Fengjian Water Town is located at the northern end of Xingtang Town, Shunde District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, covering an area of 5.2 square kilometers. It is one of the four major water towns in Guangdong and is known as the 'Little Zhouzhuang' of Guangdong. As one of the early settlements in Shunde, Fengjian's history can be traced back to the Western Han Dynasty, and it later developed into a market. Before the Jiading era of the Southern Song Dynasty, ancestors had migrated to this area to live and gradually formed a village. Fengjian Water Town is home to many cultural relics and historic sites, among which the more famous ones are the Mingyuan Bridge, which was built during the Song Dynasty and is a cultural relic protection unit of Guangdong Province, and the Liu's Ancestral Hall, which was built during the Ming Dynasty and is also a cultural relic protection unit of Guangdong Province. In addition, there are Foshan municipal cultural relic protection units such as the Jujie Bridge, the Jinao Bridge built by the Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty, and the Jinguigui bestowed by the Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty.
