Agricultural tourism gives Nansha's Dawen village boost

Dawen village is a scenic destination in Nansha, Guangzhou. It is known for its agriculture and tourism, offering visitors a chance to immerse themselves in the beauty of the countryside while enjoying various activities and experiences.

As one of the earliest agricultural tourism demonstration sites in Guangzhou, the village has created a 1.5-kilometer fruit and vegetable greenway. This features 16 varieties of unique fruits and vegetables, including alligator pumpkins, mouse melons, chestnut pumpkins, and snake beans.

In addition, the village boasts the first water greenway in Guangzhou. Tourists can board a bamboo-covered boat at the dock and navigate their way through this, enjoying the scenic countryside along the way and hearing the melodious songs of the boatwomen. This activity has become an essential experience for visitors to the village.
