Nantou Ancient City

Invited to Experience a Remarkable and Revealing History of Shenzhen, China,

History: Nantou Ancient City 1600 years ago

Nantou Ancient City & Museum: I had no idea of this and have been coming to Shenzhen several years previously, all within the confines of the city and 30 mins metro ride, from the moment of arriving at the Main gate, I had this uncanny feeling I was about to experience the Unexpected

A Historic Village and Battlement, leading to a huge park where you find the founder and staunch Leader of the ROC [Republic Of China] Protection Movement and more,

Walking Back In Time and History

the New locals I encountered seemed detached from the Shenzhen modern lifestyle, with this look of deep curiosity to new faces, a stayed lifestyle yet fastidious and hardworking going about their business on motorised carts and cycles in familiar environment. Almost like ”Chinatown” in China, very peculiar yet fascinating at the same time.

 

Hand Over of Hong Kong:

 

The British Empire In Shenzhen, Agreement was struck and exchange Documents ensued, now HONK KONG is ruled and governed by Britain for 100 years

Notarized and Signed Documents below: in Chinese Hanzi and English of course.

 

Opium Trading +War: British Introduction and Business

China was introduced to the Opium by Great Britain, This Social setting Couch was used by men to enjoy the Product in groups, lounging the days maybe even nights away from home.

 

Opium Use in China began with good intentions for medicinal purposes during the 7th century. However later on, the 17th century practice of mixing opium with smoking of tobacco spread from Southeast Asia, Generating incredible Supply and Demand.

Chinese authorities reissued the prohibition in 1799, Rejection its use finally as it became a major problem in society with misuse, lethargy, dysfunction to a social society

Salt Production and Manufacturing Early Days

In Chinese society and culture salt is an intrinsic commodity and heavily used in foods. Being one of the “seven necessities of life”.

 

Nantou City – Gates & Lifestyle

The Newer Buildings are homes of the migrant workers to Shenzhen from everywhere in china, they are primarily uneducated and farm hands but with hard-working altitude and make money mindset.

These Buildings around the City and Museum area are owned by the true locals of past generations, these landlords have rented out their properties to Shenzhen folks and are living either in Hong Kong of abroad, as I understand.

Safety in the area is no different to other places you find in developing china, and as it is in the central city area the government have attention on its Policing and effect on the city respectability, so loads of work on roads and infrastructure in and around this area is currently in progress,

The Park and walkways are security surveillance by well distributed cameras, adding value to the environment and residents

NANTOU CITY HISTORIC LIFESTYLE AND ROADS

 

A Collection of Four Gates:

Entrances or access points to this Ancient Historic City, only one Gate remains Intact, the others have been Damaged and neglected over time, only the South Gate remains intact,

Perhaps not an important aspect of the society of Shenzhen of the modern generation, however the Government have put efforts to regain its values and much work is now in place to rejuvenate as I witness and understand.
