The ambiance of a rainy day matches well with this off-the-beaten-path ancient village--Langtou Ancient Village. A 700-year-old Lingnan ancient village, it's quiet with few people~🍃 and full of architecturally designed buildings🕋. The place is large, suitable for viewing exhibitions, wandering around the village, and enjoying delicious food. You can really spend a whole day there. 🔷Tour Plan Guangzhou--Chunyang Platform (architecture and exhibition viewing)--Fei Ma Restaurant--Hechun Residence--Ancient village tour--Afternoon tea--Return Langtou Ancient Village is divided into two parts: the art architecture area and the ancient village. 🔹Art Architecture The Chunyang Platform building is like a piece of art, 🕋 with its strong lines and layered spatial feel. Walking around it is very photogenic. Inside the Chunyang Platform is an art exhibition hall, library, and restaurant. If it rains🌧️, it's nice to visit inside. To be honest, 💰 the price is a bit expensive, 70 RMB per person, but it's worth it if you like it, and it's also photogenic inside. Hechun Residence is a group of homestays opposite Chunyang Platform, featuring Lingnan courtyards with small bridges and flowing water, very exquisite and worth a visit. 🔹Ancient Village Passing through the art buildings in front, 🏘️ you'll find various ancestral halls and study rooms. Langtou Ancient Village, with its 388 Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, 🌳 is very well preserved. Many residential study rooms are still in use or have been converted into small shops. Crossing the Filial Piety Bridge🌉, you'll see former residential houses with intricately carved eaves and brightly colored, delicately crafted details, offering an interesting experience to appreciate. 🥘Village Cuisine Next to the parking lot, there are several farmhouse restaurants, and even more local eateries in the village. 🤫 Eating directly in the ancient houses is quite a unique experience. This time I tried Fei Ma Restaurant, with its signature beef hoof soup🥘, rich in medicinal flavors and huge chunks of beef hoof, truly amazing, and a small portion is too much for two people.🥹 After getting tired from walking, you can lie down for afternoon tea in a beverage shop, pet some cats🐱, with several located next to the ancestral halls, surprisingly offering good products.🧋 🎈🎈For more off-the-beaten-path fun places, follow my page~ I'm Xiao K who loves to travel, with a 9-year-old meatball at home.

🌈 There are actually quite a few ancient villages in Guangzhou, but they are generally small in scale and have more of a lived-in atmosphere. ➡️ Langtou Ancient Village is one of them (also known as Langtou Ancient Village) 📍 Located in Huadu District, navigate directly to Ancient Village or take the subway to "Feixiang Park Station" and then take a taxi (about 25 yuan) 🎫 Ticket: None 🌟 Entering the village, there is a small pond along the road, a folk museum, and several small alleys off the main road; 🌸 The best season is still summer, when the lotuses bloom, the full hall of lotuses should be even more beautiful. . There are a few more small ancient villages in Guangzhou to stroll around💕 Let me share my personal feelings: ➡️ Xiaozhou Village, more towards an artistic base transformed from an urban village, if you want the feeling of an ancient village, Langtou would be a better experience; ➡️ Huangpu Ancient Port Ancient Village Historical and Cultural Scenic Area, more poetic, also has a snack street, compared to Langtou, it has a larger area of ancient buildings, but Langtou has more experience and snacks than Huangpu Ancient Port; ➡️ Shawan Ancient Town, this one is more mature, by comparison, Langtou is more primitive (Shawan is better maintained, has more food options, and is a bit more lively).
