Sangyuanwei, the “Great Wall on water” that “guards” Foshan for more than 900 years, is the most representative project of basic irrigation conservancy in the Pearl River Delta, and also the largest basic irrigation conservancy project in ancient China. 

“护卫”佛山900余年的“水上长城”——桑园围，是珠三角基围水利最具代表性的工程，也是中国古代最大的基围水利工程。

Thanks to irrigation of Sangyuanwei, this place has long become “the largest grain area in eastern Guangdong”. 

得益于桑园围灌溉之利，围内早已成为“粤东粮命最大之区”。

Sangyuanwei is rich in flood control classics and figures, temples for the water god and relevant worshipping activities, ancient wells and bridges and dragon boat culture. These all have witnessed the 900-year history of Foshan’s development.

同时，桑园围有着丰富的治水典籍、治水人物、水神庙宇以及相关的祭祀活动、古井古桥、龙舟文化等，见证了佛山发展的900多年历史。
