Doumen Impression Town is a small town with a history of more than 300 years. It contains a memory sealed by time. Traditional Cantonese folk houses have been transformed into ‘Doumen Impression Town’. The small streets and alleys, every step a scene, and every brick and tile here are affectionately telling the stories, culture, and charm of Doumen. Strolling among them, the former folk houses have become a building complex integrated with the beautiful rural scenery. There is a sense of leisure and comfort far from the hustle and bustle of the city. Here, tourists can experience Doumen’s characteristic culture, taste Doumen’s characteristic snacks, and experience intangible cultural heritage inheritance crafts… There are more than 30 characteristic stores gathered here. Each store has its own characteristics. The food is delicious and not repetitive. There are also agricultural and special products from multiple origins such as Doumen, western Guangdong, northern Guangdong, and Guizhou. You can experience a variety of traditional crafts: hand weaving, shadow puppetry, pottery making, and inside-painting. You can also watch various fancy intangible cultural heritage performances: lion dance to celebrate the New Year, throwing good fortune with the Five Blessings, distributing pork by the patriarch, traditional Cantonese opera, intangible cultural heritage puppet shows, intangible cultural heritage face-changing, shadow puppetry and other folk events. Tourists who are not satisfied with ‘check-in tours’ can also stay in boutique homestays transformed from old folk houses in Xiazhou Village. Sit and drink tea in the fresh and elegant small courtyard and be a ‘Xiazhou person’ for a few days to have an in-depth tour that fully experiences the local customs and culture. High-quality and delicious sugarcane and lychees once brought the reputation of ‘Sweet Village’ to Xiazhou Village. Now, the cooperation mechanism of ‘village-enterprise-people’ for entrepreneurship and mutual benefit and win-win will turn this village shaded by metasequoia into a new model for rural revitalization with beautiful countryside, prosperous industries, and rich farmers. Open all year round, open all day.
