Gankeng Ancient Town (甘坑古镇) is a restored Hakka village in Jihua Subdistrict, Longgang District, Shenzhen, developed since 2016 by OCT (华侨城) as the Gankeng Hakka Town and run as a national 3A-rated scenic area by Shenzhen OCT Cultural and Creative Investment Co., Ltd. (深圳华侨城文创投资有限公司). At New Year 2026 it introduced the AI digital human 李白 (Li Bai), built on the NuwaAI digital-human platform: on a large screen beside the 南香楼 he recites poetry, sings, performs stand-up comedy and talks with visitors in real time. The town received more than 130,000 visits over the three-day holiday, up 113% year on year. For May Day 2026 李白 returned in a 2.0 version, joined by three Longgang local digital IPs in a contest show for the town’s ‘chief recommender’, and the holiday drew close to 180,000 visitors.
