Fengjian Village

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fengjian Village (Chinese: 逢简) is a village in Xingtan Town, Shunde, Foshan, Guangdong, China[1][2] with a total area of 5.22 square kilometres (2.02 sq mi).

The village has a long history and features historic sites throughout. It has three stone arch bridges: the Juji (Chinese: 巨济桥) and Mingyuan Bridges (Chinese: 明远桥) built in the Song Dynasty (960–1279), and the Jin'ao Bridge (Chinese: 金鳌桥), given building permission by the Kangxi Emperor during the Qing Dynasty (1644–1911). Ancient temples, shrines and houses abound amongst a network of rivers and streams. Due to comparisons of the local scenery with the noted sights of Zhouzhuang in Jiangsu province, the village is also known as the "Zhouzhuang of Shunde" (顺德周庄).[3][4]
