Brief introduction of Hakka town in Gankeng

The Hakka town of Gankeng is a very special building group in the south. In high-rise Shenzhen, this small town full of classical charm is still preserved, providing a good place for citizens to relax and light up on weekends. Here, I would like to share with you the detailed play strategy of Gankeng, a Hakka town.

Walking in the unique ancient residential buildings formed by Hakka row houses and Hakka enclosed houses in Gankeng, you can see all kinds of plants full of vitality and different postures in front of and behind the houses, as well as fresh and literary shop names.

I also saw the Diaojiao Building, the ancient artillery building, the Champion House, the Phoenix Valley, the Shenzhen Diaolou and other distinctive buildings. People can't help but think of Gulangyu Island in Xiamen.

The Hakka town of Gankeng in Shenzhen, which originated in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, is located in Gankeng Village, Buji New District, Longgang District, Shenzhen, and is one of the top ten Hakka ancient villages in Shenzhen.

From 2065438 to July 2007, the Hakka town of Gankeng was selected as the first batch of national-level cultural tourism characteristic towns.

Gankeng is surrounded by mountains and waters, with dense springs and clear and sweet streams, so it is called Gankeng.

It is said that no matter where the ancestors of Hakkas work, they will find springs. When they are tired, they can scoop up springs to quench their thirst.

It used to be really a land of feng shui. When you are away from home, you can solve the problem of thirst without bringing water. Today, you can still see many water sources here, but I don't know if the water here can still be drunk directly.

1. Walking into Hakka dwellings

The Hakka townhouses here are connected together, unlike the independent old houses we usually see. The alleys here are all connected. You walk along an alley, and when you come to the end, you will see another alley nearby. Walking here, we don't have to worry about going into a dead end and not getting out.

The houses here are of different heights and patchwork. Walking here, you can not only see many flowers and plants in front of and behind the house, but also see many colorful plants planted in wooden containers on the walls and roofs, as if you had entered the botanical garden.

There are many kinds of flowers and plants here, such as oleander, azalea, crape myrtle, Zhu Jin, chlorophytum, green radish and so on. How many worlds should there be here?

People who live here should be happy, because you can enjoy all kinds of beautiful and lovely flowers and plants just a few steps away. Life with flowers and grass is always full of hope and beauty.

2. Jiangnan Lake, pavilions, diaojiao building, bar street.

The water in the landscape lake is crystal clear, the lotus leaves are green, and the lotus flowers are colorful and graceful, which is really pleasing to the eye. The lake is surrounded by green trees, and all kinds of flowers on the trees are blooming brilliantly. The diaojiao building with Lijiang charm by the lake complements the beautiful bar street.

There are also many pavilions with Jiangnan charm, starting with another name of Gankeng Village. Gankeng Village is also called Feizi Village because of a legendary story.

According to legend, during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, the daughter of the hereditary village head of Gankeng Village studied and lived in a relative's house in Fu Jia, Suzhou. This girl is not only beautiful, but also knowledgeable in poetry, chess, calligraphy and painting.

One day, a girl was playing the guzheng at a relative's house. The wonderful music attracted Gan Long who was visiting Suzhou incognito at that time. Gan Long was deeply moved by the beauty and talent of the girl. Later, he sent someone to take the girl into the palace to be a concubine.

The village chief was very happy and changed the name of the village to "Feizi Village". In order to commemorate this concubine, the villagers in Gankeng built many pavilions with Jiangnan charm here.

3. Gankeng specialties-Hakka cool hat, hakka yellow rice wine, Hakka salted noodles, brine chicken, etc.

The unique Hakka cool hat is made of thin bamboo strips and straw, and all kinds of colorful cloth are hung around it. Unmarried girls will also weave two ribbons at both ends of the hanging cloth. Therefore, the sign of judging whether a Hakka girl is married is to see whether the cool hat she wears is decorated with ribbons.

In Gankeng, you can not only taste and buy hakka yellow rice wine, Hakka instant noodles, salted chicken and other special foods, but also visit Gankeng Museum, creative art exhibition hall, ceramic art museum, cool hat art exhibition hall and so on.

4. Phoenix Valley with pleasant scenery.

After entering from the entrance of Phoenix Valley, it suddenly became clear, the sky was high and the clouds were light, and the hills in the distance were lush. You can always meet colorful and beautiful flowers when you walk on the road. The stream on the roadside is crystal clear, and the red dragonfly sometimes stays comfortably on the plants in the water, and sometimes dances among various aquatic plants.

The fish in the stream swim freely, breathing exceptionally fresh air. I think the fish here should be lucky, because unlike the fish in the sea, they are often eaten by large animals such as sharks; Unlike captive fish, they are not free and are in danger of being suffocated or starved to death.

Being in such an environment with clear weather, sparse bamboo forests, contrasting springs and stones, and green trees and red flowers everywhere, people will feel refreshed and forget the noise of the city for the time being.

Travel notes of Hakka town in Gankeng;

My favorite is the Family Style Family Training Hall, which is on the third floor of the Diaojiao Building behind the comprehensive building. Walking in is the sculpture of Confucius, an ancient saint in China. I have great respect for this saint and have no hesitation in taking a photo with him.

There are family precepts of ancient China literati and heroes, such as Laozi, Mozi, Zhu, Zeng Guofan, and many genealogies.

Fortunately, I have Shen Shi's genealogy, and my surname is the same. You can dig up your ancestors if you are not careful. It seems that I really should get out more.

The most amazing thing is that the layout of ancient buildings in China is exquisite, the buildings are densely distributed, and the passages and corridors are in line with human nature, cohesive and not crowded;

The architectural design is magnificent, reflecting the harmony and tranquility of China culture everywhere;

The exquisite skills of craftsmen are displayed here in an unobstructed view. The magnificent and complex buildings are all tenon-mortise structures, which fully embodies the craftsman spirit of the old craftsmen and the hardworking and dedicated spirit of the Chinese nation.

Shuttling through the picturesque and Hakka-style town, the smell of delicious food comes to the nose, which makes people have to mention all kinds of delicious food here, including snacks in Taiwan Province Province, Hakka cakes, stinky tofu from Changsha, and even attractive slogans on signboards and provocative shouts from shopkeepers.

Unable to resist the temptation of delicious food, we walked into a Hakka-style restaurant and ordered Hakka kiln chicken and traditional side dishes. It tastes good, especially the skin of kiln chicken is tender and greasy, which really laments the wisdom and hard work of Hakka people and does not forget to appreciate the delicious food.

A Hakka town vividly interprets Hakka culture. It never occurred to me that Shenzhen, a city with a fast pace of life and modern prosperity, and such a quiet paradise full of China culture and reflecting a slow life are good places for us to live and rest.
