About #
Panyu is a district—the third level of administrative division in China—of Guangzhou prefecture. It lies at the heart of the Pearl River Delta. Facing the Lion Sea in the east and the estuary of the Pearl River in the south, its eastern border is separated from Dongguan by a strip of water, and the western border of Panyu is adjacent to the cities of Nanhai, Shunde, and Zhongshan, while it abuts the downtown of Guangzhou in the north. Although its area is much smaller than the world’s largest cities, its population certainly exceeds many of the big metropolises.
Population: There are around 1.8 million people living in Panyu—that’s as many people as there are in the state of Idaho.
Scenery: Today, Panyu is experiencing rapid change every single day. However, some corners have managed to preserve traces of life during the Song dynasty. True to its name (Yu means “ancient area”), Panyu’s Shawan village will transport you back in time. Imagine the inspiration that ancient scholars and artists drew from the scenery around their (now wonderfully preserved) houses and shrines. Perhaps your ancestors lived here in a stone house and spent mornings strolling along the riverbanks. The Lotus Mountain and the Baomo Garden were surely magical spots where the people of Panyu retreated to spend time with nature, gather their thoughts, or nowadays, escape the pressures of city life.
History: A short history of the place’, ‘value’: “The name ‘Panyu’ is even older than Guangzhou or Guangdong! Previously, it served as the capital of the Nanyue Kingdom in the 2nd century B.C. and functioned early on as a center for maritime trade with foreign countries.
During the Qing dynasty, your ancestors were most probably affected by the two-decades-long Coastal Clearance ordered by the imperial government to provide a buffer zone against attacks from Ming adherents led by the pirate Koxinga, who had ousted the Dutch from the island of Taiwan and established a base there.
Claim to Fame: Panyu hosts the oldest parts of Guangzhou, dating all the way back to the Qin dynasty, the first dynasty of imperial China (221-206 BC). Many Hong Kong singers, actors, directors, and producers trace their ancestry to Panyu. Edmund Ho, the first Chief Executive of the Macao SAR, has also traced his family roots to Panyu.
Food: Panyu district is one of the birthplaces of Cantonese food. Its specialty dishes have a long and rich history. There is a famous saying: “Guangzhou food has its roots in Panyu and its flavor in Panyu.” Some of the Cantonese staple dishes include fried rice, congee, sweet and sour pork, char siu, various types of fried noodles, and many others. Some of the local Panyu specialties are the Shawan ginger milk and Dashi pickled tofu.
Where did the Overseas Chinese go? Panyu is one of China’s oldest places of contact with foreign merchants. It was also a place rampant with pirates and thieves; at the time, many criminals fled to Malaysia and Singapore.
After the Opium Wars and the rise of Western imperialism, many left as contract laborers or coolies for the Americas or Southeast Asia. In the 1880s many countries, including the United States, Canada, and Australia, passed laws prohibiting the entry of Chinese workers, which ended the largest wave of migrant workers leaving Panyu.
Today, the majority of overseas Chinese from Panyu live in the United States and Canada. An estimated 54,000 people, spread across 38 countries, trace their roots to this area.
