What is the most ancient village with the characteristics of Lingnan water town found in Guangzhou? Zhou Xiao? . I've been there too, but I didn't feel that way when I entered the village. It is more like a commercial village that has been neglected in its development. As soon as you entered the village, you saw the most magnificent building. Zhou Xiao Village Auditorium? . The cold place may be because of the off-season. There are more grandparents sitting at the entrance of the village than tourists. There is a stream that runs through the whole village. The color of water looks like stagnant water, and it feels so mixed. There is a delicious stone bridge in the village. From there, Zhou Xiao Village is still very good, and it feels like a water town in the south of the Yangtze River. There is a dense wall. When you look closer, it is actually an oyster shell! I felt a lot of goodwill in an instant, and the locals thought it was really smart to decorate the wall with it.

After officially entering Zhou Xiao Village, I found that it is actually not an ancient town with many ancient buildings, as everyone said on the Internet. It is true that it was built by water, but it has long been a modern building complex, occupying the mainstream. Occasionally, the ancient house has been destroyed, leaving the ancestral temple still insisting, but the style of writing is full everywhere. Occasionally, a few young men and women saw the studio and painted by themselves. When the young man who opened the shop came, the customers all got up to say hello, but no customers bowed their heads and painted. There is also the last small bridge in Lingnan Water Town. Walking into Zhou Xiao Village is like walking into a folk museum. It takes about two hours to visit Zhou Xiao Village.

This is a well-preserved ancient village in Guangzhou, and there is not much village flavor now. It is more like a small punch-in point for literary network celebrities, with large area, good environment and few tourists. Young people who like literature and art are here, and many artists paint and take pictures. Girls can take pictures when they go. The oyster shell house is a must-shoot place, because it is very distinctive, very old and has walls. Walking around the streets of Zhou Xiao Village, you will find that there are actually many shops that wear and customize Hanfu, with souvenirs/meals/dolls, but it should be noted that not all shops are allowed to shoot.

The houses in Zhou Xiao Village are very close, and the alley is very narrow, surrounded by oyster shell houses. Fortunately, there is a road sign at the entrance of the alley, which is obvious. Look for it near the bridge. The first one in the alley is a literary and art shop that buys and sells secondhand goods. Only part of the oyster shell wall is seen at the main entrance of the oyster shell house, so those who have intensive phobia should be cautious. The mud-mixed wall of the shell is also airtight. It is said that it is warm in winter and cool in summer, so it is impossible to experience it. I wonder if anyone else lives in it. I don't see the window. Turn to the back of the house, the shape is better than the front, and there is a low door.

Oyster shells are a common thing for people near the delta. Fishermen will definitely bring back a lot of seafood when they go fishing. Oyster shells are hard and beautiful, and fishermen are full of wisdom. Such things can be used to decorate houses, which can not only protect them, but also make them more exquisite. The following pictures were taken in Shawan ancient town, and also seen in Lingnan Impression Garden some time ago, which also shows that oyster shell houses are common but dense for people in the past.

In fact, it was amazing when I first saw it. Can the house built in this way be waterproof and windproof? Walking along the wall, it seems quite strong, and I feel that the wisdom of the people is still extremely high. At that time, rich people had the money to build this kind of house, mainly to prevent thieves. There are no obvious windows on the oyster wall, only a hole the size of a hole in a very high place. Thieves can't dig into the wall easily, and they are very strong. Moreover, it is warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is not afraid of being washed away by the rain in the south. This is a very unique cultural heritage of Lingnan folk architecture.
