Hey, today I want to share a hidden gem in Guangdong with you - the Foshan Ancestral Temple!

When you travel to Foshan, the Ancestral Temple is a must-see. The Ancestral Temple is not only famous for its lion dance performances and koi pond, but also for its hidden gem, the Lingying Temple. The Lingying Temple is the most representative building of the Ancestral Temple, and it is said to have been built hundreds of years ago. In the Lingying Temple, in addition to the solemn and majestic Beidi, the most amazing thing is the vivid "Shiwan pottery sculptures" (also known as Shiwan dolls) on the roof ridge. This technique originated in Shiwan Town, Foshan, and has a long history dating back to the Tang Dynasty. The vivid pictures on the roof ridge, whether they are people, flowers, birds, or beasts, all show the superb skills of the craftsmen, just like watching a wonderful ancient costume drama. So, if you visit the Ancestral Temple, be sure to look up and don't miss this unique "ancient costume drama". Photography tips - Weather: It is recommended to shoot on a sunny day. If it is cloudy, the colors will look dull and the effect may not be as good. - Lens: A medium telephoto lens of 100mm or more is recommended, otherwise it will be difficult to capture the exquisite details, as there are many details on the roof ridge that are worth savoring. Related information - Location: It is located in the Lingying Temple of the Foshan Ancestral Temple, which is easy to find. - Time: The opening hours are from 08:30 to 18:00, so you can plan your visit accordingly. The "Guangdong Hidden Gems" series is still being recorded, and I will share more fun places with you in the future, so stay tuned!
