Xin'an (Nantou) Ancient City/新安(南头)古城
This is the original county town for the county which originally encompassed Hong Kong and Shenzhen. There has been a town on this site since the fourth century. Much of the old town has been demolished and replaced by eight storey residential buildings in the urban village style, but Xin'an has still maintained the flavour of a Cantonese town throughout the ages with vibrant street life along narrow streets. The Ming Dynasty wall and gate remain magnificently preserved as do the Guan Yu Temple outside the gates, the naval and civil headquarters, a silver shop, an opium den and even a brothel. Visit the eighteenth century Flower Street or street of brothels, a narrow alley with an eighteenth century official stele denouncing the evils of prostitution.

How to go there:
By taxi: I would say it's best to get off at ShenNan Dadao/Nanxin Lu (深南大道/南新路). There is a foot bridge crossing Shennan Dadao and you should spot the GuanDi Temple/关帝庙 across the street from where you can see the South Gate of Xin'an already.
By metro: Get off at Taoyuan station (Line 1, Luobao line, green) and use Exit A or B. From there you have to walk towards north along Nanhai Ave, cross Shennan Dadao on the footbridge you see first in my video and continue to walk another 5 minutes from there along Nanhai Ave till you reach the East Gate on your left hand side.

Los ultimos lugares de cultura y patrimonio cantoneses restantes en Hong Kong y Shenzhen.

CHINA'S ANCIENT BEACH CITY!
Welcome to 大鹏，深圳 (Dapeng, Shenzhen)! Here's snippets of a little trip away from Huizhou to one of China's ancient fortified towns, by the beach! Originally the settlement was a small town then later fortified to protect residents from pirate attacks hundreds of years ago! It really was a maze of alleyways- with hidden little doors and archways to explore.
Love to all! x

How does China’s young generation interpreter national spirit?
The ancient Greek philosopher Socrates said: “The unexamined life is not worth living.” It has been 40 years since China’s reform and opening up, and it’s timely for us to examine the development of our life and our nation. So, what do we mean when we talk about the Chinese national spirit? What are the contemporary challenges and opportunities in its development? And what’s the relationship between traditional Chinese values and the modern national spirit?

VOA's Bill Ide visited Wenzhou for a look at how the reforms are working.
