Go to a place with wind

Shawan Ancient Town | A windy place in Guangzhou Located in the western part of Panyu, Guangzhou, Shawan Ancient Town is an ancient Lingnan cultural town with a history of over eight hundred years. As a national historical and cultural town, it boasts a wealth of tangible and intangible cultural heritage, serving as a 'museum' of Cantonese folk culture. It is rich in historical and cultural resources and is renowned for its folk art in the south. The ancient village layout of 'stone steps and alleys' in Shawan Ancient Town is well-preserved, and a large number of ancient buildings from the Ming, Qing, and Republic of China periods are retained. There are about 60 ancient ancestral halls in the town, with Liugeng Hall as a typical example, as well as a large number of ancient buildings such as one-tube bamboo houses, three-room two-corridor houses, wok-ear houses, tall buildings, Western-style residences, and freestyle folk houses. As the 'hometown of folk sculpture' in Guangdong Province, Shawan Ancient Town has preserved a large number of exquisite artworks in brick carving, wood carving, stone carving, plaster sculpture, and murals, all with a strong Lingnan artistic style. Tickets: The ancient town is free to enter, and taking photos is completely sufficient. Those who like to learn about history can purchase a joint ticket for the exhibition halls for 40 yuan. Attraction recommendations: 1. Liugeng Hall 2. Shawan Folk Culture Expo Hall 3. Academician He Binglin Memorial Hall 4. Shawan Guangdong Music Hall 5. Sanren Hall 6. He Shiliang Art Museum 7. Cliff Cypress Art Museum The 'Queen of Shawan Cows' is definitely worth a try, and having a bowl of cold double-skin milk on a hot day is just too comfortable. There are also a lot of shops selling hairpins here, offering a one-stop service for makeup and photography, and it's also a great place to take photos in Hanfu. Sony A7C2 - THE END -
