Where do Cantonese people go on weekends? -Visit Sanshui Lotus World in Foshan and see the ancient villages in Qing Dynasty.

In the hot summer, I am not in the mood to sleep, only to travel.

In summer, besides going to the island beach, you can actually enjoy lotus flowers and visit ancient villages.

# Where do Cantonese people go on weekends # In this issue, I choose to go to Sanshui, Foshan to have a look.

Sanshui has a good geographical location, only 40 to 50 minutes' drive from Guangzhou. It can be said that it is a matter of one foot throttle.

Why choose Sanshui Lotus World? Let's talk about it

First of all, it is the world's largest tourist attraction to enjoy the Netherlands, with the richest variety of resources, integrating architecture, sculpture, Holland, mobile games, hotels and restaurants. Although the biggest and most comprehensive may be the stunt of the scenic spot, the Lotus World is different and worthy of its name.

Here you can see 480 rare lotus species, especially the "space lotus" cultivated in space and the "ancient lotus" unearthed in Liaoning Province.

There are also varieties of water lilies introduced from Taiwan Province Province, which can bloom all year round, and are both ornamental and edible, with high medicinal value. There are also Wang Lian with a diameter of1.98m, which can bear 40kg, and hundreds of different aquatic flower varieties.

In the lotus world, you can see "Xiao He just shows its sharp corner" in spring, "The wind blows over the lotus, and there are many obstacles" in summer, and "Old Autumn Frost of Furong" in autumn. You can also catch a glimpse of Lingbo fairies in the morning, such as the imperial concubine taking a bath, observe Yu Lian and Tingting during the day, like a growing girl, and explore the "frowning girl" at night to feel the fragrance floating.

It is a good choice to see lotus flowers, experience the beauty of nature and see the essence of artificial architecture.

Daqitou Village in Sanshui, Daqitou Village of Guguo Erwu Group, also known as Zhengcun Village, was founded in Jiajing period of Ming Dynasty, formerly known as Daqiaotou. It is a typical village with the most unique architectural style in central Guangdong. It is said that this ancient village was built by Zheng Shaozhong, governor of Guangdong Navy in Qing Dynasty, and has been preserved ever since.

The village is an ancestral temple, with both a home and a temple, and a group of buildings that live together. The interior layout adopts the typical "three rooms and two corridors" style of Guangdong folk houses.

During the Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty, Zheng Shaozhong, then the Guangdong Navy, lost his mother and went home to observe filial piety. When Empress Dowager Cixi heard that Zheng Shaozhong had no decent residence in her hometown, she decided to allocate funds to build her ancestral home. Because the whole village is built in a unified way, there is a set of planned houses with flags and heads.

Yong 'er House is a typical representative of Guangfu-style residential buildings, named after two wind-proof walls similar to Yong 'er built on the gable walls on both sides of the house. The architectural features of the bell-shaped house are the dragon ridge built on the tile roof and the bell-shaped roof built on the gable to cope with the wind.

Daqitou ancient village is a village with advanced and reasonable planning. There are many organs in the ancient village, and the anti-theft facilities are perfect. High stone feet, transoms more than 2 meters high, and lower windows of houses are all inlaid with iron bars. All houses have two eaves, and even if a thief wants to break through the roof, it will take twice as much effort.

The wisdom of the ancients can be reflected in ancient buildings. With constant discovery and constant experience, there will be different experiences.

One-day trip, stroll around Sanshui, see the lotus flowers and see the ancient villages, hoping to bring you a wonderful weekend.
