🌿【The Wisdom of the Guardians】🌿
In the ancient village that once faced the crisis of demolition, the villagers showed remarkable wisdom and foresight. They collectively decided to build a new residential area opposite the ancient village, thus preserving the millennium-old village intact. Although most of the original residents have moved to new homes, those old houses still stand, exuding a quiet charm. Now, these stones and tiles, weathered by time, appear even more enchanting under the sunlight, waiting for every curious traveler to come and discover, understand, and cherish.

是个很不错的小镇,很文艺,青砖红瓦,交通堪忧,适合自驾游。不好打车
健力宝不再,三水区的支柱产业没有了。
村庄依山傍水,村前两口大池塘引入北江水,村后背靠文笔山。村中人家多为一厅四室、一厕一天井的四合院格局,石雕、灰雕、壁画一应俱全,村庄附近没有工厂,常年保持较好的田园风光和自然生态。
佛山自驾去顺德的路上顺便去看了看,村里还有人住,靠山的房子好多空了,村口在池塘,村口有家小吃店的芝麻糊好吃。
