Feel the Poetry in Every Corner
Hidden in Guangzhou’s Zengcheng District, Gaopu Village is a living storybook. For over 400 years, local families have passed down tales of Tang Dynasty poet official Zhang Jiuling, whose spirit still echoes through the bamboo groves and rice paddies. 🌾🏞

Plan Your Adventure
Take metro Line 13 from central Guangzhou to Zengcheng. Then hop on a local bus or grab a shared e-scooter for the final stretch. Entrance is free, just bring an open mind and a charged phone for navigation.
