Guanlan Original Printmaking Base
观澜版画村
A printmaking art village in Longhua District, converted from a Hakka ancient village. Green-brick watchtowers, ponds and printmaking studios come together in a quiet, old-fashioned setting.
Guanlan Original Printmaking Base is located in Dashuitian Village, Guanlan Subdistrict, Longhua District. It is the hometown of printmaker Chen Yanqiao. The village retains Qing-dynasty Hakka houses, watchtowers and ponds. It is home to the China Printmaking Museum and the Guanlan International Printmaking Base, with artist studios, exhibition halls and hands-on printmaking workshops. The old village is free to enter, and most exhibitions at the printmaking museum are free as well. The museum is closed on Mondays. It is a great place for photos, art viewing and a leisurely stroll, and a visit takes about 1–2 hours. It is quite far from the city center, so take Metro Line 4 to Niuhu Station and transfer to a bus, or take a taxi.
