Location & How to Get There

V Valley Land is tucked away in the Gankong Hakka Town within Longgang District of Shenzhen, Guangdong Province. It’s part of the OCT (Overseas Chinese Town) group’s cultural projects, so you’ll find it near the popular Gankong Old Town. To reach here, take Metro Line 10 to Gankong Station—it’s a 10-minute walk (or a quick shuttle ride) from the station. If driving, plug in “OCT Gankong Hakka Town” into your GPS; there’s plenty of parking.

Natural Scenery: A Blend of Valley & Urban Vibes

Nestled in a valley, V Valley Land feels like a mini escape from the city. Think rolling hills, bamboo forests, and a winding stream that cuts through the park. The layout follows the natural terrain, so you’ll climb gentle slopes, cross wooden bridges, and spot wildflowers depending on the season. At night, lanterns light up the paths, creating a cozy, almost magical atmosphere.

Cultural Highlights: Hakka Heritage Meets Modern Fun

This place isn’t just about nature—it’s packed with Hakka culture! Explore traditional客家围屋 (Hakka fortress houses) turned into cafes or museums. You’ll see colorful paper umbrellas hanging along streets, and local artisans sell hand-painted fans or bamboo crafts. Don’t miss the Hakka food stalls—try “clay pot chicken” or rice noodles with wild herbs. Even the playgrounds have a cultural twist: some rides are designed like ancient village carts!

Rides & Activities: Something for Everyone

V Valley Land isn’t just scenic—it’s got plenty of playful vibes too. There’s a mix of low-key attractions (perfect for kids) and thrilling ones (like a zip line over the valley). My favorite? The water-wheel swing that spins you over a pond, and the VR adventure zone that lets you explore digital dinosaur worlds. For chillaxing, rent a bike to loop around the valley or grab a coffee at the hilltop pavilion with Instagram-worthy views.

Dining & Relaxation: Fuel Up in Style

After exploring, head to the food court near the entrance. It’s got everything from dumplings to bubble tea. For something fancier, try the rooftop restaurant overlooking the valley—great for sunset photos! Parents: there’s a clean nursing room, and kids will love the candy-colored rest areas. Pro tip: Bring cash for small vendors, but bigger spots take mobile payments.

Practical Tips for Your Visit

  • Best time to go: Weekdays (weekends get crowded) or spring/autumn (mild weather).
  • Tickets: Buy online for discounts; some areas are free, but rides require a pass.
  • Footwear: Wear comfy shoes—there’s a lot of walking on uneven paths.
  • Hidden gem: The lotus pond near Zone 3 blooms in summer; it’s super peaceful.

Whether you’re a history buff, nature lover, or just looking for a fun day trip, V Valley Land has layers to discover. It’s the kind of place where you can snap a trendy photo one minute and watch a traditional dance performance the next. Trust me, it’s way more than just another theme park—it’s a blend of old China and modern Shenzhen charm!
