Kaiping Diaolou "Zili Village"

Kaiping Diaolou is the only "World Heritage" in Guangdong Province and is definitely worth a visit. But if you can only visit one of the many Diaolou scenic spots, then choose "Zili Village". Although it does not have the beauty of "Liyuan", it excels in being more numerous, larger and more comprehensive, concentrating on a variety of architectural styles such as watchtowers, villas and houses. It also has the typical village layout of the Siyi area, with a pond at the entrance of the village, a land temple in front of the village and a private school in the village. Overseas Chinese returning from all over the world have also brought back different architectural styles here. The most famous "Ming Shek Building" is the home of "Huang Si Lang" played by Chow Yun-fat in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly". Be sure to go up to the building to have a panoramic view. After visiting Zili Village, I felt very complicated. If it weren't for the pressure of life, who would be willing to leave their hometown? If it were a peaceful and prosperous time, who would confine themselves in a watchtower!
