The Jinjiangli Diaolou Cluster was extremely comfortable during the deserted Spring Festival holiday

After leaving Jiangmen, I originally planned to visit Xinhui, but I ended up in Jinjiangli by mistake! There were hardly any people, probably not even 10 The young lady working at the entrance of the scenic area said that yesterday, the sixth day of the lunar new year, was super crowded, with severe congestion due to narrow roads~ The village is not big, you know what I mean And this place is the farthest and most remote. 🌟 Highlight Features: Jinjiangli belongs to Xiangang Town, Kaiping City, and was built by the Huang family during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty (1875-1908 AD). At the beginning of the village's construction, Huang Yigui, who had high prestige in the Huang family, drew the initial boundary line of the village. It was stipulated that the main alleys should be 1.5 meters wide, with a cross alley built every three rows, the first cross alley being 1.5 meters wide, and all subsequent cross alleys uniformly 60 centimeters wide. Uniform-sized homesteads were demarcated for clan members to purchase, with the requirement that houses be uniformly 6 meters tall. 👍 Most Recommended: The last row of the village consists of three diaolous: Ruishi Lou, Shengfeng Lou, and Jinjiang Lou. In the seventh year of the Republic of China (1918 AD), the villagers raised funds to build Jinjiang Lou in the middle of the village. Jinjiang Lou is a typical communal diaolou, 5 stories tall and 17.36 meters high, with a reinforced concrete structure, and the top floor features an overhanging platform, making it a diaolou with significant defensive features. Between the twelfth and fourteenth years of the Republic of China (1923-1925 AD), Huang Bixiu, who became wealthy from operating a money exchange and medicinal materials business in Hong Kong, built Ruishi Lou to protect the lives and property of his hometown relatives. Located to the east of Jinjiang Lou and situated on the main axis of the village's residential area, Ruishi Lou is a typical residential-style diaolou. The cement, steel, glass, and timber used for Ruishi Lou were all imported through Hong Kong, with a total investment of 30,000 Hong Kong dollars. The building was named after Huang Bixiu's pseudonym 'Ruishi', which means 'beautiful jade' or 'bi'. Ruishi Lou is a reinforced concrete structure, 9 stories tall and 25 meters high. In the seventeenth year of the Republic of China (1928 AD), Huang Fengxiu, who went to America to seek his fortune and later became a successful businessman, built Shengfeng Lou in his hometown. The name 'Shengfeng' reflects the owner's wish for family happiness and career advancement. The building is 7 stories tall and 12.34 meters high, with a reinforced concrete structure. Its exquisite and beautiful design is full of South Asian Indian architectural charm, making it a typical residential diaolou. 📝 Note tips: Here, the ticket🎫 for adults is 50, and if you go elsewhere first, you can buy a combo ticket, with Jinjiangli as a complimentary attraction
