On August 5, 2026, accompanied by Shen Kui, former Chair of the Budget Committee of the Guangzhou Municipal People's Congress, former Director of the Budgetary Affairs Commission of the Standing Committee of the Guangzhou Municipal People's Congress, and First-Class Inspector, Professor Siu Wai Wong and her delegation visited several villages in Zengcheng District, Guangzhou, including Xiaolou, Paitan, Zhengguo, and Shitan, where they conducted field visits and research on cases of rural conservation and development, including the Baishuizhai Jinshan Geological Museum, the Menghuabu Village Tourist Scenic Area, and the intangible cultural heritage of Mache Village.
2026年8月5日,在原广州市人大预算委员会主任委员、人大常委会预算工委主任、一级巡视员沈奎的陪同下,黄小慧教授等一行人前往广州市增城区小楼、派潭、正果、石滩等多个村庄,对白水寨金山地质博物馆、蒙花布村旅游景区及麻车村非物质文化遗产等乡村保育与发展案例进行了考察与调研。

Baishuizhai Jinshan Geological Museum 白水寨金山地质博物馆

Baishuizhai Jinshan Geological Museum is located at the Dajianshan volcanic site in Guangzhou. It is a museum of considerable value for both science education and historical research. Its collection, donated by geologists, is highly precious. Baishuizhai is widely known for its waterfall. Less well known, however, is that the waterfall stands on one of the world's highest-altitude and oldest volcanic neck sites. The area's distinctive volcanic geological landscape gives it strong potential for tourism, sightseeing, geological education, and public science outreach. Local planning authorities are actively exploring ways to extend the museum's development from an indoor exhibition model to an outdoor experiential model. The plan is to transform Dajianshan and its surrounding areas into an open, immersive natural geological park with elements of exploration and adventure. This initiative aims to move beyond the traditional single-purpose sightseeing model and usher in a new stage of high-quality development that integrates nature-based tourism, geological education, leisure and wellness, and study-tour experiences.
白水寨金山地质博物馆位于广州大尖山火山遗址,是一座兼具科普价值与历史价值的重要展馆。馆内藏品由地质学家捐赠,十分珍贵。白水寨以瀑布闻名,但较少为人所知的是,这座瀑布正矗立于世界上海拔最高、最古老的火山颈遗址之一。当地独特的火山地质景观,使其在旅游观光、地质科普和公众科学教育方面具有良好的发展潜力。目前,当地规划部门正积极探索将该馆的建设从“室内展陈”延伸至“户外体验”,计划将整个大尖山及周边区域整体打造为一座开放式、体验型、兼具探险趣味的自然地质公园。这一规划旨在突破传统单一观光模式,推动当地迈入集自然观光、地质科普、休闲康养、研学体验于一体的高质量发展新阶段。

Menghuabu Village National 3A Tourist Attraction 蒙花布村国家3A级旅游景区

Menghuabu Village is an ancient Hakka village that was once listed as one of Guangzhou's key poverty-alleviation villages. In 2023, the village was selected as one of the first exemplary villages under Guangdong Province's "High-Quality Development Project for Hundreds of Counties, Thousands of Towns, and Tens of Thousands of Villages". It was also successfully designated as a National 3A Tourist Attraction. By introducing high-quality cultural and tourism projects such as the Lotu Four Seasons RV Camp and Yunshuijian, the village has established a mutually beneficial cooperation mechanism involving the government, enterprises, and the village collective. Drawing on its distinctive ecological and Hakka cultural resources, the village has developed 11 agritainment businesses and 17 boutique homestays. Its ecological advantages are now being effectively transformed into industrial momentum that increases local incomes and supports rural prosperity.
蒙花布村是一座客家古村,曾是广州市重点扶贫村之一。2023年,该村不仅入选广东省“百千万工程”首批典型村,还成功创建为国家3A级旅游景区。通过引入乐途四季房车营地、云水间等精品文旅项目,蒙花布村成功构建起“政府 + 企业 + 村集体”的多方共赢合作机制。依托独特的生态资源与客家文化资源,村内已发展出11家农家乐和17家特色民宿。当地的生态优势正切实转化为带动村民增收、促进乡村振兴的产业动能。

Two Major Intangible Cultural Heritage Projects in Mache Village 麻车村两大非物质文化遗产

1. Laotu Soy Sauce Intangible Cultural Heritage Production Base
A century-old taste of Zengcheng Shitan soy sauce. The production base has consistently upheld twelve core procedures of traditional soy sauce brewing. With craftsmanship and dedication, it continues to produce an authentic, mellow soy-sauce aroma, allowing this century-old soy sauce workshop to gain renewed vitality in the context of modern rural revitalization.
1. 老土酱油非遗制造基地,寻味传承百年的增城石滩豉油。该基地始终坚守十二道传统古法核心工序,以匠心酿造醇正浓郁的酱香风味,使这座百年酱园在现代乡村振兴进程中焕发出新的生命力。

2. Mache Fire Dog Dance / Mache Nightscape
A 600-year-old folk tradition originating in the Ming Dynasty. The Mache Fire Dog Dance has been passed down for more than six centuries. During major local celebrations, Mache Village stages this large-scale nighttime folk-art event. It is not only a distinctive cultural symbol of the village, but also an important bond that sustains communal memory, emotional attachment, and collective identity.
2. 麻车舞火狗 / 麻车夜色,起源于明代、传承六百年的传统民俗。麻车舞火狗已历经六百余年传承。每逢重要节庆或盛会,麻车村都会举办这一大型夜间民间艺术活动。它不仅是当地独具特色的文化名片,也是维系村落情感、延续集体记忆、强化群体认同的重要纽带。
