Wen Heyou expanded from Changsha to Shenzhen in 2021 with a Cantonese twist: same retro 1980s-village interiors, but local seafood and Pearl River Delta cuisine instead of Hunan. The 5-story restaurant complex in Nanshan's Coastal City is more theme park than restaurant — wood-frame village houses, neon signs, vintage bicycles, fake rain. Specialties: stuffed crab in turmeric sauce, ginger-shrimp pots, traditional Cantonese roast goose. Reservation by Trip.com or WeChat mini-program; weekend waits without reservation run 2-3 hours. Worth it for first-time-in-Shenzhen tourists who want both food and spectacle in one stop. Pricing: 100-200 RMB per person.
