"Shawan Ancient Town" - the only living Cantonese water town in Guangzhou, where every brick and tile can sing Cantonese opera!
📍 Address: Daxiangyong Road, Shawan Street, Panyu District (near Metro Line 3, Shiqiao Station, Exit B, transfer to Bus No. 67)
💎 The amazing experience of traveling through time and space:
❶ The largest group of shell-consuming walls in Lingnan! 400,000 pieces of Ming and Qing Dynasty shells are built into a 2-story high wave wall
❷ The birthplace of Guangdong music: Liugeng Hall has a private group singing "Rain on Banana Leaves" at 14:30 every day
❸ The labyrinth alley of the Dang Er Wu: 12 anti-theft copper ring door bolts hidden on the bluestone road
❹ Live Intangible Cultural Heritage Workshop: Watch an old lady use bamboo to press out rainbow-colored fish skin corners
🍜 Must-try 500-year-old brand:
▫️ Shawan Cow Queen (Ginger milk is brewed and eaten immediately! The milk is made from buffalo milk at 4am)
▫️ Dangdang wonton noodles (bamboo noodles with big fish soup, wontons filled with fresh shrimp and crab roe)
▫️ Needle Aunt Fish Skin Corner (an intangible cultural heritage filmed by CCTV, the fish skin is so thin that it is translucent)
▫️ Shawan Courtyard (Ancient House Private Cuisine! Must try lotus root and three treasures stuffed with dace)
📸 Best spots for filming:
✔️ The shell wall under Wenfeng Tower (beautiful light and shadow at 4pm)
✔️ Liugeng Hall 108 Pontianak wooden pillars array
