会同村是一座有着200多年历史的古村落，它有着悠久的历史。追溯到1880年代，当时，莫氏家族选中了这块风水宝地，并借鉴了西方的社区理念来建立了这个村子。青砖灰瓦、飞檐，古香古色、布局整齐，莫家族为后世建造了一个人间仙境。进入二十世纪，这个村庄曾一度凋敝而渐渐被人们所遗忘。但是，为了保护这个日渐衰落的岭南村庄，许多有识之士逐步投入到这些古建筑的保护与修复的工作中去。

Few people live in the ancient village of Huitong nowadays, but it has a rich past, dating as far back as the 1880s when a traders family built it ground up in a deserted area, designed for “life in a community” and in contact with nature at the same time. Having in mind many Feng Shui principles and using the typical for southern China grey bricks, the Mo family built a paradise on earth, but not much attention was payed to the village in the second half of 20th century. Almost forgotten in the times of economic development, with houses half destructed by nature, this cultural and historical heritage is today being rebuilt. New walls and roofs are emerging in this traditional Lingnan style, but the materials are still the same - ecological and sustainable. Life is flourishing back into the streets of Huitong as tourists and children visit every day. The bricks of Huitong are coming back together.
