Namely the east gate of Shenzhen city, dated back to a few decades ago when Shenzhen was small and undeveloped. Now it has become a famous shopping area, the so-called pedestrian street from where you could collect lots of thing, clothes, shoes, suitcase,etc. And lots of restaurants have been set up to greet many visitors.
I was once passing by this youth hostel and couldn't resist the temptation to go in to have a look! It provides a neat but fashionable environment which is especially suitable for young people who traveling for sightseeing with a peaceful heart.
Most of the watchtowers have 5-6 floors, there aren't patios or any other decorations from the bottom to the second top; in that way, no one can climb in the house; each floor has a small window so even though they can climb, the people inside can throw stones or gun shoot to force the enemies to step back. The top level has the most incredible western design. As people who pay for the construction settled down oversea, they got used to the western building and western lives. They demanded to build a castle-like watchtower. I am very proud of our ancestors, because the local builders had never been outside the country, they looked at the postcard mailed from oversea, and inspired to make such a piece of art.

The photographers would become hectic!
