Nantou Ancient Town is located at the end of Shennan Avenue in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, presenting a street pattern of "six verticals and one horizontal". This is the only historical and cultural carrier in Shenzhen, as well as a valuable relic of the ancient Lingnan culture. It has witnessed the changes of Shenzhen since the Eastern Jin Dynasty and is considered to be the "root of Shenzhen-Hong Kong history and culture".
Nantou Ancient Town has always been preferred among designers with its long history, rich culture and special urban texture. Whenever a major historical event occurs, Nantou Ancient Town would go through some history tracing and reforming—8 new antique buildings were built when Hong Kong returned to China in 1997; the main streets were greatly and newly decorated at the 2011 Shenzhen Universiade; and buildings were well integrated with arts at the 2017 Bi-city Biennale of UrbanismArchitecture (Shenzhen). In March 2019, the Nanshan District Government launched the "Nirvana and Rebirth Plan" for Nantou Ancient Town, which was implemented by Vanke Group, and the L&A Design Team was also fortunate to participate in it.
