Lingnan Tiandi
岭南天地
A historic district restored beside the Ancestral Temple, from Donghua Lane. Wok-eared houses, ancestral halls, restaurants, and bars blend together, making it Foshan’s liveliest old-town spot for evening strolls.
Lingnan Tiandi lies east of the Ancestral Temple in Chancheng District. It is a district restored and developed on the basis of historic areas such as Donghua Lane. It preserves more than twenty historic buildings, including the Jian Family Villa, the Li Zhongsheng Hall Ancestral Shop, the Huang Xianghua Ruyi Oil Ancestral Shop, and the Zhaoxiang Huang Ancestral Hall. Restaurants, cafés, and bars open onto stone-slab alleys between grey-brick wok-eared houses. In the daytime you can admire the Lingnan architecture, and at night the lights and street performances make it lively. The district is free to enter, and some historic buildings host exhibitions. Getting there: take the Foshan Metro to Zumiao Station or Puju North Road Station and walk. It is best visited on the same day as the Ancestral Temple.
