An 800-Year-Old Village Hidden in Dongguan

It doesn't have the fame of Wuzhen
Nor the refined elegance of Nanxun
But it breathes and pulses with eight centuries of life.

Ancient banyan trees with hanging roots, small bridges over flowing streams, and silent ancestral halls
Every brick and tile seems to whisper tales of the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Walking through the winding alleys of Nanshe Ancient Village in Dongguan
You might feel as if you can hear the murmurs and laughter of families from the past.
Occasionally, you may spot a young woman in Hanfu, holding a fan
Her skirt brushing against the moss-covered stone steps, as if stepping back into a bygone era.

Now, traditional wedding customs performances have been added
Making visitors feel like they've entered an ancient costume drama that never ends.
Here, you can also try hands-on activities like tie-dyeing and pottery
And enjoy private home-cooked dishes and old-fashioned pastries.
When you're tired, sit by the window of a café
Watch the sunlight slanting over the tiled eaves, as time seems to slow down.
