Twenty-Four Histories Academy – A Fancy Place Full of Chinese Culture and Great for Photos

If you’re into Chinese culture or just love to take beautiful pictures, you should check out the Twenty-Four Histories Academy (二十四史书院) in Shenzhen. It’s inside the north part of Gankeng Ancient Town (甘坑古镇), in Longgang District.

The place covers around 30,000 square meters—not super huge like a theme park, but big enough to walk around slowly and enjoy the traditional vibe. It’s beautifully designed with classic Chinese architecture—red walls, wooden halls, curved roofs, and peaceful gardens. You’ll often see people wearing Hanfu (traditional Chinese clothing) and taking amazing photos here.

It’s a peaceful and elegant place, very different from the busy city outside. If you’re already planning to visit Gankeng Ancient Town, don’t miss this lovely cultural spot!
