Lingnan Ancient Villages in the Pearl River Delta

There are many ancient villages in the Pearl River Delta with dense river networks, and a large number of ancient villages in the Ming and Qing Dynasties are still preserved. These ancient villages used to be lively and prosperous, and the village construction was also ingenious, which was integrated into the landscape paintings of Lingnan and had a unique style. These little-known ancient village houses show the local flavor of Guangfu. In the village, there are narrow doors and high buildings, or high walls. There are often ponds or clear streams in the village, and the village lanes are arranged neatly. These rural residential buildings reproduce the traditional culture of Lingnan.

2 Combination of Chinese and Western

Kaiping Diaolou

In Kaiping City, diaolou are scattered all over the town and countryside. From Shuikou to Lily, and from Tangkou to Qigang and Chishui, it is a spectacular sight with dozens of kilometers in vertical and horizontal directions. These towers bear witness to the political, economic and cultural development of Kaiping. In history, the social order in Kaiping area was rather chaotic. In the early years of Qing Dynasty, villagers built watchtowers, which played a role in preventing floods and bandits, so overseas Chinese scrimped and saved money to go home to build watchtowers. Due to the large number of overseas Chinese, these watchtowers also contain different architectural styles from all over the world. The watchtowers are the products of China rural people's active acceptance of western architectural art and their integration with local architectural art, which has created various watchtowers in Kaiping. The colonnades of ancient Greece, the columns of ancient Rome, the gothic pointed arches of medieval Europe and the components of European castles can be seen everywhere in Kaiping. We are now applying for the World Cultural Heritage.

Reason for selection:

Diaolou is not only a historical witness, but also a fusion of Chinese and Western cultures. On the surface, the diaolou is only the display of overseas Chinese culture, and it is the concentration of immigrant culture in the world. In China, there are few local buildings with the integration of Chinese and western architectural cultures in rural areas, mainly in counties and towns, but Kaiping is everywhere, and you can see the traces of the integration of Chinese and foreign cultures when you go to a watchtower and a residential building casually. The difference and integration of this kind of culture has a profound attraction for foreign tourists.

7 wonderful humanities

Hakka enclosed houses

Hakkas came to Guangdong all the way, leaving a unique Hakka culture in Guangdong. From Meizhou in eastern Guangdong to Shaoguan in northern Guangdong, Hakka enclosed houses scattered in the mountains show the unique traditional culture of this ethnic group in architecture. Especially in Meizhou, known as the "Hakka Capital", Hakka enclosed houses of large or small scale can often be found in Shan Ye, and perhaps the most attractive one is Calyx Building in Tai Po. In the mountains where Hakkas live in compact communities, those round or oval enclosed houses stand so magnificently in Shan Ye, but they seem indifferent and uncontested, which makes people yearn for it.
