    Ever since Gankeng Hakka Town was renamed Gankeng Ancient Town, its distinctiveness vanished instantly. I wonder if this marks a turning point in the decline of its investor, OCT Culture & Tourism, perhaps led astray by someone in charge who has no respect for traditional (Hakka) culture.

      But then again, almost all 'ancient towns' across the country are like this now.

        So, are there any other places in Shenzhen actually worth visiting?

          Yes, there are still some, mostly in the Pingshan and Dapeng areas.

            I went yesterday, and it's actually pretty good for taking photos.

                    Excuse me, are you some kind of 'special forces' tourist? What's your codename?
