Light and shadow are used to depict stories of the past and the future on the walls of an old village market in the coastal city of Shenzhen, south China's Guangdong Province. The exteriors of old row houses and watchtowers become curtains and screens for a dazzling light show exploring the stories of a century-old Hakka bazaar. 

Known as Guanlan Ancient Market, it is recognized as one of Shenzhen's four ancient markets, having earned the nickname "Little Hong Kong." As the largest Hakka-style building complex in Shenzhen, it has 213 ancient buildings. Visitors can enjoy the light show at various locations in the market from 8 p.m. nightly.
