Guide
- Zhuji Ancient Lane is located in Zhuji Town, Nanxiong City, Shaoguan City, Guangdong Province, situated between Meiling and Nanxiong County. It enjoys the reputation of "Guangdong's First Lane." This place was once a commercial hub on the ancient postal route connecting the Central Plains and Jiangnan to Lingnan, and it is also the birthplace and ancestral home of tens of millions of Cantonese people and overseas Chinese today. As one of China's three major ancestral tracing sites, it carries a profound historical heritage and clan culture.
- The ancient lane is over 1,500 meters long, with its surface paved entirely with cobblestones, giving it an ancient and tranquil feel. Wandering through the alleys, you can see numerous cultural relics and historical sites from different dynasties, including the octagonal solid stone pagoda from the Yuan Dynasty (Hufei Pagoda), which has confirmed dating evidence and is still extant in Guangdong Province; lush thousand-year-old banyan trees; the shimmering Shashui Lake; and ancient-style gatehouses and residences. Strolling through it feels like stepping into a time tunnel, where every brick and tile bears the imprint of history.
- In addition to its long-standing ancient architectural style, what makes Zhuji Ancient Lane most captivating is its unique surname ancestral hall culture. It once accommodated the comings and goings of hundreds of clan surnames, and today, the lane is still lined with numerous ancient ancestral homes and magnificent modern ancestral halls of various surnames. Visitors can not only appreciate the beauty of traditional Chinese architecture and experience the most rustic and natural way of life of the Nanxiong people, but also trace their roots and experience this deep sense of hometown sentiment and cultural heritage in this land.
