No ticketing
A Lingnan water village inside the city's south-east orchard belt: tidal creeks, stone bridges, banyans, a Qing clan hall, a Mao-era Soviet-style village hall and the last three oyster-shell houses — walls built from shells dug out of old sand bars. Founded in the Yuan-Ming transition, 'Yingzhou' was a fruit-growers' island until artists and cafés arrived in the 2000s; it is now a national 'traditional village' and a working neighbourhood where people still live, so you are a guest. Free, open ground, no gate.

Beat the crowds
Weekends bring sketching students and day-trippers to the cafés; a weekday morning is the village itself — market, canals, old men at the hall.
Language
