Question: I like ancient villages very much. I heard that there is a Julong Village in Guangzhou. The buildings inside are very unique. Where is its specific address?

What's fun inside?

Answer: Julong Village is an administrative village under the jurisdiction of Jianggao Town, Baiyun District, Guangzhou City.

Located outside the intersection of Guangqing Expressway, West Second Ring Road and North Second Ring Road, it is surrounded by expressways on all sides. The total area of ??the village is about 1 square kilometer.

You get off at the Dachongkou bus station in Fangcun, then walk into Xinghua Community, walk to the river, and walk along the river until you are there.

Travel Tip 1: Sightseeing Among the 19 preserved houses in Julong Village, houses No. 16, 17, 18, and 19 have been designated as key cultural relics protection units in Guangzhou, and their internal structures are the most completely preserved.

These buildings are all made of blue brick, stone and wood. The entrances are equipped with waist doors, latches and thick wooden doors, which are quite similar to the Xiguan House.

The eaves are decorated with exquisite gray sculptures, and the patterns are mixed with the style of Western sculpture according to the owner's preferences.

The hollow carved flower covers and colored Western glass shine brightly inside the house.

Travel Tip 2: The Chongkou Chung in front of Julong Village connects the other scenery of Fang Village.

Along the way from Chongkou to the Pearl River Estuary, there is the Yuling Bridge, a beam-style stone bridge. According to legend, in the past, all the scholars who passed the imperial examination and Jinshi passed here by boat. The locals also used this as the end point for the dragon boat race, thinking that this bridge has spiritual power.

Next to the Yuling Bridge are the Dachokou Oil Depot built by the British in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, and the earliest machinery factory in China, the "Xiehe Machinery Factory".

The two sides of the river are connected to the Pearl River, Fangcun Bar Street and Minghui Garden.

Traveling all the way there is a cultural journey to appreciate Lingnan folk customs.

Travel Tip 3: Food There are many restaurants near Julong Village. On the east side of Fangcun Avenue alone, there are Congee Wangzhuang, Huayuan Hotel, Jinjunyuan Restaurant, etc., which are cheap and affordable.

You can eat delicious big head carp and grass carp at Yonghong Tujia Vegetable Farm. It is said that the boss brings it freshly from Zhapo every day. The fish is especially fresh, sweet and refreshing!

One fish can be used to make four or five dishes: steamed fish bone belly with black bean sauce, stir-fried fish fillet with vegetables, Maggi fish cubes, fish paste porridge, fish intestine omelette, jelly fish head stew, etc.

Congee Wangzhuang is also very popular. It recommends the soup-filled dace balls and the large dumplings. The small shop is built near the river, so you can feel the gentle breeze by the river while eating, which is quite "free".
