I never expected to find such a vibrant street in Foshan. The retro buildings on both sides of the street are decorated with old-fashioned signs, red phone booths, rickshaws, martial arts schools, lion dances, and more. The strong retro atmosphere makes for great photos and gives you the feeling of being transported to a neon street in a bustling city.
.
In addition to the neon street, you can also watch the must-see large-scale song and dance performance "Guangdong: A Thousand Years of History". Don't miss it! The live performance is so exciting and shocking that it gave me goosebumps! 😭

❹ A Thousand Years of History Theater
"Guangdong: A Thousand Years of History" is a nearly hour-long performance that leaves you wanting more. The shocking scene of a thousand tons of floodwater rushing towards you, the heroic and valiant Madam Xian quelling the rebellion, the passionate and heroic Huang Feihong descending from the sky with his martial arts skills, and the lively scenes of dragon and lion dances, acrobatics, and lanterns, all made my blood boil.

Lunar New Year limited performance - large-scale live theme show "Flame Carnival", featuring intangible cultural heritage iron flower casting, dragon dance, and luminous lion dance. The audience was amazed by the beautiful and shocking Chinese art passed down from our ancestors!
