Since the city was built in the early Ming Dynasty, Dapengsuo City has been responsible for the maritime defense security of the Shenzhen and Hong Kong areas, and has repeatedly resisted and resisted the invasion of Portuguese, Chinese and British colonialists. It is one of the main maritime defense fortresses in the Ming and Qing Dynasties to resist foreign aggression and defend sovereignty. It is one of the military castles in the Ming and Qing Dynasties that are relatively complete.
I found a teahouse in the city to order tea. I learned about tea in the Song Dynasty. I learned about tea culture in depth. As the tea stirred up the tea foam, the taste was different every time. I tasted tea and felt the culture of intangible heritage.
Dapengsuo City was built in Ming Hongwu in 27 years (1394 AD), and was a military fortress for coastal defense in South China during the Ming and Qing dynasties. Shenzhen is now known as the "Pengcheng" from here. In the Ming Dynasty, there were many well-known generals, such as General Wuluo Liu Zhong, Lai's "three generations and five generals", so there is also the reputation of "general village". Today, Dapengsuo City still retains antique city gates, city buildings, ancient streets and ancient houses. Here you can see many former generals' houses, as well as military-related cultural relics in the sea defense, which is a good place to understand modern military history.
Free tickets, very good, worth a visit, the play time is estimated to be about two hours. Remind you to pay attention to one, there is a name hand bead in the attraction 5 yuan, not only the name two or three 5 yuan, but to add beads, 15 yuan a, a bracelet down 200 yuan bottom, more three or four hundred, said it is not too cheating, because he did not tell you how much the beads are before Gapeizhu, So there is a suspicion of fraud. I originally thought about the epidemic for three years, which has a great impact on the scenic spot. I took care of the business with a compassion, but these merchants don’t care about your sympathy. In their eyes, they saw a fat sheep... Originally excellent attractions, Because of the unscrupulous merchants, I hope the scenic spot can be rectified and do not leave a bad impression on tourists!
Dapeng Suocheng: Dapeng Suocheng is called "Dapeng Shouyu Qianhu Suocheng", which was established in the Ming Dynasty to fight the war. Shenzhen's alias "Pengcheng" originated from this. Here you can still see many former generals' houses, residential buildings, city walls and military-related cultural relics in the sea defense. Compared with other ancient towns in Shenzhen, I think it has a more historical charm, it is far from the bustling and busy city center, and it also looks leisurely and quiet.
