The Millennium "Venice" of Shunde People Fengjian Water Town is located in Xingtan Town and is one of the earliest inhabited areas in Shunde.

The two ancient three-hole stone bridges from the Song Dynasty have witnessed thousands of years of history, and are therefore recommended as the oldest three-hole stone bridges in Foshan City and have become provincial cultural relics.

Many ancient temples from the Ming Dynasty here bear witness to the founding of Shunde County, which originally belonged to Nanhai County. The establishment of the Eight Scenic Spots of the Ming Dynasty and its dais, known as "Little Guangzhou", confirm the prosperity of Shunde in the past.

After being selected as one of China's Beautiful Leisure Villages in 2020, Fengjian Water Town in Shunde was recently included in the third batch of Guangdong Province's list of cultural and tourism integrated development demonstration zones.

The treasure land of No. 1 Scholar, let’s take a tour before the college entrance examination. Fengjian Water Town’s unique cultural landscape, simple folk customs, and strong atmosphere of life are full of people’s yearning for a better life in Lingnan Water Town.

There are more than a hundred ancient houses here, and every few steps you can see a solemn ancestral hall. The simple and elegant Lingnan architecture gives this flowing water infinite vitality.

There are more than 30 bridges, large and small, among which the most memorable ones are the Mingyuan Bridge and Juji Bridge preserved in the Song Dynasty, witnessing thousands of years of history.

This is the Jinshi Archway, which has a history of nearly 500 years.

13 Jinshi have been born here. Students taking the college entrance examination this year might as well come here to see if they can win the top prize in high school!

In a pleasant afternoon, you can also take a awning boat with your loved ones and follow the water flow to visit the water town.

Green tiles, white walls, stone roads, tree-shaded ancient lanes and rowing boats, every scene reveals leisure.

In the river, boats carrying tourists will sway by from time to time. The old man who is over half-year-old is still holding the boat for tourists. His age does not seem to affect his strong arms.

In addition to sightseeing, you can also go here to experience the culture of German flavor and learn about Shunde's water town culture.

I also discovered that Fengjian Water Village is simply a land of crouching dragons and hidden tigers for gourmet food. There are many Xingtan private dishes hidden here, and each one is full of its own characteristics.

Not only is the food rich, but many B&Bs have also been opened in recent years. Each one is full of water town style and has Lingnan-style architecture, making people unable to resist checking in!

Fengjian Water Town has more than just "nonsensical doves". After noon, tourists began to appear in the water town. Walking into this "food alley", mixed with the smoke of fireworks and shouts, it was like living a leisurely market life.

Almost all the traditional delicacies sold here are Shunde, such as Jun'an steamed pig, double-skinned milk, chicken cakes, etc. Although there are many repetitions, each one has its own characteristics.

To find delicious food here, you really have to walk through the streets. Every shop is very close to each other, and the various aromas are so "fairy fighting" that people can't help but stop and buy them to try.

Fengjian Water Town has its own unique food gene.

It is integrated into the style of the water town and reflected in the comfortable life of the people in the water town.

These flavors are connected to a culture and the inheritance of a craft.

"Wuli Tou Jiu" sesame paste When I came to Fengjian Water Town, it would be a pity not to hear a few "foul words"... Hahaha, just kidding, I went to eat Aunt Zhen's sesame paste.

We were lucky today and bought the last three bowls of sesame paste for us.

The purely hand-made sesame paste is fragrant and delicate, and costs only 5 yuan for a large bowl. Many people come here to "scream" for it.

In addition to sesame paste, there are also desserts such as double skin milk and mung bean paste, which have a homely taste.

As a "water town native", a day is pleasant, fulfilling, and full of surprises.

Fengjian Water Village, carved by the years, represents the simplicity and gentleness of the world, as well as the vitality of the world.

Come to the water town for a stroll and steal half a day of leisure.
