| The dazzling glory of the ancient port. 🔸🔸Huangpu Ancient Village was built during the Northern Song Dynasty. The village was once called "Huangpu", "Fengpu" and "Huangzhou". 🔸🔸The lanes in the village are neat and orderly, and the village is laid out in a flat grid. An alley is the central axis, with houses on both sides. Each house is a courtyard, presenting the typical "comb-style layout" of Cantonese villages. 🔸🔸The ancient port was born because of the ancient village, and the ancient village prospered because of the ancient port, and many talents emerged.
