Pan Tang is a tranquil and beautiful village in the prosperous city of Guangzhou, next to the Liwan Lake Park. With a history of over 900 years, it is the most complete rural settlement with multiple family names in Guangzhou's historical urban area. After hundreds of years of ups and downs, it became ruined and desolate. Fortunately, it was included in the first urban renewal project for preservation. Thus, the ancient village has received a multi-dimensional renovation. And many aborigines and tourists make the ancient village lively. Here, a glance may last for a thousand years. 

若要在繁华的广州城中觅一处静美古村，荔湾区的泮塘五约当可入选。泮塘五约紧邻荔湾湖公园，有900多年历史，是广州历史城区中几乎仅见的保留最完整的多姓宗族共居的乡土聚落。数百年的风霜雨雪，曾令这个古村渐渐出现了断壁残垣，所幸的是，这里被列为了广州首个以“保留”为目的的城市更新项目，让泮塘五约实现了多维度的改造更新。不少原住民和游客让这个古村烟火气十足。一起走进古村，体验“一眼千年”的感受吧。
