Nanshe Village in Chashan, Dongguan, is the most beautiful ancient village

Located in Chashan Town, Dongguan City, the Ming and Qing ancient village of Nanshe is situated in the heart of the Pearl River Delta. The village was founded during the Song Dynasty and has gone through the Ming and Qing Dynasties, with a history of more than 800 years. The ancient village is dominated by the Xie family and retains a large number of Ming and Qing ancient architectural groups, which are important witnesses to China's ancient farming civilization and clan system. Among the many ancient buildings, the Xie Clan Ancestral Hall, the Hundred-Year-Old Archway, and the Zizheng Mansion in Nanshe are particularly eye-catching. The Xie Clan Ancestral Hall is majestic and spectacular, with exquisite interior decorations, demonstrating the excellent craftsmanship and profound cultural connotations of ancient craftsmen; the Hundred-Year-Old Archway symbolizes the villagers' admiration for longevity and virtue; the Zizheng Mansion is a typical Qing Dynasty official residence, with a rigorous structure, clever layout, and full of rich historical atmosphere. Walking in the alleys paved with bluestone slabs, you can see finely carved door towers, horse-head walls, and wok-ear houses everywhere, filled with the simple and thick Lingnan style. Nanshe Ancient Village is not only a living history museum but also a treasure of traditional Chinese rural culture. Nanshe Ming and Qing ancient village
