Dawan Shiju Hakka Walled House
大万世居
A large Qing-dynasty Hakka walled house in Pingshan District, with a square enclosure wall, corner watchtowers and rows of halls. It is one of the best-preserved Hakka walled houses in Shenzhen.
Dawan Shiju is located in Pingshan Subdistrict, Pingshan District. Construction began during the Qianlong era of the Qing dynasty. It is a square Hakka walled house built by members of the Zeng clan, covering about 15,000 square meters. The outer area includes a moat-like crescent pond, enclosing walls and four corner watchtowers. Inside are an ancestral hall and hundreds of rooms, all laid out with great precision. It is a provincial-level cultural heritage site. Admission is free, though this may vary, so check on site. It is one of the representative Hakka walled houses in Shenzhen, together with Hehu New House in Longgang, so the two can be visited on the same day. A taxi from Pingshan Station takes about 10 minutes.
