There are two Lingnan in this world, one is chasing the trend forward, crashing up in the blue tiles with red light and checkered patterns, and the other is stopping to look back, precipitating a thousand years of glory in the blue brick walls. When they met through a hundred years, they collided with the unique beauty of humanities and art. Today, we can not only feel the prosperity of the city, but also feel the gabled blue brick houses while wandering in Lingnan Tiandi, a landmark of cultural tourism in South China. Feel the shining stone road grinded by friends' footsteps and tell the strong Lingnan folk customs. As an excellent historical building, it has become people's carefree daily life for a hundred years.
