⏰Time: Open all day
🚅Transportation: Take the high-speed train from Dongguan Humen Station to Kaiping South Station for 1.5 hours, and then take a taxi for 20 minutes to arrive.
Speaking of Chikan, the feelings for it originated from letting the bullet fly this movie. The ancient city of Chikan, without the tranquility of Lijiang, without the beauty of the phoenix, without the warmth of Wuzhen, has its unique depth. It can be an ancient town with stories. There is no affair, no drunken dreams, but it has a unique overseas Chinese culture in Guangdong Province. Whether in the field of architecture or at the spiritual level, it has seen past events in South China. Its cultural history has unlimited connotations. Chikan is built along the Tanjiang River. The south bank is a village, and the north bank is a city. It is a unique arcade building, far more than the huge foreign buildings in Kaiping Old Street. On the east bank of the embankment along the river, the Zhonghua Road, which is parallel to it, is sandwiched between two roads and there is a small road called Two Roads. This is a three-horizon parallel with the river, and there are many vertical roads crossing them. Form the road network of the city. Chikan Town has a quaint taste of Chinese and Western. Therefore, it is called "the fifth ancient town in China". Old tree, old building. Slate paved road, square column window, square ruler, solid wood bed. The lengthy and deep tone of the gray, the architectural style of the combination of Chinese and Western, the tower building built along the river, there is no gorgeous, no publicity, and there is no way to talk about the amazing word. For hundreds of years, silently watching the other side of the river,

Tangkou Liyuan Kaiping Jingmen Guangdong
Kaiping is nicknamed 'the home of overseas Chinese' as huge numbers of emigrants left this area beginning in the late nineteenth century. Many settled abroad and Taishanese, the local language, is still spoken around the world. Others returned home with both wealth and inspiration. They imported what were then new western inventions like flush toilets and radios and built houses in their home villages inspired by the architecture they'd seen in Europe and the Americas.
The most distinctive of their buildings are diaolou, fortified towers crowned with ostentatious baroque or neoclassical penthouses. They served both as residences and defence against bandits. They can be found in various places, but especially in Kaiping, where they are recognised as a Unesco world heritage site. Many are scattered singly or in pairs throughout the countryside but there are a few diaolou clusters where you can see many in a small area and even climb up a few of them, as well as seeing the Republic of China period furnishings inside. The surroundings are very rural, not much changed a century after these eccentric towers were raised.
Kaiping is an easy day- or weekend-trip from Guangzhou. From Kaiping Railway Station it's easiest to get a taxi to one of the diaolou clusters.
Be sure to taste the local speciality baozaifan, rice cooked in a clay pot until the bottom gets crusty, served with various toppings.

Kaiping 开平,this is how does Guangdong small provincial city looks like. Mostly people arrive here to take buses and immediately transfer to Dialou scenic spots located in several villages around Kaiping city.
Kaiping at a glance is very calm place where life is slow and peaceful existence. Good is typical Guangdong food but offered for lowest price.

Naqing Peninsula Geological Ocean Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Mar)

Located around 45km from Yangjiang city, we arrived to explore this nice Naqing Geological Ocean Park. When you park your car and buy ticket, which is 98rmb, you can enjoy inside for a few hours. Dogs are allowed to enter too but need to be on leash.
Walking around cost, relaxing on 3 different beaches, climbing rocks and getting little bit of Greek magic is what you can expect inside. There is also a restaurant so if you are hungry you can eat some local food.
If you want to spend night or few days at this location it's possible because they have hotel and many room options.

Mid-Autumn National Day must choose Naqin Peninsula super detailed guide
Day trip from Jiangmen to Naqin Peninsula🏖️
This self-driving trip was very pleasant for me! Here is my itinerary guide:
🚗 Travel:
I drove from Yangjiang to Naqin Peninsula, about an hour's drive, relatively close.
🎫 Tickets:
The group purchase price is 93 yuan/person, and the on-site purchase is 98 yuan/person. Although I couldn't group purchase because I didn't book in advance, the price difference is not big and still acceptable. Remind friends who have plans to book in advance, you can save some fees.
📸 Photography:
I like to take pictures, so I left plenty of time. I started taking pictures and playing from one or two in the afternoon until more than six o'clock, the time is very ample. Each photo point is very beautiful, suitable for taking big pictures. In addition, the wedding photography base is also a good place to take pictures, but be careful to give priority to them when you encounter a wedding photography team.
🦀 Eating and drinking:
Although I didn't mention food recommendations this time, I can enjoy food in Yangjiang on the way back.
It seems to have had a wonderful day trip, fully enjoying the natural scenery and the fun of taking pictures. Hope to have fun!🚗🌞📷
Beautiful sea, blue sky, beautiful scenery! A very good place!
I can't believe that you can see such a landscape while hiking in Guangdong!!!! This kind of scenery is really good
Everything that should be there is there, there are mountains, sea and stones
The rubble group on the other side of the top of the mountain looks like the Gobi Desert in the northwest
And there is an invincible sea view
The most important thing is that it is good for leisure and easy to climb
Parking: Taishan Quanlin Golden Coast (there is a place to park at the end)
Route: Small loop line (10km), you can also go through five bays
Time: 6 hours
Jiangmen Naqin Peninsula | Pretend to be in Santorini
📍Naqin Peninsula Geology and Ocean Park
🎫Adult ticket: 98 yuan, child/senior ticket: 45 yuan (can be purchased directly from a certain group).
🅿️Parking: There is a parking lot next to the ticket office (free).
🕒Business hours: 5:00am to 7:00pm (pure photography allowed for 3 hours)
Done)
The plank road is a bit long and has many rough and rocky paths. It is recommended to wear sports shoes to walk, which is not tiring. Along the natural plank road, through ups and downs, squeezing through narrow gaps between rocks, and circling the entire island, you can take photos directly with the aperture. There are pavilions for resting along the way, and the staff said that occasionally white dolphins may appear! Looking out over the entire sea, the mood is super comfortable!
The boardwalk passes several beaches 🏖️. Since we went in the morning and the sun was quite strong, we didn't go into the water. But we visited the Guopai International Wedding Photography Base 👰🏼🤵🏼, which is a holy land for wedding photography. Along the way, there are all kinds of dreamy locations, including St. Tony-style buildings, blue-green seas, photo props, and Nordic-Korean styles. The sunlight is so good that you don't need a filter for your photos! This is the longest photo shoot location. There is an electric car shuttle to the scenic spot (10 yuan per trip), and free shuttle service is available for guests staying at the hotel in the scenic area.
I think the scenery on Lover's Lane is also very nice. There are Chinese versions of " "}I love you" "}, digital versions of " "}520" "}, and Korean road signs on the side of the road, which is very interesting! Anyway, every scenery on the Qinzhou Peninsula is beautiful, and there is no chance for you to stop and take pictures 😂.
🍜Next to the Naqin Peninsula, there is a small village with many seafood 🦞stalls, but we ultimately chose to drive ten kilometers to Yangjiang's " "}Dongping No.1" "} for seafood. Our friends strongly recommended it, saying that it had been interviewed by CCTV and was very delicious 😋 and cheap. Two people ate to their heart's content for just over two hundred yuan 👍🏻.
Suggestion: Wearing white, blue, or yellow clothes with the venue will look great in photos!

World Cultural Heritage - Kaiping Diaolou
Kaiping Diaolou and villages are located in Kaiping City, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province. They are multi-storey tower-style buildings that integrate defense, living, and Chinese and Western architectural art. The Diaolou was built in the mid-16th century in the late Ming Dynasty. The early Diaolou was mainly traditional Chinese residential buildings, built by overseas Chinese.
From the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century, a large number of Chinese workers who traveled to the United States and Canada built Diaolou after accumulating some industries. They also brought back the architectural styles of other countries, incorporating elements of Western architecture such as ancient Roman and Greek columns, Byzantine dome roofs, mountain flowers, and Baroque architectural styles, and the architectural styles of the Byzantine and Gothic periods in the Middle Ages in Europe. The architectural shape is mostly upper and lower simple, which is a combination of Chinese and Western architectural art.
The Kaiping Diaolou Cultural Tourism Area is mainly composed of Liyuan, Zili Village Diaolou Group and Majianglong Diaolou Group. At its peak, there were more than 3,000, and in the 21st century, there were more than 1,800 well-preserved Diaolou in Kaiping, scattered in various villages. In 2007, Kaiping Diaolou and villages were included in the 'World Heritage List'.
Kaiping Diaolou can be divided into green brick buildings, mud buildings, stone buildings, and reinforced concrete buildings according to building materials; according to location and function, they can be divided into watchtowers, public buildings, and residential buildings. The watchtower is also known as the lantern tower or the watchtower. It is generally funded by the whole village and is located at the entrance of the village or outside the mountain. It is used for lookout and sentry. The Fang's Lighthouse and the South Gate North Gate Tower are the most representative.
The public building is a Diaolou built by the whole village or several villagers. For example, the Yinglong Building in Sanmenli Village and the Tianlu Building in Majianglong Village have simple Diaolou shapes, few external decorations, and strong defense. When an accident occurs, the villagers hide in the building, so the public building is generally located in the middle or side of the village. The residential building is funded by the owner alone, with complete living facilities, beautiful appearance, both living and defense functions, mostly 4-5 floors, the most numerous, built behind the village.
Among the many types of Diaolou, residential buildings are the most numerous and common. The scenic area also preserves the watchtowers represented by Fang's Lighthouse and the public buildings represented by Yinglong Building. Most of the existing Diaolou buildings are made of reinforced concrete. The indoor space is mostly narrow, and in order to save expenses, the floors are mostly covered with wooden boards; there are windows opening downwards on the surrounding walls, equipped with iron windows; on the roof, in order to accurately warn, there are protruding square or round corner castles, equipped with shooting holes.
In the Diaolou, the gate is the only way in and out. The door panel is made of heavy steel plate. There are usually three or four locks inside the door. There is an iron gate outside the door. Above the door, there is a small hole, which is very strong.
The Kaiping Diaolou Group is a classic work of integrating Chinese and Western architecture. We contemporary people appreciate them, they are very artistic, and they shine with the surrounding rural landscape, witnessing the prosperity and prosperity of the local area for hundreds of years.
The representative of Lingnan style architecture - Zili Village
The Diaolou in Kaiping, Jiangmen is a unique scenic spot, these Diaolou are the masterpieces of Lingnan architecture. Like the nearby Tulou, the existing Diaolou are precious historical relics that have been preserved. There are several scenic spots in the Diaolou of Kaiping, the most representative of which is the Diaolou of Zili Village. The combination of Diaolou architecture and the beautiful natural scenery around it is a beautiful picture.
There are many famous villages in the south of the Yangtze River, and there are not so many famous villages in Guangdong. This view is actually a little one-sided. If you go to Kaiping Country, you will find many strange villages, such as Zili Village.
Zili Village is located in Tangkou Town, Kaiping. It was famous at the end of the 20th century. Tourists went on sightseeing in the early 21st century, but what really made it famous was Jiang Wens blockbuster movie Let the Bullets Fly. Because Zili Village used to be one of the main locations.
Into Zili Village, the most striking thing is that all the buildings in the village are like bunkers, and the locals call this building a "tower". Some of the towers in Zili Village are funded by the villagers, and some are built by overseas Chinese. Because the Kaiping terrain is low, the old buildings suffer from shackles, and the buildings in the towers are waterproof and thieves-proof.
The Mingshi Building in the village was built in 1925. The owner Fang Runwen is an American overseas Chinese. He had run a restaurant in his early years and later made a grocery store. Ming Runwen, who was built by Fang Runwen, is the main location of Let the Bullets Fly. The middle and lower structures are relatively simple, the upper part is complex and gorgeous, the columns are Romanesque, and the six-storey frontal flowers are baroque. The building is currently a national key cultural relic. Protected units are also listed on the World Heritage List.
Because it is located in Lingnan, there is no cold in winter. Zili Village can see green all year round. The green seedlings and golden rice ears in the busy season are the most beautiful, and there are rapeseed in spring.
