Tour Highlights
Ancestors' Temple
Today, this Taoist temple is more like a folk museum of Foshan. Not only can you appreciate religious buildings decorated with fine wooden and brick carvings, many folk activities, such as lion dance, Yue Opera, and New Year's blessing ceremony, are held there as well. Additionally, the strong cultural atmosphere of Chinese martial arts is another highlight of the Ancestors' Temple. Here you can get to know life stories of two renowned Kung Fu masters - Huang Feihong and Ye Wen by viewing pictures, letters and other precious documents exhibited inside. If coming at a right timing, we can even enjoy the Chinese Kung Fu show in the temple.

Liang's Garden
As one of the four famous gardens in Guangdong Province, Liang's Garden is small in size but with halls, pavilions, ponds, and bridges cleverly seated inside. The shimmering lakes and reflections of the surrounding buildings and rockeries present beautiful scenes from every angle.

Ancient Nanfeng Kiln
The history of Foshan in making potteries can be traced back to the Tang Dynasty (618 - 907) and it bloomed during the Ming and Qing dynasties (1368 - 1911). The Nanfeng Kiln is where the pottery culture of Foshan originated. Before entry, a 6-storey high ceramic mural will astonish you. With the company of our guide, you will stop by a pottery museum to explore the profound pottery history of China and view various pottery products while wandering along flagstone-paved streets. Most notably, a dragon kiln built during 1506 - 1521 is completely remained today and has been in use until now.
