Introducing Menghuabu Village

Menghuabu Village is nestled in the mountains north of Zhengguo Town, Zengcheng City, Guangdong Province, approximately 3 kilometers from the town. Since its ancestors settled here in 1732, it boasts a history of over 200 years. The village was originally named Menghuabu Village because of its abundant Miscanthus, which resembled a beautiful ribbon. Later, its golden sandy beach earned it the nickname Huangshaba. Surrounded by lush greenery, the village is awash in verdant mountains. Bamboo forests, lychee, longan, loquat, mango, banana, and other fruit trees shade the village, creating a lush and vibrant landscape. The fragrance of flowers wafts from the roadsides and fields, intoxicating the senses. The winding Zengjiang River makes a sharp curve here, leaving Menghuabu Village on both sides of the river, nestled between mountains and water, creating a truly picturesque landscape. The ecological environment is exceptionally beautiful, with renowned centuries-old olive trees and emerald beaches that tell the story of the Menghuabu culture.
