Visit Guangzhou📍Julong Village

#Greater Bay Area Attractions #Weekend Tours #Guangzhou There is a river called "Da Chong Chong" at Da Chongkou in Fangcun. It connects to the Pearl River in the east and Dong Ting in the west. Since ancient times, it has been an important waterway between the south and north of Guangzhou City. The river here is clear, the trees are shady, and the environment is quiet. It is a rare quiet place in the bustling city. There is a village beside the stream, named "Julong Village", which has a history of more than 130 years. According to legend, when the village was built, vermilion rock water was dug out, which a Feng Shui master called "dragon bleeding". Since it is a place with dragon veins, it is called "Gathering Dragons". Julong Village was built in the fifth year of the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1879) and is the residence of the Kuang clan from Taishan, Guangdong in Guangzhou. There are 19 existing ancient dwellings from the Qing Dynasty, all of which are two-story blue brick and tile houses with a "well-shaped" floor plan. There are seven streets and alleys that are neatly arranged in a staggered manner, with a strong Lingnan ancient architectural style. It is the most complete ancient building complex in Guangzhou city. In 2002, the Guangzhou Municipal Government invested more than 27 million yuan in emergency protection, giving it a brand new look. It is a contemporary building with the Chen Clan Academy on Zhongshan 7th Road, and has similar features, making it comparable to those in Guangzhou City. ✅Detailed address: No. 3 Juxing Street, Liwan District, Guangzhou
