At this 300-year-old village, rows of quaint black-and-white houses exuding a modest, func-
tional elegance unique to Hakka architecture are occupied by the workshops and galleries of
printmaking artists from China and overseas. The village, with its tree-lined paths and lotus
ponds, is open all day, but the galleries keep different hours. The journey from downtown
Shēnzhèn takes about 1½ hours.
