Hehu New Residence (Longgang Hakka Folk Museum)
Hehu New Residence encapsulates a thousand years of Hakka charm and also carries the long-standing Hakka culture. The decorative style within Hehu New Residence appears to have a strong local cultural characteristic. It is said that Shenzhen has always been a gathering place for Hakka people, not only having a rich Hakka culture but also influencing the local people's customs and habits. To this day, Hakka traditions are still passed down, making Hakka culture truly a 'local culture.' Hehu New Residence can be said to be the largest in scale in our country, inheriting the traditional Hakka culture.
The focus of the Guan Shanyue Art Museum is not the exhibits inside. For a student who loves architectural design, the shape of the building is even more eye-catching. Sharp geometric shapes, large glass curtain walls, and interspersed volumes make it one of the architectural works that an architecture student should collect.
Design Society
The first museum in China themed around design. The V&A Gallery is a collaboration with the UK's V&A Museum, showcasing the value of design to visitors. The Digital Dimensions Gallery demonstrates the impact of digitalization on design. Overall, it's worth a visit!
Hua Art Museum
Shenzhen Art Museum is the earliest art exhibition institution in Shenzhen that provides comprehensive services for professional artists, the general public, and art enthusiasts. Through the 'cultural window' of the Special Economic Zone, Shenzhen Art Museum has promoted art exchanges at home and abroad through various activities. Shenzhen Art Museum focuses on 'contemporary urban art and local art,' establishing academic goals and promoting the development of urban art in China and local art in Shenzhen, thus creating a good image for the museum. The collections in Shenzhen Art Museum are deeply loved by tourists and can be considered a highlight of the museum. Additionally, Shenzhen Art Museum frequently hosts exhibitions, inviting numerous artists to Shenzhen, playing a key role in connecting cultural exchanges between mainland China and Hong Kong and Macau.
Nanshan Museum is a high-quality local museum where everything is well-maintained and organized. The museum is free to enter and is open from 10 AM to 6 PM. Regular exhibitions are about the past and future of Nanshan, and they always have other exhibitions, all of which are free. This museum is great because it has spacious interiors, giving you plenty of room to read the content without disturbance. All descriptions in Chinese and English are well translated. The staff here continuously assist visitors and frequently clean the glass, so you can always see the exhibits clearly. I hope they maintain their high standards and add interactive exhibits so that children can also enjoy their visit.
Sun Mountain Art Center
On the first floor hall, there is a century-old dilapidated wall. This wall is part of the local Hakka architecture, now preserved and becoming the highlight of the Sun Mountain Art Center. On one side of the front yard is a '7'-shaped coffee gallery, with art pieces by Mr. Chen Qiu Zhi hanging on the corridor walls.
Huaxia Yingjie Calligraphy and Painting Museum

You can also choose to take a leisurely walk in the courtyard.
