Gankeng Ancient Town Cherry Blossom Guide

Recently, I visited Gankeng Ancient Town in Shenzhen. This place not only boasts ancient-style architecture and rich Hakka culture but also hides a stunning cherry blossom secret! The most impressive spots are the cherry blossom grove in front of the Phoenix Hakka Hotel and the beautiful cherry blossoms along the riverbanks within the town. ### Cherry Blossoms in Front of Phoenix Hakka Hotel Phoenix Hakka Hotel is a hotel full of Hakka charm in Gankeng Ancient Town, and the cherry blossom grove in front of the hotel is truly mesmerizing. The cherry trees are neatly arranged, with pink and white petals falling gently like a romantic cherry blossom rain. Standing under the cherry trees and looking up, you see a sea of pink flowers, complemented by the traditional architecture of the ancient town, as if you have traveled back to an ancient poetic painting. Whether you are taking photos or quietly admiring the view, you can feel the beauty and tranquility of spring here. Especially in the early morning or evening, when the sunlight shines on the cherry blossoms, the interplay of light and shadow is breathtaking. ### Beautiful Cherry Blossoms Along the Riverbanks Besides the Phoenix Hakka Hotel, the riverbanks within Gankeng Ancient Town are also lined with cherry trees. Walking along the river, cherry petals gently fall onto the water surface, with the river reflecting the pink flower shadows, creating a flowing painting. The ancient buildings along the riverbanks and the cherry blossoms complement each other, showcasing both the charm of the ancient town and the vitality of spring. This place is perfect for couples or families to stroll and enjoy the romantic atmosphere brought by the cherry blossoms. If you love photography, this is definitely an excellent spot for capturing beautiful scenes! ### Tips - Best Viewing Time: The cherry blossoms are in full bloom from late February to mid-March each year. It is recommended to avoid the weekend peak and visit on weekdays for a more peaceful flower-viewing experience. - Outfit Suggestions: Wearing Hanfu or light-colored clothes will match better with the cherry blossoms and the ancient town background, making your photos look even better! - Nearby Food: Gankeng Ancient Town has many Hakka specialty snacks, such as Hakka stuffed tofu and braised pork with preserved vegetables.
