Shenzhen’s Historic Coastal Stronghold

#mytraveldiary Dapeng Ancient Fortress in Shenzhen is a fascinating historic site dating back to the Ming Dynasty and later expanded during the Qing Dynasty. Built as a coastal defense fortress, it played a vital role in protecting the region from pirates and invasions. Today, it charms visitors with its ancient gardens, tranquil rivers, and stone bridges that reflect centuries of heritage. With its old-school vibe and well-preserved structures, the fortress offers a peaceful journey into Shenzhen’s rich past.
