Guangzhou Weekend Tour of Ancient Villages Collection
🌈 There are actually quite a few ancient villages in Guangzhou, but they are generally small in scale and have more of a lived-in atmosphere.
➡️ Langtou Ancient Village is one of them (also known as Langtou Ancient Village)
📍 Located in Huadu District, navigate directly to Ancient Village or take the subway to "Feixiang Park Station" and then take a taxi (about 25 yuan)
🎫 Ticket: None
🌟 Entering the village, there is a small pond along the road, a folk museum, and several small alleys off the main road;
🌸 The best season is still summer, when the lotuses bloom, the full hall of lotuses should be even more beautiful.
.
There are a few more small ancient villages in Guangzhou to stroll around💕 Let me share my personal feelings:
➡️ Xiaozhou Village, more towards an artistic base transformed from an urban village, if you want the feeling of an ancient village, Langtou would be a better experience;
➡️ Huangpu Ancient Port Ancient Village Historical and Cultural Scenic Area, more poetic, also has a snack street, compared to Langtou, it has a larger area of ancient buildings, but Langtou has more experience and snacks than Huangpu Ancient Port;
➡️ Shawan Ancient Town, this one is more mature, by comparison, Langtou is more primitive (Shawan is better maintained, has more food options, and is a bit more lively).

If it rains, let's meet at this artistic ancient village
The ambiance of a rainy day matches well with this off-the-beaten-path ancient village--Langtou Ancient Village. A 700-year-old Lingnan ancient village, it's quiet with few people~🍃 and full of architecturally designed buildings🕋. The place is large, suitable for viewing exhibitions, wandering around the village, and enjoying delicious food. You can really spend a whole day there.
🔷Tour Plan
Guangzhou--Chunyang Platform (architecture and exhibition viewing)--Fei Ma Restaurant--Hechun Residence--Ancient village tour--Afternoon tea--Return
Langtou Ancient Village is divided into two parts: the art architecture area and the ancient village.
🔹Art Architecture
The Chunyang Platform building is like a piece of art, 🕋 with its strong lines and layered spatial feel. Walking around it is very photogenic. Inside the Chunyang Platform is an art exhibition hall, library, and restaurant. If it rains🌧️, it's nice to visit inside. To be honest, 💰 the price is a bit expensive, 70 RMB per person, but it's worth it if you like it, and it's also photogenic inside.
Hechun Residence is a group of homestays opposite Chunyang Platform, featuring Lingnan courtyards with small bridges and flowing water, very exquisite and worth a visit.
🔹Ancient Village
Passing through the art buildings in front, 🏘️ you'll find various ancestral halls and study rooms. Langtou Ancient Village, with its 388 Ming and Qing dynasty buildings, 🌳 is very well preserved. Many residential study rooms are still in use or have been converted into small shops. Crossing the Filial Piety Bridge🌉, you'll see former residential houses with intricately carved eaves and brightly colored, delicately crafted details, offering an interesting experience to appreciate.
🥘Village Cuisine
Next to the parking lot, there are several farmhouse restaurants, and even more local eateries in the village. 🤫 Eating directly in the ancient houses is quite a unique experience. This time I tried Fei Ma Restaurant, with its signature beef hoof soup🥘, rich in medicinal flavors and huge chunks of beef hoof, truly amazing, and a small portion is too much for two people.🥹
After getting tired from walking, you can lie down for afternoon tea in a beverage shop, pet some cats🐱, with several located next to the ancestral halls, surprisingly offering good products.🧋

On the weekend, I had a small gathering with my girlfriends and unexpectedly found this Lingnan beauty lodge hidden in a six hundred year old village - Guangzhou Hechun Residence, located in Langtou Ancient Village, Huadu District.
The design of the lodge is unique and tasteful. Each room is a separate small villa, two stories high, with dedicated butler service, complimentary afternoon tea, evening rest, and a delicate breakfast. In addition to guest rooms, there are also multiple public spaces such as 'Hechun Banquet', 'Hechun Seat', 'Hechun Speech', 'Hechun Wild', etc., which include functions such as dining room, tea room, flower room, leisure and entertainment.
You can reach the 'Chunyang Terrace' art exhibition hall within 3-5 minutes walk from the lodge.
