Many people don't know that in the northern suburbs of Shenzhen, there is a peaceful and peaceful village, like a paradise in the downtown of Shenzhen. This is Guanlan Printmaking Village. Guanlan Printmaking Village was originally a 300-year-old Hakka house village and the former residence of the famous printmaker Mr. Chen Yanqiao. In 2006, it was transformed into a national original printmaking industry base by the artist, and became a tourist attraction for art and leisure.

The environment of the printmaking village is elegant and quaint. The cyan stone bricks, gray tiles, and mottled walls casually outline a peaceful and peaceful scene. The weather-beaten watchtowers are shrouded in greenery around them, and the reflections printed in the water are still faintly visible, making them even more secluded. On rainy days, water from the eaves drip down the tiles and onto the ground, making the mossy stone pavement even more slippery. The whole village is filled with smoke and water, and walking in it is like walking into a traditional Chinese ink painting.

There is no doubt that the best thing for Guanlan Printmaking Village is to take pictures. Old doorknobs, well-designed door plates, and ancient wells in the shape of gossip are all details that cannot be missed. The building provides people with the texture of the years, and people add aura to the building. In summer, the pink water lilies bloom in the pond next to the village, and the lilac silver velvet wild peony swaying in the wind by the pond is even more picturesque. Retro style, literary style, Republic of China style, small freshness, can be integrated with this white wall and gray tile, a unique style.

The layman looks at the bustle, and the insider looks at the doorway. If you are a young man who loves art, you can also go to the painting boat or studio to see the art exhibition, or sit down to have a cup of coffee, go to the pottery workshop to learn how to make pottery, and maybe you can meet painters and teachers and students of the Academy of Fine Arts to paint and communicate here. If you are tired of the hustle and bustle of the city, you might as well go to the Peach Blossom Creek next to the printmaking village to pick strawberries, star fruit, lettuce and other fruits and vegetables, and experience the fun of farming.

The area of Guanlan Printmaking Village is not large, and it can be completed in an hour. But such a view will make you unconsciously slow down and forget the flow of time. The only problem is that it is too far away, and it takes about an hour to drive from the city center. But it is also because of this that there are not too many tourists there, maintaining its peaceful atmosphere.
