When it comes to Guangdong, what we are most familiar with is Cantonese food. It is said that everyone is a "Bei Ye", and it has shown its own unique taste in food culture.
Since Guangdong is close to the sea, seafood is also an indispensable local delicacy. However, this is the first time I have seen food turned into architecture. Today I will introduce to you a strange village from Guangdong. Let’s take a look!
This village is Xinjian Village located in Siqian Town. There is a very famous attraction here, the Oyster House.
The ancestral villagers of Xinjing Village used local materials to dig out a large number of oyster shells from the coastal sandbanks and use them to build houses.
With a history of hundreds of years, the house is warm in winter and cool in summer, does not accumulate rainwater, and is not afraid of insect invasion.
There used to be more than a hundred oyster shell houses in Xiaozhou Village. Now most of them have been demolished, with only four remaining.
At present, Haizhu District has formulated relevant plans to carefully protect historical features such as ancestral halls, ancient trees, and oyster shell houses in the village, and some even need to be restored while retaining their original appearance.
It is such a village built of oyster shells that has a history of more than 600 years, but it still survives. It is really incredible. The first thing you see when you walk into the village is that it is made of densely packed oyster shells.
When building the walls, the locals mixed the eaten oyster shells with brown sugar, glutinous rice and red mud, and finally built the houses.
As a result, a magnificent landscape is formed.
Such a wall would use nearly ten thousand oyster shells. You can imagine how much the whole village used in the beginning. It would take several years to finish all the food.
Such a peculiar village had been almost destroyed before, and now only four rooms are left for people to enjoy.
In addition to the oyster house, Liuyuantang here is also a famous attraction. This building from the Song Dynasty is showing us the prosperity and glory of this place.
You may ask again, the shells of oysters are very sharp and can cut your hand if you are not careful. Isn't it very dangerous here?
The editor tells everyone that the edges of the oyster shells have been smoothed when the house was built, so there is no need to worry about it. The strangeness here slowly spreads, and many tourists come here to see it. They want to see it very much.
Take a look at this famous "Oyster House".
And it is said that people living here will not be bitten by mosquitoes at all. It is cool in summer and warm in winter. It is really a peculiar ancient village.
Guangdong has always been famous for its food. All kinds of things can be turned into delicacies in their hands. Such an "oyster house" also makes people truly understand the image of Guangdong foodies.
