When the empty factory becomes artwork inspiration!

The story of this place starts in 1985 when they build a glass factory that produced products from famous brands and they used back then very superb technology. Eventually, the factory becomes empty in 2009 and then in 2013 this place was reborn again and becomes a Value factory. Located in Shekou, a subdistrict of the main Nanshan district, very near the Shekou Port metro station. Right now, this value factory is very famous for young people, students, artist, digital media influencer, and everyone who like cultural and art exhibitions. This place offers many different events for art, fashion, literature, etc. What grabs my attention are the many murals that you can see on the gray walls that are how this place has a cool and rebellious vibe. This is also a popular place for every subculture lover or person who feels younger and likes to describe themselves artistically. Also here you can find some bars and one nice coffee shop that are per se for work or study. There is a way how to reach the top of the factory building where you can enjoy in fantastic view and see the big Shekou port. If you need a cool place in Shekou and you want to run away from the weekend Sea World crowd, then this is the place that you should check it. #blog #tripblazers #urbanexplorer #factory #shenzhen #blogtripblazersurbanexplorer

Gankeng Hakka Town

Step into timeless charm at Gankeng Hakka Town, where tradition meets picture-perfect scenery! 🏮🌳 Soak up those old town vibes as you wander ancient courtyards, tree-lined paths, and heritage lanes—all tucked away from Shenzhen’s city rush. Embark on your stroll starting at the stone gateways, letting winding paths lead you past classic tiled Hakka houses and serene lotus ponds. Don’t miss that Insta-worthy tree hung with red blessing ribbons—a splash of color and culture in the midst of tranquil greenery (cloudy days add a moody magic! 🌧️). Snap close-ups of intricate Chinese architecture and lotus blooms for your photo archive. Take time to pause by the riverside pavilions, where reflections add depth to every shot. Must-do: Sample fresh Hakka snacks at local stalls and step into historic buildings for a glimpse of rural craft and life. If it’s rainy, be sure to carry a light raincoat or umbrella—the open courtyards get slick, but watching mist linger over rooflines feels straight out of an old movie. Early visits (before 10 AM) guarantee fewer crowds and quieter photo opportunities, especially in hidden corners. Practical tip: Gankeng Hakka Town is open all day, year-round—perfect for spontaneous detours! Some courtyards may be slippery when wet; comfy, sturdy shoes are a must. Respect local customs, especially when photographing blessing ribbons or residences. #Shenzhen #GankengHakkaTown #OldTownVibes #ChineseArchitecture #TravelChina #happyhalloween
