Guangzhou | No more crowding, visit the ancient village from 1879

During the holidays, tourists are everywhere, especially in Yongqing Fang and Dongshankou, which are popular check-in spots, I just know that everyone avoids Fangcun for some reason, and obediently, you should come to visit. Visiting time: 45 minutes, mainly for architecture, as well as small bridges and babbling brooks. Julong Village, also known as "Kuang's Village," was built in the fifth year of Guangxu (1879) by a group of overseas Chinese with ancestral roots in Taishan who bought the land. Therefore, the architectural style here is somewhat similar to Jiangmen. Julong Village covers an area of more than 5,200 square meters, with rows of uniform and neatly arranged houses, featuring green bricks, black tiles, and wood-carved screens. These ancient houses have architectural characteristics somewhat similar to the Xiguan Mansions, but if you carefully compare them with those on Enning Road, you will know that the styles of the windows and doors are different. The creation of Julong Ancient Village is closely related to the Kuang brothers. More than a hundred years ago, the overseas Chinese Kuang brothers spent fifty to sixty thousand taels of silver to acquire about 200 acres of farmland at Dachongkou and built this village. It took them ten years to construct more than 20 uniform green brick houses, which is what we call Kuang's Village today. According to rumors, this place was originally what geomancers called a "feng shui treasure land," with a dragon vein passing underground. During the construction of the houses, red water flowed out from the ground, which the geomancer called "the dragon's bleeding."
