The long Qingyun Lane, the quaint sliding doors, the exquisite Manchurian windows, the winding streams, and the clear ponds exude the charm of Lingnan water towns everywhere. Among them, the wok-ear wall is named because its shape is similar to the handle of a cooking pot. In the Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, only people with official titles were qualified to build it.
