Shenjing Ancient Village | 广州深井古村 | Guangzhou City
Shenjing Village, with a history spanning nearly a thousand years, is nestled on Huangpu Changzhou Island, between the University Town and the Huangpu Military Academy. It sits across the river from Panyu Hualong, Xinzhou in Haizhu District and Tianhe. The village is a hidden gem of cultural heritage, characterized by its charming stone streets and blue-brick houses that exude the timeless beauty of ancient architecture.
For history and architecture enthusiasts, Shenjing offers a captivating weekend getaway. Once a thriving hub for foreign trade, the village flourished as its residents worked in industries such as shipbuilding, cargo handling, and commerce. This prosperity is reflected in the intricate design of its buildings and streets, showcasing the unique architectural style of the Pearl River Delta region.
One of Shenjing’s highlights is Xihe Rongyangli, a cluster of well-preserved ancient houses. These structures are particularly notable for blending the elegance of Guangzhou’s Xiguan-style mansions with elements of Hakka watchtowers and Western influences. Features such as stone pillars, ornate gate towers, and decorative patterns tell a rich story of cultural exchange between China and the world.
A stroll through Shenjing Village is like stepping back in time, offering a serene escape steeped in history and architectural wonder.
