#TheGreatBeautyofGuangdong From an aerial view of Liantang Village in Huadu, Guangzhou, you can see that the village is surrounded by nine emerald green ponds, with a central green space resembling blooming lotus leaves. The village is interconnected by water, with houses, trees, vegetable fields, and ponds stretching along the river. The lakes and ponds, divided by crisscrossing paths, take on various shapes, adorned with patches of green vegetable fields. The village houses, made of red bricks, radiate outwards like spokes, with occasional ancient houses, ancestral halls, and watchtowers leaving traces of history in between.

从空中俯瞰广州花都莲塘村可以看到，村落周边镶嵌有9口碧绿水塘，中间一块绿地似伸展的莲叶铺展。莲塘村以水为脉，屋舍、树木、菜田、水塘沿着河流展开。纵横阡陌分割出不同形状的湖泊水塘，碧绿色的水塘间菜田点缀，红砖建造村舍沿着放射线铺开，中间偶有古屋、祠堂、碉楼留着历史的印记。
