:09:30-17:30 Ticket price: Free on rainy days. I didn’t want to be bored at home. I wanted to feel the mood of walking in the rain and experience a rare comfort, so I took the bus to Shawan Ancient Town.
One advantage of traveling by bus is that you don’t have to worry about parking, and you can wander aimlessly without any worries.
I've been here twice before and was always anxious about parking and in a hurry.
Nowadays, wandering in the light rain has a special feeling in my heart. I believe it will be engraved into a kind of memory. The ancient town does not require tickets, but there are three scenic spots in it that you need to buy tickets for.
It is said that Shawan Ancient Town was founded in the Song Dynasty and has a history of more than 800 years. It is a well-preserved ancient town in Panyu area and a representative of Guangfu's local culture.
Although the small building at the main entrance of the ancient town and the floor are made of antique bricks, they are too new and lack the sense of history.
There are many rain alleys in Dai Wangshu. If you are willing, you can search here to see if there is a girl like Lilac! Walking in the long and lonely narrow alleys paved with bluestones, it feels like traveling back hundreds of years.
years ago.
"Wandering into the depths of lotus flowers", I encountered a jewelry design studio run by a lilac-like mother and daughter. In the quiet studio, in the rising mist, under the gaze of a lazy big cat named Tiger,
After drinking a few cups of fragrant tea, I marveled that this is what life should be like! In the past, residents dug out oyster shells from the underground oyster mines along the coast and built oyster shell walls and oyster shell houses, which were built downward at a 45-degree angle to prevent wind.
Moisture-proof, warm in winter and cool in summer, there are many such oyster shell walls in the ancient town.
The light rain gradually stopped, the breeze blew, the willows hugged, the lotus pond was green, and the little lotus just showed its sharp corners.
It is said that Shawan Ancient Town was owned by the He family hundreds of years ago.
Liugengtang (tickets are collected here) He's Ancestral Hall. On the stone tablet erected in front of the door, the history of He's descendants being at the top of the list in the past dynasties is engraved.
Think about the good news that was sent back from the capital by horseback. How happy everyone was? The three heroes of the He family created Cantonese music in Sanmin (ren pronounced three tones) Hall. It is said that this place is the first place of Guangdong music.
The birthplace of (tickets are collected here).
Still walking through time, the archways, old walls, wells, stone mills, and even the sewer mouths all have artistic beauty.
The ancient art of woodworking is on display here.
Just give you a fulcrum, and the wooden dragonfly can give you a balanced world. It's so magical.
Art exists everywhere and indifferently, with invisible ingenuity hidden in it.
Exquisite patterns can be carved on the thin eggshell, worship! Just hang a few pots of flowers on an old bicycle to create a different artistic conception.
What’s a leisure trip without eating and drinking? Have a cup of light papaya milk, containing a piece of Guangdong’s famous chicken gourd to clear away heat and reduce phlegm.
Whenever I visit the ancient town, I must try the ginger milk. The hot milk is poured into the ginger juice. My favorite is the spicy one.
In order to cope with the large number of tourists, this restaurant (let’s not mention the name of the store) prepares it in advance and then leaves it cold, which is not my thing; the fish skin dumplings taste good; the salty pancakes are the most delicious when you bite them freshly out of the pan.
There were too many snacks and I didn’t taste them all.
Leisurely people and leisurely dogs can also sell peach blossom wine.
Due to the weather, there are not many tourists.
The ancient town is deep, and every photo you take is a classic.
I met the crew filming here by chance.
The sun always shines after the wind and rain, and you can take a half-day tour with a fleeting light.
By the time we finished wandering around, the rain had passed and the sky was clear and the sun was shining brightly.
Walking out of the ancient town, it feels like you have returned from the old times to the present, and you feel like you are a human being again.
The husband joked: When walking in such an ancient town, you really should wear a pair of wooden clogs, put down your long hair, and change into a fluttering skirt. Me: Hold up another oil-paper umbrella? With my personality, I'd better save it and bring the sunshine.
Set off, rainy days are also romantic; move forward with a smile, happiness is right in front of you.
All good things happen unexpectedly, on the road and in the heart.
