Shenzhen Museum of History and Folk Culture

Why go

The museum’s Ancient Shenzhen, Modern Shenzhen and Shenzhen Folk Culture displays give the city a longer timeline than its Special Economic Zone skyline suggests. Move through the floors in order and compare the objects and everyday scenes with the streets outside. It is a useful first stop before Nantou or Shekou, where parts of that history become visible on foot.

What to look for

• Ancient Shenzhen and Modern Shenzhen rooms trace the city's timeline.
• Folk Culture displays show aspects of local life.
• The museum occupies part of Futian Civic Center.

Useful to know

• Start on the top floor and work downward, as the museum recommends.
• Choose the Ancient Shenzhen, Modern Shenzhen and Folk Culture galleries if time is limited.
