When I get tired of riding, I take a sip of authentic tofu pudding and feel refreshed.

The Gongci is the ancestral temple of the Hou clan and is the ancestral shrine dedicated to the ancestors of past dynasties. At that time, Hou Wulang, a Jinshi of the Song Dynasty, traveled here from Panyu and settled down in the feng shui blessed land.

The road is too slow and the car is too fast, so cycling is just right. The editor and Hua Ge rode for two or three minutes to reach the neighboring monuments Hong Sheng Ancient Temple and Paifeng Ancient Temple, both of which are listed as third-level historical buildings. The year of construction is difficult to determine, but it is estimated to have been built during the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty. The most popular check-in spots are the murals like the Nine Dragons between the two temples. Brother Hua took the photo in the middle, cool!
Of course, Brother Hua took photos of the hot spot Kowloon between the two temples.
