Urban Village, a strange integration of rural life into the cities, is not unique to Guangzhou. During the urbanization of the vast rural area, many villages are simply engulfed by cities and struggle to maintain a certain features of their own, like the family temple and the Feng Shui pond in its front. However, as time elapses, local residents, the original villagers, after benefiting from the urbanization and making big profit from renting their houses, have moved out of such villages and leave their villages to new immigrants who come into the cities to make a living. This is a window to look into the social evolution of the country and you cannot afford to miss it.
