Stepping through Taiping Temple Village-South Gate is like entering a living museum of rural China. Weather-beaten houses with gray tiles cluster around cobbled paths, where exhibits of farming tools whisper tales of bygone eras. Don't miss the stone mortar rice cake workshop filling the air with sweet glutinous aroma – elders often gather under ancient banyan trees swapping stories in local dialect. Come at dawn to see sunbeams gilding laundry-dotted courtyards, and you might earn a toothless smile from farmers heading to fields with hoes on their shoulders.
