Panyu Tourism - Half-day tour of Shawan Ancient Town
When visiting Panyu, in addition to well-known attractions such as Changlong, Lotus Mountain, Yuyin Mountain House, and Dafushan, there is also the 4A scenic spot, Shawan Ancient Town! It's a great choice for a half-day leisure tour on a long weekend or weekend!

The ancient town is accessible from all directions, and there is no entrance fee. However, if there are a few attractions that require tickets, you can buy a 20 yuan pass to visit the houses.
⭕️Experience the atmosphere of the ancient town!
Shawan Ancient Town still retains local residences, and many people have been living here for generations. Here you can experience the real life scene of Shawan.
⭕️Must-visit attractions in Shawan Ancient Town!
Shawan Cultural Center, Clear Water Well, Sifang Pond, Wenfeng Tower, Liugeng Hall, Shawan Oyster Shell Wall, Weixiang, etc. Among them, Wenfeng Tower is one of the must-visit attractions for scholars, and many students who wish to be on the honor roll will come here to make a wish. There is also an old school under the Wenfeng Tower for visitors to tour. In fact, if you walk through the streets and alleys, you will find that the scenery to visit is right beside you.
⭕️Shawan Ancient Town Food Guide!
There are many local snacks to taste here, such as chicken olive, mung bean old popsicle, etc. There are also Shawan milk, double skin milk and other inherited flavors.
If you want to experience authentic Panyu cuisine, why not come to the Panyu dishes in the courtyard of the ancient town Xiyuan. ✔️Traditional Shawan Goose ✔️Shrimp Wax Steamed Egg ✔️Panyu Climbing Gold Mountain Soup ✔️Cow Milk Rice ✔️Panyu Lotus Root Three Treasures ✔️Ginger Milk are all classic delicious Panyu flavors!
It is now winter, and I highly recommend Panyu Climbing Gold Mountain Soup, a meat paste made from dace, dried tangerine peel and ham, and a bowl of dace soup, which is so delicious! The traditional Shawan goose truly interprets the taste of 'salty and fragrant inside'!
And there is a garden-style dining environment here, with greenery everywhere. After visiting Shawan Ancient Town, come here to rest and enjoy the food, it's really comfortable!
The oyster wall: unique to the Lingnan region this incredible feature was made out of oyster shells, brown sugar, mud and sticky rice to provide protection from the natural elements. It’s a sight to behold and you’ll definitely see flocks of tourists taking selfies in front of the façade. Believed to be shock-proof, sound-proof and insect-proof, these oyster walls decorate the narrow alleyways of Guangzhou’s Shawan Ancient Town.⠀
Situated in the south of Guangzhou, Shawan Ancient Town has a history of over 800 years filled with beautiful views and intriguing cultural heritage. Rows of old houses, Cantonese folk music and more ensure great insight into the lives of locals.

In pursuit of this bowl of Foshan herbal tea, I have arrived at Shawan, Panyu!
Should one opt for herbal tea or coffee? For adults, the choice is clear - why not both?
Nestled within the ancient town of Shawan, this coffee shop is housed in a standalone Xiguan mansion, with each of its two floors boasting a unique style. The first floor, shaded by trees🌳, offers a cool respite, while the second floor, with its windows flung open🪟, provides a panoramic view of the quaint surroundings. In addition to the signature herbal tea☕️, the shop also serves refreshing turtle jelly🎍, Ban Sha herbal tea, and innovative special blends - all thoughtfully crafted and delightful.
☕️ Monk Fruit Iced Guangdong-style with Dried Tangerine Peel
When herbal tea meets rich coffee, it's customary to first enjoy a piece of dried tangerine peel before sipping the drink - a Guangdong ritual that adds a touch of sophistication. You can choose between one shot or two shots of strong coffee. For those who prefer a more robust flavor, opting for 2⃣️shots is an interesting choice.

Guangzhou. Shawan. Ancient town.
When we went there were not many people, it seemed very quiet.
Many ancient buildings.
If you take photos seriously, the results will be outstanding.
There's no such thing as the promised snack street.
Ancient style Hanfu little girl is also not here.
Occasionally, there are a few fast food restaurants that sell very similar things.
There is a coffee shop that has a great vibe.
Hidden in the alley.
Use old-style architecture as the foundation.
New small accessories matching
The first floor is a performance hall.
Second floor has a small outdoor balcony.
Not bad.
From Dafushan Forest Park to Shawan Ancient Town, sitting on 108b Road, about 1 hour and 40 minutes, the distance is a bit far, but the scenery there will not make you regret. Established in the Southern Song Dynasty, Shawan Ancient Town is a Lingnan cultural ancient town with more than 800 years of history.
Into the Shawan ancient town area, you can clearly distinguish the historical context of the development of the ancient town, the existing streets and alleys are scattered, the ancestral temples are dotted with the plaques, the , Shawan The ancient village pattern of Shijie Stone Alley in the ancient town is well preserved and preserves a large number of ancient buildings during the Ming, Qing and Republican periods. It is an outstanding representative of the Guangfu culture in the center of the Pearl River Delta. The color here is known as the art of the South.
There are more than 100 ancient temples in the town, which are typical of the Retirement Hall. There is also a bamboo, three two corridors, and a house. High-rise buildings, western-style houses, free-style houses and other buildings. The ancient town of Shawan preserves a large number of art works such as brick carvings, wood carvings, stone carvings, gray plastics and murals. The artistic style has rich Lingnan characteristics.
Shawan Ancient Town was built in the Southern Song Dynasty. Don't underestimate this ancient town. It is an ancient town of Lingnan culture with a history of more than 800 years. It is rich in Lingnan.
[Heart] I often come to take photos. There are many foods on the outskirts of the ancient town. The famous ones are [Milk Queen], desserts made with milk, and some snacks from Lingnan. There are also some small shops near the sugar and fish skin corners are also very good (good cheap).
The area of the ancient town is not big, Qingshiban Street, walked around the ancient town for about 30-40 minutes (I am going fast...), there are not many people inside, I dont know if it is because of me. Its not a holiday when you go. There are Liu Gengtang, Jufulou, He Shaoxia's former residence, and He's Ancestral Hall.
Bus
Take the bus 6, Fan 7, Fan 12, Fan 67, Fan 68 bus to Panyu City Bridge and get off at the Cultural and Sports Center (or Religious Hall) and walk to Shawan Ancient Town.
Shawan Town is not only a long-established ancient town in Lingnan, but also a famous cultural town with rich cultural heritage.
There have been more than 70 scholars and scholars who have preserved the famous stone carvings such as "Shi Shu Shi Ze", "San Feng Liu Fang" and "Literature Flow", such as Liu Gengtang, Wenfeng Tower and Guzhen Shuzhai. It is full of the literary atmosphere of the book, showing the tradition of Chongwen's re-education and the cultivation of family members in the ancient town of Shawan for 800 years.
Old Time Shawan, before the children enter the school, parents will bring their children to Wenfeng Tower to burn incense and worship, ask the teacher to open the pen and let the students experience the traditional virtues of respecting the teacher and teaching in the dignified opening ceremony. Realize that my life has entered a new stage of learning and learning.
