About this audio guide
This guide to Tangjiawan in Zhuhai opens on a spring festival day in Tangjia Village, when zither music and a lion dance fill the air for a goddess's birthday. It follows Lady Golden Flower, the folk deity southern Chinese families turn to for children, and the three temples that share one compound in the old village, first raised in the Ming dynasty and rebuilt under the Qing. You'll also hear what the donations collected there once paid for.
