Preface

We often say that one must be on the road, both body and soul, so we constantly measure the world with our footsteps. Travel may have become a way for us to explore the world. When we have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, encountered difficulties and setbacks, and tasted the various things in the world, finally, our hearts return to the original starting point.

Everyone probably has special expectations and feelings for a city. Guangzhou is a city that people don't want to leave after they come, and it is also a city that wants to come again after leaving. A leisurely and lazy city that slows down time makes people who enter the city seem to overlap between the past and the present, as if they have traveled through an entire millennium.

Looking back on the past few years of travel, I have taken planes, buses, trains, crossed mountains and mountains, encountered many scenery, and traveled through thousands of rivers and mountains, but I have not enjoyed the special city of "Yangcheng". I often miss the unscrupulous happy time on the road. But I always believe that the beauty of this world will appear in another form. Just like this trip to Yangcheng to find culture with my friends on Sanwu, I realized one of my thoughts this year: to look at old Guangzhou again, and also pursue the new Guangzhou and feel the true Lingnan style of the city.

During this trip, I stayed at a five-star hotel in the city center of South China with unique Lingnan cultural characteristics. There are only three platinum five-star hotels in China, and the only one in South China: Guangzhou Garden Hotel. Whether in terms of style or hardware facilities, Guangzhou Garden Hotel's cutting-edge design concept makes it hard to believe that the hotel in front of us has a history of 35 years. The forward-looking design concept of architectural designer Mr. Pei combines the rich Chinese Lingnan culture with modern luxury artistically.

When I entered the lobby through two doors, I was amazed by the entire lobby in front of me, and the view of the tall and spacious lobby instantly appeared in front of me. Looking up at the ceiling at the top in the center of the lobby, decorated with "Golden Dragon Playing with Beads" caisson decoration, it is really beautiful. It is composed of square pillars painted with bright patterns and wood carvings and gold-plated coiling dragons. This pattern is modeled after the design of the roof of the ancient Chinese royal palace, giving people a sense of dignity as a golden dragon protecting the roof and a profound dragon cultural heritage.

These Checkin tables in front of you can move freely and are very flexible and changeable. When a large-scale event needs to be held in the hotel lobby, these check-in desks can be moved immediately. This is flexible and changeable, and the design to make full use of the space really makes people admire the unique forward-looking thinking of the designers at that time.

In the center of the front of the Check in counter lobby, there is a huge golden mural that is particularly prominent. Just by looking at the fine outline and color of the lines, you can already tell that it is not simple at all. After a closer look, I discovered that the mural depicted above is a Dream of Red Mansions mural. The large-scale gold-inlaid mural with the theme of "Dream of Red Mansions" is the most representative cultural and artistic masterpiece of the hotel, and it is also the largest marble gold-inlaid mural in the hotel.

The whole mural takes "Grandma Liu Entering the Grand View Garden" in the ancient Chinese masterpiece "Dream of the Red Chamber" as the theme, vividly reproducing the life interest of the twelve hairpin in Jinling and the prosperous scenes of the Grand View Garden. However, you would never have imagined that this huge mural is inlaid with 200,000 pieces (weighing 2 kilograms) of gold foil. Yes, it is real gold on it. It is really amazing.

At this time, you will definitely think that the Garden Hotel is just a purely Chinese hotel with Lingnan culture, so you are wrong. Walking to the left side of the lobby, you will explore more interesting architectural styles. The revolving wooden staircase in front of us connects the space from the first floor to the third floor, which seems to take us to a European-style hotel. This revolving wooden staircase is in the ancient Greek Ionic style, giving people a round, stable and exquisite visual enjoyment. On the right hand side of the lobby are traditional Chinese-style stairs. I have to admire that tradition and modernity, the West and the East, are perfectly integrated here without being abrupt at all.

The moment I pushed open the door of the Executive Yueyun Room, a warm breeze rushed towards me. It really smells like you're home. The interior design with Lingnan characteristics is well-conceived, with Lingnan characteristic elements everywhere, combining modernity and elegance.

There is a spacious space of more than 60 square meters, carefully carved Lingnan-style furniture. From the moment you enter the door, you can see the unique screen in front of you. It uses natural bamboo craftsmanship and the desk is covered with kapok flower patterns. The table top and the floor are tree-round carpet that highlights the history of the garden. Carefully selected room supplies and user-friendly smart equipment, the Executive Cantonese Room really brings me an unprecedented comfortable experience.

The room is equipped with wired/wireless broadband Internet access, satellite TV (including CNN, BBC and other international TV channels), independent air conditioning system, Phillips wireless speakers, large LCD TV, Nestle coffee machine, etc. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the room, Guangzhou's charming urban landscape can be seen in a panoramic view, and every traveler who stays in can enjoy the tranquility that touches the soul!

It is worth mentioning that this seemingly Lingnan wardrobe in front of you is actually a large minibar. The patterns with Chinese elements and specially designed built-in push doors are all very popular. In addition to mineral water in the minibar, the hotel also adds the supply of soda, wine, coffee drinks, etc. Small details highlight the hotel's thoughtfulness. The neat and orderly arrangement and the rich presentation of soft drinks, as well as the carefully prepared desserts by the hotel, are as satisfying as hosting a small tea break.

In front of you is a two-meter queen bed with 6 types of sleeping pillows to choose from.

The unique large-scale lacquer painting on the background wall is part of the scene of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden of the Dream of Red Mansions and is also a scene in the back garden of the hotel. The bird cage lamp with unique Lingnan style hangs on the bed. The traditional Chinese bird cage craftsmanship has been passed down for 500 years and echoes the hotel garden. The singing of birds and flowers echo the hotel garden, reflecting the hotel's unique garden landscape.

In front of you is a huge bathtub, a vanity, equipped with a shower separation area, and the shower and toilet are independently separated.

The hotel reflects the rich heritage of traditional Chinese culture everywhere. As a representative work of the "Lingnan School" architecture, when I visited the entire hotel, I couldn't help but admire: Lingnan gardens blend with modern buildings. With the theme of "Garden", we boldly designed wonderful courtyards, front and rear gardens, east and west gardens, sky gardens, rockery, and waterfalls, creating a three-dimensional landscaping area of the hotel of 21,000 square meters. Green grassland, lush trees, waterfalls and flowing water, a combination of Chinese and Western... It is worthy of being an oasis of rest in the city. All troubles seem to linger away the moment you enter the hotel.

Guangzhou Garden Hotel is really unfamiliar and not like a hotel, but familiar as if you have entered home. Whether it is the choice of modern furniture, the lighting of Chinese Lingnan elements, or the beautiful scenery of the urban oasis garden placed in the window, the rooms are all striving to create the most extreme stay experience. In a corner of life, you can also feel the changes in the world.

The hotel is divided into two gardens at the front and back. The front garden is really like a huge garden. It has been newly upgraded and is a tranquil oasis in the Huanshi East Business District. It has open lawns, colorful flowers and musical fountains that attract admiration. Especially at night, the bright lights and musical fountains resonate, which is really beautiful.

In the back garden of the hotel, the rockery is jagged, and the flowers and trees cover a garden with traditional Chinese characteristics. It is a Chinese-style courtyard designed with the theme of "The End of the World is Like Neighborhood". The entire back garden is carefully designed and arranged with large murals, rockery, running water, pavilions and verdant vegetation, each with its own characteristics and cooperating with each other to become a veritable "garden". The garden is connected to the Waterfall View Restaurant.

Follow the path and enter the back half of the garden through a traditional Chinese stone door. In addition to the green area, there is also a moon lake dotted with weeping willows. Follow the tree-lined path and walk into the lake with a blue stone road leading to the lake-center restaurant in the center of the lake-"Qinchun Pavilion". In the pavilion, guests can not only enjoy the various seasonal flowers scattered throughout the garden, but also enjoy the elegant view of the entire back garden, including waterfalls, giant murals and the two majestic east and west towers of the hotel.

Come to a city and look for delicious food. The ancients "never tire of fine food, but never tire of fine food." Exquisite catering not only satisfies the stomach, but also satisfies spiritual enjoyment. In addition to staying in the hotel and enjoying the beautiful scenery of the Garden Hotel and the charming city scenery, the hotel's many dining spaces also allowed me to experience the art of taste buds again. In this urban oasis, from the first floor to the 30th floor of the sky, there are 9 restaurants to choose from, and a feast is being performed at different moments!

The Waterfall Gallery buffet serves Chinese and Western cuisine. After you choose your favorite food, sit quietly in this tree-lined back garden. Enjoy the waterfalls in the back garden, and the singing of birds and flowers are fragrant. The good mood of the day starts from this moment.

Along the side of the water source is a large platform with some dining chairs on which you can sit and enjoy the waterfall while tasting delicious food; under the platform is a mountain path, with green areas on both sides, planted with willow grass, velvet grass and large-leaf oil grass, as well as Yutangchun, willow, geraniums, etc.

There are three levels of Garden Waterfall, with the highest point being 18 meters and located at different heights to achieve a three-dimensional effect. Under the waterfall there is a stream, which is paved with pebbles, and running water flows through the stream into the lake in the water pavilion.

The garden waterfalls running down at an altitude of 18 meters integrate the natural landscape, pavilions and lush trees in the garden. Under the rockery of the Feiliu Waterfall, there is a stone step that runs straight up to the white jade water pavilion halfway up the mountain. In the pavilion is a white jade statue of Guanyin smiling at the waterfall that flows down. Faced with such a grand scene, how can people not be moved?

For lunch, you can choose to go to the hotel Taoyuan Restaurant Chinese restaurant. The Chinese restaurant is designed based on the background of the Three Kingdoms era and has many murals in the museum. There are porcelain murals 6 meters wide and about 3 or 4 meters high on both sides of the hall, describing the scenes of "Three Joyments in Taoyuan" and "Three Heroes Fighting Lu Bu" respectively. As soon as you walk in, the bright lobby environment feels like you have traveled through time and space to the Three Kingdoms Period.

The other eight heroic portrait murals are distributed in the restaurant. Different boxes have different names such as Liu Bei, Guan Gong, Zhang Fei, Kong Ming, Zhao Zilong, Sun Quan, Cao Cao and Lu Bu. The screens in each box are designed to correspond to the lifelike characters. The stories are vivid and vivid. Being in the Taoyuan Pavilion, it seems like returning to the Three Kingdoms era in the past. You can also feel the strong national cultural color of the hotel after dining.

Kongming Box is a Chinese-style Lingnan Box design with an elegant and atmospheric environment.

The delicious and tempting golden garlic beef has tender meat and excellent taste.

Crispy glass chicken with roe sauce, must-order.

The Taibai Drunken Shrimp cooked by the master on site is simply delicious in the world ^^^

The meat of the fresh shrimp is firm and the aroma of the wine is fragrant, but the fresh shrimp is faintly visible in the mouth.

Creative jungle shrimp hot spring eggs are particularly smooth to the entrance.

I have to say that the delicious dishes in Taoyuan Restaurant are among the best high-end Cantonese restaurants, serving a variety of classic Cantonese dishes and exquisite delicacies. Whether in terms of shape or application of color, they are all unique creations of the chef. They adhere to the authentic Cantonese cuisine of Lingnan Guangfu, select fresh ingredients, and use innovative cooking techniques to restore the most delicious taste of the ingredients themselves. The exquisite and creative Cantonese cuisine is really unforgettable...

Besides dinner recommendations, you can go to the hotel's Liwan Pavilion Restaurant, a Cantonese restaurant with Lingnan characteristics. Its interior design is based on the scenery of the night market in Litchi Bay, Guangzhou. The designer skillfully moved Guangzhou Liwan characteristics into the Liwan Pavilion, making the performance vivid and realistic. It has become the most popular authentic Cantonese food restaurant in Guangzhou. The restaurant still retains the traditional beautiful cart selling spots. The restaurant has a variety of beautiful spots and authentic Xiguan flavors.

The very special dining table here is the entrance of Liwan Pavilion surrounded by wooden boat oars, planted with simulated lychee trees and watermelon sheds planted around the hall. After entering the restaurant, the shiny teak floor reflected light under the floodlights, thinking that I was on the banks of the Liwan River, enjoying the sparkling and charming night.

The tables and chairs used in the restaurant are traditional Lingnan wooden tables, benches or bamboo chairs. The biggest feature of the Liwan Pavilion is that it has flower boats built in imitation of previous small boats along the Liwan River. There are low wooden platforms and benches in the boat, and you can also sit in the boat to eat, giving it a unique taste.

This is the spring flower boat box where we eat in the evening. It is very interesting.

For Cantonese refreshments, each cooking is made of high-quality fresh ingredients. Through the chef's superb and bold and innovative cooking skills, not only is it full of color, aroma, but also has a pleasing Cantonese cuisine charm.

The taste is original and authentic. From barbecued pork buns to boat porridge, from shrimp dumplings to wind claws, every dish is unforgettable. Whether it's soup, snacks or staple food, I can't stop every dish.

The next thing to plant grass for everyone is the hotel Mingshi Pavilion-a popular restaurant on Internet celebrities

mingshige --A European-style restaurant hosted by a California chef.

The restaurant is designed in a European style. Elegance and romance are my first impression of it. The restaurant is dominated by holy white tones. The exquisite furnishings and soft materials make the place full of literature and elegance. Each location in the restaurant is independent and private, with a separate space and two different types of private rooms, which is very suitable for couples or girlfriends/friends to gather together.

It's a very popular photo spot. Remember to check in and take photos if you come.

If you want to come and experience this online celebrity restaurant, you must make a reservation in advance. The dining environment and food can be privately ordered. Just looking at the presentation of the dishes, I am already ready to move and drool. This time, we tasted a four-course French meal: crab meat pieces and avocado rolls, lobster soup, tinfoil silver cod, tiramisu, etc., all of which tasted quite great. It seems to be Western-style delicious, but it is cleverly integrated into many Thai ingredients and raw sauces.

Crab meat nuggets and avocado rolls

lobster bisque

Tin foil silver cod

The food that we were familiar with will leave us with an unparalleled and extraordinary experience due to the restaurant's strict control of ingredients, its creativity in cooking and its unique secret sauce recipe with the finishing touch. Only when you really put every exquisite delicacy into your mouth can you truly understand what a delicacy is from the bottom of your heart.

tiramisu

The last gourmet restaurant I recommend to everyone is Lingxuan Pavilion on the 30th floor. Above the clouds, it boasts starry scenery, specialty catering, and serves a variety of Chinese and Western international cuisine.

While tasting the dazzling array of Global Seafood Buffet Restaurants, you can enjoy the 360-degree bright night view of Yangcheng. Even if the price is set there, dinner at Star Square is still hard to find. In order to ensure the quality of service, the restaurant has a limited reception every day, so reservations must be made in advance.

Leaning against the window high above the city is enough for you to experience dancing above the hotel, overlooking the magnificent city scenery and capturing the vibrant beauty of the city. Exquisite and romance extend infinitely here, and the perfect landscape of Lingxuan Pavilion and the high-altitude beauty of Yangcheng is vividly and vividly reflected.

Whether it's afternoon or weekend, sit around at HSD Coffee Shop or CASCADE CAFE instead of ordering a classic afternoon tea, reading or chatting, or spending the weekend like the locals.

Or order a cup of freshly ground coffee and freshly baked delicious western cakes to accompany you and your friends to spend a wonderful private time.

You can also invite three or five friends to come to the lobby bar for a drink

There will also be a band performing in the evening, which is worth looking forward to

Choose from a variety of different types of drinks

If you want to exercise outdoors, the swimming pool is the best choice, where you can quietly enjoy the afternoon sun bath; you can also relax all the recent pressures in the pool; you can also enjoy the hydromassage pool and sauna to relieve your body. Tiredness. You can also see the changes in the scenery of the prosperous city of Yangcheng at different times. All these choices can be completely arbitrary.

The gym is fully equipped and open 24 hours a day. It uses large-area floor-to-ceiling windows, bright natural light and a broad exterior, making people feel relaxed and relaxed while exercising.

At the beginning of the lights, the Guangzhou Garden Hotel is particularly beautiful at night. The lights write the romance of the night. Just like the history of this city, it flows slowly and silently.

What I have to say is that every employee at Guangzhou Garden Hotel is very considerate, always paying attention to the needs of guests, and keeping eye contact with you when you need it. A smile and a nod are enough to make you as warm and comfortable as home. I can still recall the orderly and proper atmosphere in the hall at breakfast, and the waiter can not forget the considerate reminders, loving greetings and ultimate care.

Good night, beautiful Yangcheng!

After a night of rest, we will start the first stop of our journey of exploration: Guangzhou Tower-Haixinsha. Guangzhou is not only a city with profound history and culture, but also a modern city with rapid development of modernization. When you are ready, set off for Zhujiang New City, which houses today's new landmarks of Guangzhou. To see the modern side of this city, which has the highest economic point in southern China, and to see the essence of Oriental culture contained in this city.

Guangzhou Tower, also known as Guangzhou New TV Tower, nicknamed Xiaomanyao, is located near Chigang Tower in Haizhu District (Yizhou Island), Guangzhou City. It is said that the Guangzhou Tower has 5 functional areas and a variety of amusement facilities, including outdoor viewing platforms, Ferris wheels, and high-speed cloud amusement projects. It has 2 sightseeing halls, suspended corridors, ladders, 4D and 3D dynamic cinemas, Chinese and Western cuisine, exhibition facilities, shopping malls and popular science exhibition halls. The main body of the Guangzhou Tower Tower is 454 meters high, the antenna mast is 146 meters high, and the total height is 600 meters. It is the tallest tower in China and the second tallest tower in the world, second only to Tokyo Skytree. There is a "Spider-Man Plank Road" at 168 meters to 334.4 meters from the Tata Body in Guangzhou, which is the world's highest and longest aerial walking ladder. There is a revolving restaurant 422.8 meters away from the tower, making it the highest revolving restaurant in the world. There is a Ferris wheel 450 - 454 meters from the top of the tower, making it the highest Ferris wheel in the world. There is a "Extreme Speed Cloud" downhill amusement project from 455 meters to 485 meters from the antenna mast, which is the world's highest vertical downhill amusement project. This time I came to the Guangzhou Tower and looked up at the magical tower, which was a small wish of a friend from afar.

The Guangzhou Tower has witnessed the changes of Guangzhou City in recent years. It watched the construction of the stadium, the completion of the Grand Theater, and also watched the museum crowded with people, carrying the memories of Guangzhou's changes. As the car slowly approached the Pearl River. "When the Asian Games opened here, I longed for this place very much. Now that I meet you again, I have fulfilled my wish." My friend couldn't help but sigh.

In the early morning, feel the morning light of Guangzhou in Yuexiu Park

After admiring Guangzhou's new landmark buildings, we continued to explore another secret: Yuexiu Park. The largest comprehensive park in Guangzhou. As one of the eight scenic spots in Yangcheng, in addition to the natural scenery of mountains and rivers and dense trees, it also holds a grand flower exhibition every year to showcase the characteristics of Lingnan. But when looking at the word "Yangcheng", I was curious why Guangzhou was called Yangcheng. I asked Cambo, who was exercising in the park in the morning. He told me that the name of Yangcheng comes from a very interesting legend.

It is said that there was a major famine in Guangzhou in ancient times, and the people were in dire straits. However, the official master was like a robber, still asking for food from the people. One of the sons was asked to hand over the food within three days or his father's life would be killed. The young man was very filial, but there was no way to save his father. He was so anxious that he burst into tears. One day passed, two days passed, and his cries moved the five immortals in the sky. The immortals rode five sheep of different colors and carried ears of grain to the boy's home. They handed the ears of grain to the young man and asked him to plant the grains into the soil quickly. By dawn tomorrow, he would be able to harvest a lot of rice. They also told the young man that if he encountered difficulties in the future, he would go to the foot of Poshan Mountain to look for them. After saying that, the immortal disappeared. The boy planted the grains according to the immortal's instructions, and the next day he harvested several baskets of rice. The boy handed over all the rice to the government. The official couldn't believe his eyes and immediately ordered the officers to go to the foot of the mountain to capture the immortal. The immortal left, but left the five sheep he had brought on the grass. The officers were just about to catch them, but the five sheep were clustered together and turned into a big stone. So today, we can still see the legendary five sheep turned into stones. Through "Five Rams Capturing the Valley and Gathering in the Chu Court", it expressed the yearning of ancient Guangzhou ancestors for a better life.

Listening to the legend became a god, and in the blink of an eye, I saw the statue of Wuyang with the symbol of Guangzhou. The lifelike and exquisitely engraved appearance made me feel as if I had been sucked into a time tunnel and experienced a "Yangcheng Story". I was moved by it. Continue to watch down and see its main peak, Yuejinggang, and the surrounding seven hills, including Guihuagang, Mukegang, and Liyugang, and three artificial lakes, Beixiu, and Dongxiu. You can take cruise ships on all three lakes, and many adults bring their children to boat on the lake, creating a comfortable picture.

In addition to these exquisite natural landscapes, the park also has historical sites with Lingnan customs. There are mainly Sun Yat-sen Monument, the ancient city wall of Guangzhou, the ancient Sifang Fort, etc. Strolling here and savoring Guangzhou's history seems to add more tranquility.

The further I walked in, I saw many people doing morning exercises in the park, most of whom were elderly. Some of them used large amounts of water instead of ink to write calligraphy on the ground, and some kicked shuttlecock in groups, which seemed to be a vivid picture of life in Lingnan. This sunny park seems to contain a beautiful life for Guangzhou people. The morning light of this day spreads from here, and this Yangcheng style also begins here.

In Xiguan, at the entrance of the old streets and alleys, listen to the story of the old city of Guangzhou

Continue to follow the route and look at these familiar and unfamiliar streets of Guangzhou outside the window. The next stop is Xiguan. When the wheel stops in front of the old house in Xiguan, we seem to smell a smell of time.

Walk through the antique streets and encounter different modern urban streetscapes. Yangcheng under that flash of time is clearly visible.

There are still many ancient buildings like this in Xiguan, such as the arcade on the side of the street, Zhang Shizhi's Ancestral Hall, Confucian Temple, City God Temple, Baiyi Nunnery, etc., all of which tell the history of Xiguan in a low-key manner, like a silent old man who uses his best to repeat these moving looks about Xiguan in the past.

After wandering around, it was already lunchtime, so I drove into Duobao Road to explore authentic Cantonese food. I happened to see a very inconspicuous shop-Bingzhilian. Attracted by the name, I walked in but there was a unique place. It was filled with Cantonese people. It felt like a food stall. I think I found the right shop. This should be a time-honored shop belonging to the locals.

Traveling through time and space, gazing at this century-old inheritance in Yongqingfang

Early the next morning, we drove to the fourth stop: Yongqingfang. It is located on the most beautiful Qilou Street in Guangzhou City-Enning Road, Liwan District. It is connected to Shangxiajiu Landmark Commercial Street in the east and Shamian in the south. It is the former site of Xiguan with a great cultural heritage in Guangzhou.

This area was originally the Laocheng District of Xiguan, full of cultural relics and historic sites. Later, the old city was renovated. While retaining the charm of Xiguan in old Guangzhou, it also injected modern commercial art. Gathering together the cultural and historical features of Lingnan, on the basis of the urban texture of the original neighborhoods, we preserve and restore urban nostalgia memory symbols such as Xiguan Arcade, Xiguan Celebrity Building, Litchi Bay Chung, Cantonese Opera Art Museum, and Jinsheng Cinema. After transformation and innovation, change has become a symbol of historical and cultural inheritance and the integration of contemporary urban life.

The sun shone on the roof of the green brick house, and we walked among them. In front of us was a smooth gravel path, and lazy kittens enjoyed the afternoon leisurely; Manchuria windows, wooden doors, oil-paper umbrellas... In a trance, I seemed to see Miss Xiguan walking slowly in front of me with a brocade fan. This is Yongqingfang where the past and the present blend.

The old buildings have taken on a new look and injected with new life. History and reality intersect and collide here; there are many hand-painted walls and characteristic art shops, such as the Post Office of the Times, a letterpress printing experience, Internet celebrity cafes, handicraft art shops, restaurants, B & Bs get along harmoniously, and every spot is very suitable for taking photos and playing.

Next to Yongqingfang is the Cantonese Opera Art Museum. The museum is laid out along the south and north sides of the bay, eventually forming a courtyard pattern with the central water court and six groups of courtyards.

The buildings and gardens in the Cantonese Opera Art Museum create a very exquisite and harmonious space.

The Cantonese Opera Art Museum building absorbs the essence of the Lingnan Courtyard's "connected rooms and wide buildings" layout. The overall layout of the garden buildings on the south bank is arranged along the skeleton of the "cross"-shaped axis, surrounding the central Wansha Lake. The buildings on the boundary adopt a courtyard layout, interspersed with "singing from the courtyard, singing from the sky, singing from the pear garden, and carrying music from the jade house., Jiqing Bieguan, and Qionghua Changqu". The vast water surface immerses the building complex in a dense water vapor, making it a fairyland.

At the same time, various garden courtyards in the West Garden, watersides, rocks, winding corridors, surging sides, bridgeheads, and under banyan trees can all be used as performance venues for the Cantonese Opera Private Group. The entire museum creates the greatest possible opera space for the inheritance of Cantonese Opera. Walking into Yongqingfang and looking back at the Cantonese Opera Art Museum, we travel through time and space to stare at art in the new city, quietly feeling this spirit of inheritance and innovation in the present and future.

Chen Academy, commonly known as Chen Family Temple, is located on Zhongshan Seventh Road, Guangzhou City. It was built in 1888 in the 14th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It was a "joint ancestral temple" jointly donated by the Chen clans from all over Guangdong Province. This magnificent building is displayed in front of me at this moment. The thick bricks and tiles and ancient doors and windows make people feel a sense of vicissitudes. This simple building that has been settled over time is telling the future generations who come to pay homage. Journey of time.

It is the largest, richly decorated and well-preserved traditional Lingnan ancestral temple building in Guangdong. It covers an area of 15000 square meters and gathers the masterpieces of Guangdong folk architectural decoration art, cleverly using wood carving, brick carving, stone carving, gray sculpture, pottery sculpture, copper and iron casting and color painting and other decorative arts.

Arriving at the gate, you can see the roof backbone of the Chen Family Temple is colorful and magnificent, with a strong flavor of folk art. There is a stone drum on each side of the gate. The decoration of the rock wall can no longer be described as "luxurious". There are famous classic stories from ancient times to ancient times, as well as birds and beasts that symbolize beautiful greetings such as blessing, longevity and well-being. The whole building is quite spectacular and exquisite. Because there are many typhoons in Lingnan, such a backbone is not only beautiful and durable, but also plays a good role in resisting wind, increasing the life of the building.

Walking into the Chen Family Temple, I feel like traveling to ancient times. Those flowers, trees, decorations, buildings, and couplets (it is said that only ten pairs of couplets are left) all exude the style of a scholarly home in a feudal society.

Sculpture: Selling lychees.

The entire building forms a style that is closed outside and open inside. It extends in all directions and has long corridors connecting every room. Walking forward and exploring, brick by brick, through the historical carved wooden windows, I seem to have been searching here through a century of time. Flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. I set foot on the footsteps of time and recorded these touching moments with a shutter.

The colorful exquisite ceramics on display and the vase polished by time leave not only the mark of time, but also a heavy historical charm.

The sculpture in front of me tells a storytelling scene: in the storytelling field next to the head of the banyan tree, a cup of green tea is blown out of paper. Sadness, joy, sorrow, and joy change, until you are happy and heartbroken. Storytelling, commonly known as "telling the past" by Guangzhou people, is commonly known as "telling stories". It is an artist profession that has existed since ancient times. In the past,"ancient lectures" were mostly held under the big banyan tree in the streets and alleys, and people gathered around the storytellers. After listening to a paragraph of a book, I will give one or two pennies, which is endless fun.

The cute little girl came here with her family to visit and began to accept the historical charm of Didioling since she was a child.

Lingnan's traditional architectural decoration art and culture have a long history. Various architectural techniques decorated in ancestral halls/temples and residential buildings, from wood carving, stone carving, brick carving to porcelain inlaid, gray sculpture, pottery sculpture, from myths and legends to historical allusions, auspicious and auspicious patterns and other traditional themes to Lingnan scenery, Jianghai Shui nationality and other rich local characteristics, all reflect the customs and customs of Lingnan area and the desire to pursue a better life. This exhibition uses various means such as scenes, objects, videos, and virtual displays to express the traditional architectural decoration art with different regional characteristics.

This kind of building full of Lingnan style inherits not only an ancient building, but also its local cultural heritage and spiritual connotation. At the same time, it is a dazzling hall of folk decorative art and has entered the "Eight Scenes of Yangcheng in the New Century", known as the "Cultural Card of Guangzhou", has become the most cultural and artistic characteristics museum and famous tourist attraction in Lingnan.

In the chronology of time, the subtle things of this building have become witnesses of the changes in history through the ages. Some of them have been polished over time and exude a profound historical charm. There are some subtle things worth recording, blending them into leaving a profound impact in the tunnel of time...

Perhaps, thousands of years later, we can still touch the traces left by these traditional history. After years of characterization, we inherit and protect these historical buildings with great charm. They are the epitome of the past of each era, and they are deep in memory. Indelible historical symbol.

As long as we are willing to find an outlet for life, we can find some small blessings in one experience and one trip to make our lives better. Under the Guangzhou Tower, we looked up at the great changes in the modern city; at the Guangzhou Garden Hotel, we had the most special stay experience. In the Chen Family Temple, we visited the largest and most beautiful museum in Guangdong.

Early the next morning, we drove to the fourth stop: Yongqingfang. It is located on the most beautiful Qilou Street in Guangzhou City-Enning Road, Liwan District. It is connected to Shangxiajiu Landmark Commercial Street in the east and Shamian in the south. It is the former site of Xiguan with a great cultural heritage in Guangzhou.

This area was originally the Laocheng District of Xiguan, full of cultural relics and historic sites. Later, the old city was renovated. While retaining the charm of Xiguan in old Guangzhou, it also injected modern commercial art. Gathering together the cultural and historical features of Lingnan, on the basis of the urban texture of the original neighborhoods, we preserve and restore urban nostalgia memory symbols such as Xiguan Arcade, Xiguan Celebrity Building, Litchi Bay Chung, Cantonese Opera Art Museum, and Jinsheng Cinema. After transformation and innovation, change has become a symbol of historical and cultural inheritance and the integration of contemporary urban life.

The sun shone on the roof of the green brick house, and we walked among them. In front of us was a smooth gravel path, and lazy kittens enjoyed the afternoon leisurely; Manchuria windows, wooden doors, oil-paper umbrellas... In a trance, I seemed to see Miss Xiguan walking slowly in front of me with a brocade fan. This is Yongqingfang where the past and the present blend.

The old buildings have taken on a new look and injected with new life. History and reality intersect and collide here; there are many hand-painted walls and characteristic art shops, such as the Post Office of the Times, a letterpress printing experience, Internet celebrity cafes, handicraft art shops, restaurants, B & Bs get along harmoniously, and every spot is very suitable for taking photos and playing.

Next to Yongqingfang is the Cantonese Opera Art Museum. The museum is laid out along the south and north sides of the bay, eventually forming a courtyard pattern with the central water court and six groups of courtyards.

The buildings and gardens in the Cantonese Opera Art Museum create a very exquisite and harmonious space.

The Cantonese Opera Art Museum building absorbs the essence of the Lingnan Courtyard's "connected rooms and wide buildings" layout. The overall layout of the garden buildings on the south bank is arranged along the skeleton of the "cross"-shaped axis, surrounding the central Wansha Lake. The buildings on the boundary adopt a courtyard layout, interspersed with "singing from the courtyard, singing from the sky, singing from the pear garden, and carrying music from the jade house., Jiqing Bieguan, and Qionghua Changqu". The vast water surface immerses the building complex in a dense water vapor, making it a fairyland.

At the same time, various garden courtyards in the West Garden, watersides, rocks, winding corridors, surging sides, bridgeheads, and under banyan trees can all be used as performance venues for the Cantonese Opera Private Group. The entire museum creates the greatest possible opera space for the inheritance of Cantonese Opera. Walking into Yongqingfang and looking back at the Cantonese Opera Art Museum, we travel through time and space to stare at art in the new city, quietly feeling this spirit of inheritance and innovation in the present and future.

Chen Academy, commonly known as Chen Family Temple, is located on Zhongshan Seventh Road, Guangzhou City. It was built in 1888 in the 14th year of Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty. It was a "joint ancestral temple" jointly donated by the Chen clans from all over Guangdong Province. This magnificent building is displayed in front of me at this moment. The thick bricks and tiles and ancient doors and windows make people feel a sense of vicissitudes. This simple building that has been settled over time is telling the future generations who come to pay homage. Journey of time.

It is the largest, richly decorated and well-preserved traditional Lingnan ancestral temple building in Guangdong. It covers an area of 15000 square meters and gathers the masterpieces of Guangdong folk architectural decoration art, cleverly using wood carving, brick carving, stone carving, gray sculpture, pottery sculpture, copper and iron casting and color painting and other decorative arts.

Arriving at the gate, you can see the roof backbone of the Chen Family Temple is colorful and magnificent, with a strong flavor of folk art. There is a stone drum on each side of the gate. The decoration of the rock wall can no longer be described as "luxurious". There are famous classic stories from ancient times to ancient times, as well as birds and beasts that symbolize beautiful greetings such as blessing, longevity and well-being. The whole building is quite spectacular and exquisite. Because there are many typhoons in Lingnan, such a backbone is not only beautiful and durable, but also plays a good role in resisting wind, increasing the life of the building.

Walking into the Chen Family Temple, I feel like traveling to ancient times. Those flowers, trees, decorations, buildings, and couplets (it is said that only ten pairs of couplets are left) all exude the style of a scholarly home in a feudal society.

Sculpture: Selling lychees.

The entire building forms a style that is closed outside and open inside. It extends in all directions and has long corridors connecting every room. Walking forward and exploring, brick by brick, through the historical carved wooden windows, I seem to have been searching here through a century of time. Flowers in the mirror and the moon in the water. I set foot on the footsteps of time and recorded these touching moments with a shutter.

The colorful exquisite ceramics on display and the vase polished by time leave not only the mark of time, but also a heavy historical charm.

In fact, as long as you give yourself some time, walk into a city, understand it, appreciate it, and take time to feel it, you may find that this city you are familiar with will have beauty that you have never been familiar with, just at the next turning.
