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 is traditionally linked to the historical and folk Lingan culture.[1][2]
The town area covers 153 hectares; and it is 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]
