Shawan Ancient Town (Chinese: 沙湾古镇) is an 800 year old town located in the Panyu District of Guangzhou in southern China, founded during the Song Dynasty. It's traditionally linked to the historical and folk Lingan culture.[1][2]
The Town area covers 153 hectares and it's divided into an east village, west village, and north village. Guangdong dessert Jiang Zhuang Nai, a ginger-flavored milk curd, originated in Shawan.[2][3]
