In 1658, the Wanfu Platoform at Zumiao was renovated,c alled Huafeng Platform, with chambers in the front and two sides, being the largest and best opera platform in Lingnan Area, which is now well preserved.
Opera Theatre :
In 1853, the first opera theatre in Foshan, Dangui Opera Theatre was established in Dawan (near current No.4 Middle School). Later on, the opera theatres like Qingping, Pujun, Taiping, Shengping, Yule and other theatres were set.
