Zengcheng Jianxian County in Guangzhou was established in the sixth year of Jian'an in the Eastern Han Dynasty (201 AD), under the jurisdiction of Nanhai Commandery, with a history of over 1800 years. Here, with picturesque scenery and outstanding people, Guangfu culture and Hakka culture coexist harmoniously, and it has now become a famous hometown of lychees and silk, seedlings, and rice in the country. This unique Lingnan pearl attracts a group of people who come to admire it with its unique charm and charm. The ancient charm and modern style, with a profound cultural heritage, make Zengcheng an important carrier of Lingnan culture. In ancient legends, the Eight Immortals cross the sea, each displaying their divine abilities, depicting magnificent and fantastical scenes. Among these eight immortals, the only female fairy He Xiangu's hometown is Zengcheng. On this land, the He Xiangu family temple is still preserved today, and the ceiling in the temple is also the legendary holy land where He Xiangu ascended to immortality. On the stone wall beside the well, there are eight big characters engraved with the words "Immortal source trickles down, drinkers for thousands of years", as if telling the legendary story of He Xiangu. For hundreds of years, the legend of He Xiangu has nurtured every inch of land in Zengcheng like this trickling courtyard, endowing the city with a unique aura and character. Zengcheng has numerous ancient architectural complexes, which makes it worth mentioning the Kengbei Village in Zhongxin Town, which has a history of over 780 years. The village pattern was formed in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties and has been preserved to this day. It is an extremely rare historical and cultural heritage in the Zengcheng area and even the entire Lingnan region. There is also Gualing Village, which has a history of more than 500 years. The village still preserves Lingnan architecture from the Ming and Qing dynasties, such as the Ningyuan Diaolou, Huang's Temple, and Nanhua Academy, with 20 immovable cultural relics and tens of thousands of square meters of overseas Chinese architecture. They have both the charm of traditional Lingnan dwellings and an exotic atmosphere, reflecting the unique cultural charm of Gualing Village. Zengcheng has also launched intangible cultural heritage experience activities such as Guangzhou Lantern Carving, Dancing Pixiu, and Dancing Spring Bull, allowing residents and tourists to experience the charm of local traditional culture firsthand, promoting the inheritance and development of traditional culture. People and nature coexist harmoniously. Zengcheng is not only known for its rich historical heritage, but also has become an important ecological gateway in the eastern part of Guangzhou due to its superior geographical location, abundant natural resources, and sustainable green economy. Here, nature and culture complement each other, profoundly interpreting the Guangdong practical path of "green mountains and clear waters are invaluable assets". Whether it is the natural beauty of green mountains and waters, or the modern atmosphere of a bustling city, they have all been perfectly integrated and displayed on the land of Zengcheng. Zengcheng actively responds to the requirements of high-quality development of the ecological environment, implementing the "eight major projects" of greening, beautification, and ecological construction, transforming ecological advantages into development advantages, injecting new vitality into Zengcheng's economic and social development. Zengcheng has always adhered to the integrated development of forestry and cultural tourism industries, creating a forest tourism industry cluster represented by Baishuizhai and Forest Sea. Among them, Baishuizhai, as the only national forest park in Guangzhou, is famous for its fresh air, dense forests, and spectacular waterfalls, and is known as the "landscape business card" of Guangdong. Here, the mountains are high, the forests are dense, and the rainfall is abundant. The abundant rainfall has created the White Narcissus Waterfall with a drop of 428.5 meters, which is also the waterfall with the largest drop in mainland China. Baishuizhai is not only a lush natural treasure, but also a military stronghold with nearly 500 years of history. Baishui Village was built during the Jiajing period of the Ming Dynasty. It witnessed the flow of time and the changes of the times, and has become an important historical relic in Guangdong region and even the entire southern China. While protecting historical relics, Zengcheng District is also committed to the construction of the ecological environment, bringing new vitality and vigor to this ancient military town. In addition, there is also the Dafengmen Scenic Area, which combines the advantages of mountains and rivers with unique natural landscapes. It focuses on the "kangaroo" IP, integrates parent-child sports and education, and has a colorful Australian tourism world. The Lihu Scenic Area, which boasts a hundred hectares of rippling lake light and a myriad of tender poetic landscapes, is also home to the Zengcheng Gallery, which combines landscapes such as mountains, forests, fields, lakes, and grass with leisure, recreation, and historical and cultural elements. The Shiye Mountain, the "first ray of sunshine" check-in destination in Guangzhou, is truly a scenic spot that is breathtaking. Authentic cuisine and a feast of taste buds, Lingshan and Xiushui have nurtured a unique culinary culture. Zengcheng's culinary culture has a long history, reflecting the harmonious coexistence of Guangfu culture and Hakka culture, and has always attracted the attention of countless diners. For example, Zhengguo Wonton with a long history, thin skin and delicious stuffing, is a typical representative of Guangfu cuisine in the water town, and has also been included in the fifth batch of district level intangible cultural heritage representative projects in Zengcheng District; Zengcheng lychee is famous for its delicious meat and sweet taste; Zengcheng silk seedling rice is highly praised for its slender grains, crystal clear, and soft and sticky taste; Zengcheng Guwu roasted pork belly is made from local lychee wood on the basis of traditional roasted pork belly. When consumed, it has a strong fruity aroma, with a crispy and loose leather, juicy and elastic meat that melts upon entry, and is fat but not greasy; Zengcheng Chi Cai Xin is also known as the "king of vegetable hearts". Its planting history is long and its taste is delicious. Whether it is simple saltwater cooking or complex pig oil residue frying, it can highlight its crispy and sweet taste and original taste. Zengcheng will also hold a variety of food festival activities, such as the Chi Cai Xin Food Culture Festival. Through diverse and distinctive activities such as cultural performances, folk experiences, creative markets, interactive check-in, and food tasting, Zengcheng will fully leverage the empowering role of excellent culture. With food as the carrier and in a "down-to-earth" way, it will inherit and promote the unique charm of Lingnan culture. (Lai Xin She)
