Bugu Village
不孤村
A Zhuang village nestled between mountains and water in Baiwei Town, known for its Ming-era academy ruins and its tradition of valuing education, earning it the name 'Lingnan Top Scholar Village'.
Bugu Village lies in Baiwei Town, Shanglin County. It faces south, with green hills behind and a pond in front. The village name, meaning 'not a lonely village any more', comes from the Confucian saying that virtue is never alone and always has neighbours. In the Jiajing reign of the Ming dynasty, the site was a 'lonely village' of just three households. Later, members of the Zhou clan moved in and settled, and it grew into a large village, renamed Bugu. The village preserves the ruins of Bugu Academy, old residences and ancestral halls, and it is known for its emphasis on education, earning it the title 'Lingnan's Top Scholar Village'. The village is small, about an hour on foot, and free to enter. It works well as a day trip with Sanliyangdu, but you'll need a car to get there.
