a glimpse of Li Wan lake

Several years ago, I felt unfamiliar to Guangzhou, for its dialect, its culture, its notorious fame of bad security status and also for its romote.

From the beginning of this year, I begun to have chance seeing more on it. Knowing more about the people living here, walking on more ancient lanes and learning to live a GZ life.

The date was August 8, I happened to drop into the very centre of Li Wan district, the area near Li Wan lake, where comes the name of the district. And saw through my camera and caught some small seconds of local people.

the Temple of ancestors

The words reads:

The temple is to pay tribute to the kindness and bravery of ancestors.

The shining of this temple can be brighter than the stars.

I guess its meaning is:

the temple shall protect the people living around.
