Check in at Yanqiao Ancient Village in Guangdong

#Guangzhou Attractions Yanqiao Ancient Village, located on Yanqiao Village Road, Jiujiang Town, Nanhai District, Foshan, is famous for being on the CCTV program "Remembering Hometown". This time I finally came to check in. Yanqiao Ancient Village was founded in the 14th year of the Zhengtong period of the Ming Dynasty, which was 1449 AD. The sixth generation ancestor of the He family moved here from Shilong Village, and his descendants have continued to multiply to this day. There are still 206 households living in the village, and most of the 600-plus villagers have the surname He, and are descendants of the sixth-generation ancestor of the He family. When you enter Yanqiao Village, you will find that the village has a well-developed water system, with water on three sides and bamboo forests blocking Yanqiao from the outside world, forming a natural "protective circle". Inside the bamboo forest are ancient buildings, ancient streets and alleys, and ancient rivers. Outside the bamboo forest are vast expanses of fish ponds, with fish leaping and birds flying, leisurely and contented. Once you enter the smoke bridge, you must follow the right path. Following the right path and promoting righteousness is the folk custom passed down from generation to generation in Yanqiao Village. There is a two to three hundred meter long "Yanqiao Main Road" in the village, which runs through the entire ancient village and connects the ancestral hall and the village cultural center. Yanqiao Village is not big, so it is recommended to reserve about 2 hours for the visit, so that you can stroll around slowly and feel the simple local customs, which is comfortable and pleasant. Transportation: It is recommended to drive here and navigate to "Yanqiao Ancient Village"
