Recently, the Man Coffee Camp, which was opened in 1979 in Xiangmi Lake, Shenzhen, was permanently closed due to building demolition, causing a wave of memories among local netizens.

It is understood that Shenzhen Xiangmi Lake 1979 is a neighborhood that has gradually developed since the opening of Xiangmi Lake China Entertainment City in 1985. Shenzhen residents recalled that at that time, Xiangmi Lake China Entertainment City attracted a large number of citizens and tourists to check in with entertainment facilities such as roller coasters and Ferris wheels, so that it once became one of the most lively neighborhoods in Shenzhen.

Later, in 2011, Xiangmi Lake China Entertainment City was suspended due to poor management. Xiangmi Lake 1979 gradually transformed into an area dominated by catering and leisure, becoming a familiar "food resort" to Shenzhen people. Man Coffee entered Xiangmi Lake 1979 in August 2015.

According to surrounding citizens, this Man Coffee Store is a three-story single-family building. Due to its superior geographical location and conspicuous appearance, it has become a landmark building in the area after entering Xiangmi Lake in 1979. In the 10 years of operation, there has been an endless stream of consumers coming to the store to enjoy coffee meals and study in the office. On holidays such as Christmas, the store is replaced with festive decorations that attract a large number of young people to the store to take photos and check in.

Therefore, after hearing that this Manshi coffee was about to close down, many Shenzhen netizens pulled out old photos they had taken in the store on their mobile phones and shared the fond memories they had left here on social platforms: the first cup of coffee they drank, the first waffle they tasted, the first contract they signed, the birthday party they had with friends, the proposal scene they witnessed, etc.

Many regular customers posted the store's iconic bear "order menu", saying that when there is no mobile phone payment, the customer will get a bear doll from the waiter after ordering, and then the clerk will distribute drinks and meals according to different styles of bear dolls. To bluntly say that this unique order service is very interesting and impressive.

With the rapid development of the city, today's Xiangmi Lake 1979 has become dilapidated. Some Shenzhen netizens said that a few years ago there was gossip that Xiangmi Lake 1979 was about to be demolished and renovated, but it was not until this year that the local government gave a specific announcement confirming that the once-lively Xiangmi Lake 1979 was about to become urban history.

As a result, merchants that originally operated here have been withdrawing one after another. This 10-year-old Man Coffee shop is no exception. Shortly after the relevant announcement was released, a countdown to the store's closure was posted. Looking at the bear dolls placed on the table, which are exactly like memories, and then looking back at the Christmas decorations decorated in advance in the store, the regular customers couldn't hide their reluctance and regret for this old coffee shop full of warm memories, and bluntly said that the memories of a generation will eventually disappear with the passage of time.

Due to this unforgettable feeling, on the eve of the store's closure, the brightly lit three-story single-family coffee shop welcomed a large number of customers checking in. Long queues lined up at the ordering table, and the store was even packed.

Netizens who traveled thousands of miles to the store raised their mobile phones to take photos to commemorate them, leaving the old coffee shop that had accompanied them in the photo album, lamenting that once this 10-year-old store was closed, there would be no more coffee in Shenzhen.
