Foshan
Home of Lingnan martial arts and Cantonese cuisine, with the Ancestral Temple, Shunde food and Lingnan gardens at its heart.
Foshan lies in central Guangdong, deep in the Pearl River Delta next to Guangzhou, and is an important center of Lingnan culture. The Ancestral Temple in Chancheng showcases the martial arts heritage of figures such as Wong Fei-hung and Ip Man, while the Nanfeng Ancient Kiln in Shiwan has a long history of ceramic art. Shunde is renowned for Cantonese cuisine, Qinghui Garden is one of the best-known Lingnan gardens, and Mount Xiqiao in Nanhai offers lovely scenery. The cool weather of autumn and winter is the best time to visit. Foshan is linked to the Guangzhou metro, and high-speed trains also stop at stations such as Foshan West.
