Here are well-preserved enclosed house buildings. It is quiet, beautiful and full of life. If you drive there by yourself and pass by the roadside of Renshan Town, you can see the sign of ‘Top Ten Ancient Villages in Guangdong’. The history of the village can be traced back to the first year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty. Now, it is still a ‘lively’ ancient village. Walking casually in Fanhe Village, you can see villagers drying clothes in the alley, and you can also see children after school gathering at the entrance of the alley to play. There are few tourist groups here. Even on weekends, most of them are travelers or photography enthusiasts who come here because of its reputation. Speaking of the scenic spots in the village, the attractions of the entire Fanhe Village are roughly ancient enclosed houses, numerous temples, Gothic Catholic churches, ancient stages and small hills. Some villagers’ houses have been renovated with modern bricks and tiles later, but the large stones and bluestone roads in front of the houses still retain an ancient charm. Almost every household in the village worships gods. In front of many people’s houses and ancestral halls, there are incense offerings, very devout. In front of some temples, there will be stages. At present, there are three ancient stages, namely Shuixianye Stage, Maqian Stage and Chenghuangmiao Stage. There are a total of five ancient stages existing in Huidong County, and here three of them are preserved. Open all year round and open all day.
