The Timeless Charm of Lingnan's Hidden Gem

Shawan Ancient Town is like a microcosm of Lingnan culture. Stepping into it, you can feel the accumulation of history and the gentleness of time. On both sides of the winding bluestone alleys, well-preserved arcade buildings and ancient residences are scattered. The wooden carved windows and upturned eaves whisper the elegance of a hundred years. The ancestral halls in the ancient town are even more magnificent, with carved beams and painted rafters embodying the family honor and faith inheritance of the Lingnan people. While leisurely strolling, you can also savor traditional Shawan snacks, with rich milk desserts and traditionally made preserved meats evoking endless aftertastes. There is no urban hustle and bustle here, only the calmness and elegance of the water town people, making it a cultural haven where one can find inner peace.
