Yanqiao Ancient Village
烟桥村
A water-town ancient village in Jiujiang Town, with small bridges, banyan trees, and Ming and Qing ancestral halls by the creek. It is quieter and more unspoiled than Fengjian.
Yanqiao Ancient Village is located in Jiujiang Town, Nanhai District. It has a history of more than 600 years. The village is built along a creek, and more than a dozen Ming and Qing ancestral halls, old bridges, and ancient banyan trees are well preserved. The He Clan Great Ancestral Hall is the core building. Commercialization here is very limited, which makes it a favorite of photographers and sketch artists who love Lingnan water villages. Entry is free. At the village entrance, you can try Jiujiang jian dui (sesame-coated fried glutinous rice cakes), dried fish, and other local specialties. Together with Xiqiao Mountain and Songtang Village, it can form a one-day tour of southwestern Nanhai, and driving is the most convenient way to get around.
