Lingnan: Beauty Beyond Borders | #Guangzhou, as the birthplace of the Maritime Silk Road, is known for the Huangpu Ancient Port, which has witnessed the prosperity of the Maritime Silk Road with a history of nearly 1,000 years. Huangpu Village, where Huangpu Ancient Port is located, is one of the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Ancient Villages in Guangdong". As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, the Huangpu Ancient Port was well known for gathering merchant ships around the world. After the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Guangzhou gradually became a unique foreign trade port, when the Huangpu Ancient Port entered its most glorious period. It is recorded that during the period when Guangzhou was the only city that allowed trade, there were more than 5000 foreign merchant ships moored in Huangpu Ancient Port. One of the most famous Swedish merchant ships "East Indiaman Gotheborg" visited Huangpu Ancient Port thrice with silks, tea, porcelain, and other goods loaded back every time. #SplendidLingnan #Guangdong
