An ancient city in the newest city, Dapeng!

#wecreate Hi everyone, today I want to share with you my amazing experience at the Shenzhen Dapeng Fortress, a historical and cultural site in Shenzhen. The Shenzhen Dapeng Fortress is located in the Dapeng New District, in the eastern part of Shenzhen. It was built in 1394 and was used as a military base and a trade center. It has a history of over 600 years and is one of the best preserved ancient fortresses in China. To get there, you need to take the metro to Dapeng Station and then take a taxi for about 20 minutes. The taxi fare is about 50 yuan. The fortress covers an area of 110,000 square meters and has a wall of 1.8 kilometers long. You can see the wall and the four gates of the fortress. You can also see many old buildings, such as temples, ancestral halls, schools, and shops. 🏰 The fortress is also a living museum, where you can see the local culture and lifestyle. You can see some traditional performances, such as lion dances and drumming. You can also taste some local delicacies, such as seafood, tofu, and rice cakes. 🎂 🎊 🍜 The Shenzhen Dapeng Fortress is a perfect place to visit for anyone who loves history and culture. It’s a place where you can learn about the past and enjoy the present. #tripblazers #本地遊 #shenzhen #urbanexplorer #mytripvlog #china
