Attraction details:
Foshan Zumiao (Including Lion Dance Performance)
Foshan Zumiao, originally built during the Northern Song Dynasty, is the most representative Taoist architectural complex in the Lingnan region and is hailed as the "Palace of Oriental Folk Art." It not only enshrines the Northern Xuanwu Emperor but also stands as an architectural art museum integrating wood carvings, stone carvings, brick carvings, pottery sculptures, and lime sculptures. Stepping into Zumiao, the gilded wood carvings of Wanfu Stage shimmer brilliantly, turtles and snakes play in Jinxiang Pond, and the pottery figurines depicting opera stories on the main hall's roof ridge come to life. Every detail narrates the millennium-old prosperity of Foshan's ancient town.
Yewen Hall
Yewen Hall is located on the eastern side of Foshan Zumiao, established to commemorate the grandmaster of Wing Chun, Yip Man. The hall showcases Yip Man's life story and his legendary journey of bringing Wing Chun to the world through precious historical photos, training equipment, handwritten letters, and more. Visitors can see the wooden dummy used by Yip Man for training, learn how he nurtured international stars like Bruce Lee, and experience Foshan's robust martial arts heritage as the "Hometown of Martial Arts."
Huang Feihong Memorial Hall
Adjacent to Yewen Hall, the Huang Feihong Memorial Hall tells the story of another martial arts legend. The hall displays Huang Feihong's martial arts career, the adaptation process of his film and television works, and a restored scene of the Po Chi Lam medical clinic. Daily lion dance performances (check schedule for showtimes) feature majestic lions leaping and maneuvering on high poles, perfectly embodying the spirited essence of Foshan's lion dance culture beyond Huang Feihong's renowned "Shadowless Kick."
Lingnan Tiandi
Just a short walk from Foshan Zumiao, Lingnan Tiandi is one of Foshan's best-preserved ancient Lingnan architectural complexes, where traditional features like wok-ear walls, blue-brick houses, and stone-paved lanes blend seamlessly with modern commerce. Hidden within its alleys are cultural heritage sites such as the Jian Family Villa and Longtang Poetry Club, now transformed into creative shops, cafes, and specialty restaurants. Strolling through the area allows visitors to experience the fabric of late Qing and early Republican-era Lingnan residences while enjoying a leisurely urban slow-living experience.
Qinghui Garden Museum
Qinghui Garden Museum is located in Daliang, Shunde, and is one of the four famous gardens in Guangdong. Built during the Ming Dynasty, its name "Qinghui" means "gentle and radiant sunlight." The garden features exquisite craftsmanship and a compact layout, blending clear waters, lush trees, ancient walls, lattice windows, and pavilions into a harmonious whole, embodying the refined culture of Ming and Qing scholars and the artistry of Lingnan gardens. Notable structures within the garden include the Chengyi Pavilion, Hexagonal Pavilion, and Boat Hall, each with unique charm. The furnishings in the Zhuangyuan Hall evoke the elegance of scholarly families from bygone eras.
Huagai Road Pedestrian Street
Huagai Road, adjacent to Qinghui Garden Museum, is an old arcade street brimming with Republic of China-era charm, where palm trees and stained-glass windows create a picturesque scene. This area serves as a culinary hub of Shunde, lined with time-honored establishments like Renxin Lao Pu's double-layer milk pudding, Minxin Lao Pu's ginger milk curd, and Li Xi Ji's crispy fried dough. Here, you can savor authentic local snacks to experience the gastronomic wonders of the "World's Capital of Gastronomy," or leisurely stroll under the arcades while shopping for souvenirs.
