NANSHE LINGERING CHARM
(NANSHE VILLAGE ¨C A PLACE OF OLD BUILDINGS)

The Nanshe Village was established at the end of the Southern Song Period. Many old buildings from the Ming and Qing Dynasties can still be seen here. There are 25 ancestral temples and 100 old residential houses under provincial government protection. The village houses and temples are arranged along both sides of the watercourse, their rooftops cascading over the next one. People come to admire the ancient style and the abundant old banyan trees. In the village, beautiful decorations such as stone sculptures, bricks, woodwork and mud or ceramic ornaments are all kept in a well preserved state. The architecture of ancestral alleys, temples, and wells has great historical and artistic value. It is a tourist destination that offers exhibitions of relics and recreation, both in Dongguan and the Pearl River Delta.
