When it comes to the Venice Biennale it needs no introduction. The Venice Architecture Biennale is hailed as the "Olympics of architecture". Langtou Village in Guangzhou, a 700-year-old ancient Lingnan village, debuts as the first rural revitalization project from China in the exhibition hall of the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale.
When tradition meets trend in ancestral halls, the ink's fragrance turns into dancing light. Through the "Langtou Experiment" of government-enterprise-village collaboration, old houses have been reinvented into homestays, markets, and art spaces.
The landmark the ChunYangTai Arts and Cultural Center, combines a traditional library and a contemporary art gallery with permanent immersive light-and-shadow exhibitions. Head up to the rooftop terrace for sweeping views of lotus ponds and the ancient village—every snap is a stunning masterpiece.
Wandering through over 20 ancient bluestone alleys, you'll discover granite streets and carved gate towers exuding the timeless charm of Lingnan architecture at every turn.
Exploring Jimo Tower, once the grand residence of Huadu's wealthiest family, you can admire its exquisite brickwork and wood carvings. Then travel through time and space in the "Eternal Sunlight" exhibition, a time capsule of daily life from a century ago.
This hidden ancient village dates back to the late Southern Song Dynasty, and has preserved more than 300 blue-tile constructions in the style of the Ming and Qing Dynasties, along with over 20 ancestral halls and study halls. Every alley whispers tales of the past. A legend spanning over 700 years awaits your exploration.
