Shuikouying Village has enjoyed the reputation of "three Jinshi(scholars) in three consecutive imperial examinations and two students studied in the Imperial College on the same list". Starting

　　from Shang Tinghuan, Shang Yanliu's father, four generations of the Shang's family were devoted to literature and two Jinshi got out from the family in succession. As a result, the Shang's family is said to be synonym for "a scholarly family" in modern Guangdong. The last "Tanhua(rank the third in the imperial examinations)" of China, Shang Yanliu, was a descendant of the Shang's family in the village.

　　RECOMMENDED VIEWING FOCUS

　　Tourists are recommended to visit not only the hometown and former residence of China's last Tanhua, but also a group of precious "Erythrophleum fordii forests" inShuikouying Village.
