    The moment I stepped into the ancient village of Nanshe Ming and Qing Dynasty, the time seemed to quietly reverse. I was caught up in the long river of history, and in the heavy heritage of Lingnan culture, I launched an immersive deep experience, leaving an indelible deep impression. Old construction: solidified years Psalms The buildings of the ancient villages of Nanshe are like a three-dimensional history book, every blue brick, every tile, every stone road, are quietly telling the story of the past. Xie's large zongzhuang solemn, beam-style wooden structure magnificent, wood carving, brick carving, stone carving cleverly won the sky, the ancients to the family inheritance and the yearning for a better life show incisively. The houses are scattered, the ear walls are towering, and under the sun, the quaint and majestic skyline is outlined, highlighting the unique Lingnan architectural style, and also implying a beautiful vision of wind and water. Shuttle in the narrow lanes, fingertips caress the wall through the wind and rain, as if you can feel the vicissitudes of the years, every architectural detail carries hundreds of years of historical precipitation. Humanities: Living spiritual vein The ancient village is not only a collection of buildings, but also a habitat for humanistic spirit. The traditional customs and cultural heritage of Nanshe people are still shining on this land today. Walking in the streets of the ancient village, occasionally you can see the elderly leisurely tea chatting, children laughing and playing, and the atmosphere of life is strong. People here cherish the cultural treasures left by their ancestors, and every traditional festival, they will hold grand sacrifices, dragons and lions, and other activities to remember their ancestors in a unique way and inherit folk culture.

    The moment I stepped into Yinxian Villa, the hustle and bustle of the city was immediately isolated, and a peaceful and vibrant picture unfolded in front of my eyes. As soon as I entered the door, I could see the solemn Yinxian Temple, the yellow wall and black tiles that looked particularly simple under the green trees. Entering the temple, cigarettes, Sanskrit, let people calm down instantly. Here I saw many devout pilgrims, their faces covered with peace and awe, and I unconsciously slowed down, closed my eyes, and felt this super-worldly tranquility, as if all troubles were dispersed by this leisurely Sanskrit. Move to the Happy Valley, here is a sea of joy. The thrilling roller coaster is winding, the screams of tourists are coming and going, releasing the pressure of the heart; the romantic carousel is slowly turning, carrying the innocence and fantasy of countless people. I summoned the courage to experience the big swing hammer, in the high-speed rotation and large swing, the heartbeat soared, that thrilling and refreshing feeling, let me deeply experience the fun of challenging myself, enjoy the joy and relaxation at this moment.
