I really like the romantic ancient town of Shawan in Guangzhou, a perfect retreat from the world

◾️｜Shawan Ancient Town ·Spring is always the best time to visit Guangzhou. It's neither cold nor hot. The blooming sea of flowers makes this southern city even more romantic. If you're traveling to Guangzhou and want to experience the culture of a Lingnan ancient town without the crowds of popular tourist spots, I recommend this lesser-known, quaint retreat: Shawan Ancient Town. ·Shawan Ancient Town is located in the Panyu District of Guangzhou. It has a history of 800 years and is a town with distinctive Lingnan cultural characteristics. The ancient town has preserved about 400 ancient buildings from the Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods, which are of great value for appreciation. After years of development, whether it's for tourism, photography, or street wandering, the facilities have become more and more complete. The town is also very suitable for experiencing Lingnan culture. ️Attractions: Hanfu and various ethnic costumes experience, walking and photography, specialty coffee and tea brewing experience, shopping, and more...
