The Wenta Park mentioned here refers to the Wenta Park in Shenjing Village on Changzhou Island in Guangzhou. The park is not big and it is free to visit. There is a three-story ancient tower called Shenjing Wenta in the park. It was built in the 20th year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (also called 21st year), that is, in 1894. The cross section is hexagonal, 18 meters high, and the base diameter is 6 meters. . There is no explanation for rebuilding. After more than a hundred years, the tower is very strong, and it has no old feeling at all. There are eaves on each floor, and the carved eaves are very unique. This is the first time I have seen this kind of eaves carved. In addition, the floating eaves of the tower are painted with paintings such as "Golden Dragon Soaring", "Colorful Phoenix Floating", "Lion Playing with Clouds" and "Kirin Driving Clouds". Also, above the gate on the first floor is written "Mountains, Bright and Beautiful", above the gate on the second floor, is written "Vibrant and flying high", and above the gate on the third floor is written "Chongxiao". The first floor of the Pagoda is dedicated to the god of land, the second floor is dedicated to the two emperors Wenchang and Guan Gong, and the third floor is dedicated to Wenkui star. It is said that the villagers of Shenjing thought that the geomantic omen here was excellent, so they built the tower here in the 20th year of Guangxu. It is also said that literati came out in large numbers in the village, and the tower was built in order to expect future generations to be better than blue. Villagers come to worship every year and festivals, pray for good weather and prosperity, and the country and the people are safe, and the newcomers also come to worship, expecting Kuixing to fight and take the lead. When I arrived today, the gate of the tower was tightly locked, but there were leftover incense feet in the incense burner in front of the tower, indicating that someone had come to worship not long ago. Shenjing Pagoda is a unique cultural landscape.

There is an ancient and graceful Venta in Shawan Ancient Town, which is located in the central area of the ancient town. The quaint Lingnan village in the village is worth visiting again and again. I remember that there was a sharp drop in the enclosed fee for tourists, and the merchants protested and had no choice but to cancel it. This is indeed the general trend of public opinion. Must obey public opinion!
