A stunning ancient village forgotten among the green waters and verdant hills

The entire village is built against the mountains and by the water, divided into eighteen areas, with 18 fish ponds interspersed among them. The houses uniformly use blue bricks and black tiles, with carved beams and painted rafters, among which the 'pot-ear buildings' are staggeringly arranged, majestic in appearance. Ancient relics, gray sculptures, painted decorations, and relief wood carvings can be seen everywhere, lifelike, showcasing the distinctive Lingnan architectural art style. Transportation information: Navigate to 'Shangyue Ancient Village', parking available, free of charge. Admission is also free. Travel Tips: The village maintains a relatively pristine appearance, and the degree of commercialization is low, so tourists with high demands for facilities should consider carefully. A solo tour of the village to appreciate the architecture takes about 2 hours. It is recommended to arrange a trip that includes nearby attractions (such as Qingyuan Guanyin Mountain, Longtan Xiaozhai, Yangjiao Mountain Forest Park, etc.) to enrich the travel experience.
