Guest User: We are from Canada and this is our second time staying here. We were here last year with our elderly father in law and we very much enjoyed our stay so we decided to stay here again on the Executive Suite level. The rooms are spacious and clean and the staff are very friendly and helpful. We enjoy the daily breakfast and then the included tea time, dinner and laundry service package which is fabulous and all for an unbeatable price! They even replace a button on your shirt if needed when they do your laundry! The heated multi-functional toilet is nice. Communication is not an issue as some staff speak English or we use our translator app with no issues at all. Amazing service! We quite enjoy the Gladden Hotel.

The easiest way to waste money at Kaiping Diaolou is to buy single tickets at each spot. Based on my personal experience, the ¥180 combo ticket includes the four major scenic areas—Zili Village, Li Garden, Majianglong, and Jinjiangli—and is valid for 2 days, saving you a significant amount compared to buying single tickets. You don't need to visit all of them on a one-day trip. Climbing Mingshi Building in Zili Village, seeing the gardens at Li Garden, and enjoying the pastoral scenery at Majianglong covers the highlights and the atmosphere. The Diaolou are scattered across the fields, with a 10–20 minute drive between each, so driving or taking a taxi is the most practical way to connect them. 📍 Get the basics down first · Combo ticket: ¥180/person, includes Zili Village, Li Garden, Majianglong, and Jinjiangli, valid for 2 days. Buying single tickets for Zili Village (¥78), Li Garden (¥100), Majianglong (¥50), and Jinjiangli (¥50) is clearly less cost-effective than the combo ticket. · Opening hours: Li Garden approx. 9:00 AM–5:40 PM, Zili Village approx. 9:10 AM–5:35 PM, Majianglong approx. 9:20 AM–5:30 PM. Climbing to the top floors stops around 5:00 PM, so don't wait until evening to enter. · Transportation: Take the high-speed train to Kaiping South Station. From there, it's about a 20-minute taxi ride to Zili Village. Bus 617 also goes to the scenic area. If driving, navigate to "Kaiping Diaolou Cultural Tourism Zone." Parking at each scenic area is ¥5/time. · Important reminder: The stairs in the Diaolou are steep and some floors are narrow. Flat shoes are a must; do not wear high heels or flip-flops. 🚶 Tested route (Start with Zili Village, finish with Li Garden and Majianglong) 08:30 Zili Village (approx. 2.5–3 hours): Mingshi Building is the core, the filming location for Huang Silang's mansion in "Let the Bullets Fly." It's a five-story Diaolou with a hexagonal glazed tile pavilion on top. Climb to the top for a view of the rice fields and the Diaolou cluster. The "swallow's nest" on the top floor is an iconic photo spot. The village also has Zhen'an Building, Yangxian Villa, Yunhuan Building, etc. Walk slowly along the rice field paths; the Diaolou framed with the fields is the quintessential Kaiping scene. 11:30 Lunch nearby: Eel claypot rice or Chikan tofu cubes. 13:00 Li Garden (approx. 1.5 hours): A private garden built by overseas Chinese, featuring a blend of Chinese and Western villas and courtyards. The reflection in the pond is a hidden photo spot, perfect for capturing the symmetrical beauty of the Diaolou in the water. In the afternoon, the light passes through the colonnades and arches, showing the best architectural layers. 15:00 Majianglong (approx. 1.5 hours): Quieter than Zili Village, with Diaolou hidden among bamboo forests and fields. There are fewer tourists, making it perfect for a slow walk and taking photos. If you're short on time, you can skip Jinjiangli. Although Ruishi Building is tall, it's in a remote location, so don't feel pressured to squeeze it into a one-day trip. 🏨 Where to stay · One-day trip: Stay in downtown Kaiping or near Chikan Ancient Town. In the evening, you can stroll through the Chikan arcade streets and have a bowl of firewood-cooked claypot rice. · For a slower pace: Stay at a Diaolou homestay near Zili Village or Li Garden to fully immerse yourself in the pastoral atmosphere. The combo ticket is valid for 2 days, so you can visit Majianglong or Jinjiangli on the second day. 🍜 Must-eats · Eel claypot rice: A Kaiping signature. Cooked over firewood to create crispy rice at the bottom. I recommend Tangkou Wenji—the crispy rice is so good you'll want to lick the bowl. · Chikan tofu cubes: Tofu pan-fried until golden, stuffed with minced meat, and brushed with sauce. ¥5 per serving, perfect for eating on the go. · Magang goose: A traditional Kaiping specialty with firm meat and rich sauce. 📷 Must-visit photo spots · Top floor of Mingshi Building: Overlook the rice fields and Diaolou cluster. Best during the golden hour in the evening. · Li Garden pond reflection: Symmetrical composition of Diaolou and gardens in the water. Best captured when the afternoon light is soft. · Zili Village rice field path: Take photos of people walking or running with the Diaolou as the background for the best atmosphere. · Majianglong bamboo forest Diaolou: Use the bamboo forest as the foreground to let the Diaolou peek through the greenery for a serene feel. ⚠️ Practical tips ✅ Buy the ¥180 combo ticket: Valid for 2 days. If you can't finish in one day, you can use it the next day. Buying single tickets is definitely not cost-effective. ✅ Wear flat shoes: The stairs in the Diaolou are steep and narrow. Do not wear high heels or flip-flops. Safety first. ✅ Drive or take a taxi: The attractions are scattered across the fields, and public transport is limited. Driving is the most convenient, followed by taxis. ✅ Mosquito and sun protection: There are many mosquitoes in the countryside, so bring long pants and mosquito repellent. The UV rays by the rice fields are also strong. ✅ Check actual operating hours: Closing times for climbing the towers vary slightly by location. Confirm with official announcements on the morning of your trip. A day at Kaiping Diaolou is all about the "combo ticket + climbing Mingshi Building in Zili Village first + Li Garden in the afternoon light." The Diaolou are more than just buildings; they are the way overseas Chinese brought the world back home. If you have any questions, ask in the comments section, and I'll reply when I see them 💕 Images are for reference only; please refer to the actual on-site scenery.
The best decision I made for this food and street tour in Taishan was booking the Taishan Xingji Hotel (Taishan Historical and Cultural District Branch)! It's located at 49 Huanshi East Road, Taicheng. For a traveler like me who loves exploring old cities on foot, it's the perfect place to stay 🚶♀️🌿 📍 Location | Everything you need for eating, drinking, and exploring A short taxi ride from the hotel takes you straight to the Taishan Historical and Cultural District. It's perfect for an evening stroll to see the arcade buildings and old Western-style houses, or to snap photos of the street scenes from "The Knockout" 📷. The surrounding area has a rich local vibe. Whether you're craving authentic eel rice, Wencun spiced meat, or a traditional Cantonese morning tea, just follow the locals for a few steps and you'll find it all—no need for complicated planning! 🛏 Stay Experience | Clean, airy, and thoughtful details The lobby is bright and tidy. The front desk staff was very efficient with check-in and enthusiastically recommended some hidden snack shops in the old town, which instantly made a great impression 💫. The room features a modern, minimalist style with warm tones and no unpleasant odors. The bedding is fluffy and soft; after walking all day, I fell asleep the second I lay down 😴. The bathroom has excellent wet/dry separation, the hot water is fast with strong pressure, and the vanity and mirror have great lighting, which is especially friendly for those who love to wear makeup 🪞. 🚗 Practical bonus points Driving here is convenient, parking is easy to find, and the soundproofing is much better than expected. The nearby roads are quite quiet at night, so it didn't affect my sleep quality at all 🌙. For less than CNY 200, being able to stay in a hotel with such new facilities and such a convenient location, the value for money is unbeatable. Whether it's a short weekend trip or an in-depth cultural street tour, you can choose this place without hesitation—it's a safe bet. I'll definitely stay here again next time I come to Taishan! 🙌
Many people come to Jiangmen to see the overseas Chinese arcade buildings, heading straight to 📍Chikan Ancient Town or 📍Meijia Courtyard for their first stop. While they look great after renovation, they are packed with shops and tourists, making it hard to find a quiet atmosphere. But just in the suburbs of Taishan, there is a little-known old market—📍Yuanshan Xu. Built in 1929, it has stood for nearly a century without large-scale renovations. Its 58 Nanyang-style arcade buildings remain in their original state, making it the best-preserved rural overseas Chinese market in Taishan. A stark contrast in time and place: when 📍Chikan Ancient Town is packed with crowds on holidays, 📍Yuanshan Xu is so quiet in the early morning that you can only hear the wind. It was once a bustling market, filled with merchants and noisy on market days. Later, residents gradually moved overseas to make a living, and it was slowly forgotten by the world, becoming an "abandoned market." Precisely because of this, it hasn't been commercialized. The gray-sculpted archways, mottled walls, and square-shaped streets all retain the original appearance of the Nanyang overseas Chinese market. It is also a filming location for "The Knockout" (Mang Village) and "12 Hours of Fury," giving it a natural cinematic atmosphere. If you are planning a one-day trip to Taishan, save this time-saving route that avoids backtracking. Skip the time spent searching for guides and avoiding tourist traps; you can hit all the highlights in half a day. 👉 Stop 1: 📍Yuanshan Xu Arcade Buildings The entire market has a rare square layout, with four old streets crisscrossing: Yuanshan Road, Zixia Road, Yushu Road, and Xihua Road. Two- to three-story arcade buildings are connected, with Roman columns, carved parapets, and Nanyang-style balconies visible everywhere. 📸 Tips: · The morning light is soft, perfect for capturing the depth of the arcade buildings; the midday light is too harsh and can flatten the mottled texture · Don't just stay at the entrance; walk deeper inside, as the old market ruins in the center have the strongest atmosphere ⚠️ Avoid tourist traps: These are pristine old buildings with a lot of weeds, so watch your step. Do not climb on dangerous structures; help protect the historic buildings. 👉 Stop 2: 📍Changfan School A few minutes' walk from the arcade buildings, this old schoolhouse blends Chinese and Western styles, featuring red walls and Ionic columns. It belongs to the same overseas Chinese market system. There are very few tourists, making it perfect for quiet, vintage portrait photography. Most tourists miss this hidden gem. 👉 Stop 3: 📍Taicheng Historic District If you have enough time, stop by after visiting the old market. The rows of arcade streets are full of local life, offering a completely different contrast to the desolate, weathered feel of 📍Yuanshan Xu. 🍽️ | Food recommendations along the route (arranged by proximity) ✅ Taishan Eel Rice: A must-try dish in Taishan. The rice is fragrant, the eel is tender, and local farm restaurants serve the authentic version ✅ Five-Flavor Goose: A classic Taishan dish with a savory and sweet blend and firm meat ✅ Local Fresh Oysters: Close to the river and sea, the oysters are plump and delicious whether steamed or baked ✅ Mountain Spring Tofu Pudding and Sesame Paste: Available at street-side shops, these are refreshing, light, and offer great value 📌 Helpful travel checklist, ready to use ✅ Admission: Free throughout, no reservation required. Saves you the ticket money compared to renovated ancient towns ✅ Transportation: Driving is the most convenient. It takes about 2 hours from Guangzhou. Alternatively, take the high-speed train to Taishan Station, then take a 10-minute taxi ride. Public transport is complicated, so driving is preferred to save a lot of transfer time ✅ Duration: 1.5–2 hours is enough to explore Yuanshan Xu. No need to set aside a whole day; it's perfect for combining with nearby 📍Naqin Peninsula and 📍Kangqiao Hot Spring ✅ Season: Autumn and winter are the most comfortable, as it's not muggy. If visiting during the rainy season, wear non-slip shoes, as the ground in the market can be slippery ✅ Summary: · 📍Chikan Ancient Town: There are no trendy shops, cruise boats, or performances here, but it wins on being pristine and quiet · 📍Meijia Courtyard: There are only one-tenth as many tourists, so you don't have to queue for photo spots Many tourists fall into the trap of spending all their time at popular overseas Chinese markets, only to see cookie-cutter renovated arcade buildings. Those in the know, however, save their early mornings for 📍Yuanshan Xu. There is no noisy hawking here, only silent buildings left behind by a century of overseas Chinese history. The aesthetic brought back by Nanyang overseas Chinese is perfectly preserved in this old market. If you like quiet, pristine scenery full of stories and are tired of trendy ancient towns filled with shops, 📍Yuanshan Xu is definitely the hidden ace of the Jiangmen overseas Chinese route. 💬 Conclusion: Do you prefer the bustling, renovated 📍Chikan Ancient Town, or a pristine, abandoned old market like 📍Yuanshan Xu?
I have always been interested in the culture of overseas Chinese hometowns, and I finally checked Kaiping Diaolou off my list. These watchtowers, a blend of Chinese and Western styles, are scattered among rice paddies and bamboo groves. They possess both the down-to-earth charm of Lingnan villages and the refined elegance brought back from Southeast Asia. Walking through the fields feels like stepping into a vintage oil painting. I spent two days exploring the watchtower clusters, ancient villages, and old streets, slowly learning the stories of this century-old hometown. On the first day, I started at Zili Village. Over a dozen watchtowers stand scattered across continuous rice paddies. The towers are tall, featuring Western-style reliefs and window lattices, surrounded by golden rice fields and emerald bamboo forests. As the wind blows, the rice waves ripple, and the watchtowers stand quietly, as if they have guarded this land for a century. Stepping into Mingshi Tower, you can still see the furniture, gramophones, and old photos brought back by overseas Chinese from back in the day; each item holds a story of crossing the ocean. Looking down from the rooftop, the entire field and the watchtower cluster spread out before you—a wide, healing view. In the afternoon, I went to Li Garden. This private overseas Chinese residence is even more refined, blending pavilions, villas, gardens, and Western-style corridors. It has both the elegance of Jiangnan gardens and the romance of Western architecture. On the second day, I explored the Majianglong Watchtower Cluster. The towers are hidden in dense bamboo forests, making the environment more serene. Walking slowly along the forest trails, you occasionally stumble upon a watchtower, which feels like the thrill of a treasure hunt. The old banyan trees in the village provide shade, with villagers sitting underneath to cool off and chat, keeping the pace of life slow and easy. In the evening, I went to Chikan Old Street. The arcade-style old street stretches along the Tanjiang River. Although it is still under renovation, the mottled arcades and the signs of old businesses still reveal the prosperity of the past. It was incredibly relaxing to catch the breeze by the river and watch the sunset fall on the water. The food was all authentic Kaiping flavor. The eel rice was cooked to perfection, with each grain of rice distinct, the eel tender, and the scorched rice crispy. The Kaiping roast pork had crispy skin and tender meat; dipping it in white sugar creates a mix of salty and sweet. The fried tofu cubes were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and sprinkled with cumin, they were incredibly fragrant. You can walk into any farmhouse restaurant in the town; the ingredients are fresh, the portions are generous, and it's great value for money. A few sincere tips: I recommend buying a joint ticket for the watchtower scenic area, as it's much more cost-effective than buying individual tickets, and the two-day validity is enough for a leisurely visit. For photos, choose early morning or evening when the light is soft; the rice paddies and watchtowers in the same frame make for the best shots. Tour groups in the scenic area are mostly concentrated in the morning, so there will be far fewer people after 3:00 PM. Many watchtowers are still occupied, so please keep quiet when visiting and do not touch the old items. There are many small roads in the surrounding villages, so if you are driving, take it slow—the scenery is all along the way. The romance of this century-old overseas Chinese hometown is hidden in the stories of every watchtower. If you love culture and pastoral scenery, you definitely shouldn't miss this place. Do you know of any other niche overseas Chinese hometown destinations? Share them in the comments section 💕 Images are for reference only; please refer to the actual on-site scenery.

Guangdong Romance Park | A Time-Traveling Theater Party Unlock endless ways to play in this "Performing Arts Park" with just one ticket! Grab your besties and head to Time Travel Street to change into Qipaos or vintage school uniforms, and snap those "high-aesthetic" photos under retro neon signs. Don't miss the street interaction "Cantonese Martial Arts Alley," where you can challenge yourself to drink super-bitter herbal tea to win silver notes, or drag your friends on stage for a duet with a songstress—you'll be laughing until you cry. The main show, "Guangdong Romance," is a spectacle of surprises—the stage transforms into a vast ocean, and tons of floodwater cascade down, telling the gritty stories of Guangdong's ancestors from the ancient Xiqiao Mountain to the brave journeys overseas. The park is fully covered by weather-protected corridors, making it perfect for fun rain or shine, from afternoon until night. 📍 No. 86 Qiaogao Road, Foshan 🚗 Large parking lot available (20 RMB/day); about 13 minutes by taxi from Nanzhuang Metro Station. 💡 Check the daily schedule for the main show. Seating is first-come, first-served, so queue early for the best spots. 2. Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom | A Deep Blue Dream for Every Girl What girl could resist a silhouette photo in front of a massive floor-to-ceiling aquarium? With manta rays gliding by in the Whale Shark Exhibit, penguins waddling about, and the gentle smiles of beluga whales, this is the ultimate sanctuary for cute animal therapy. Don't rush off in the evening; the Night Glow Parade and the fireworks-and-drone spectacular light up the sky right on time—the "oohs" and "aahs" are guaranteed.

Chikan Heritage Town | A Republican-Era Dream Beneath Arcade Buildings If you're a fan of retro vibes, this place will keep your camera shutter clicking non-stop. Over 600 continuous Qilou (arcade buildings) look like movie scenes in the afternoon light. Whether you're riding the vintage tram or sculling a boat down the Tanjiang River, it’s pure, photogenic relaxation. As night falls and the lanterns glow, the town takes on a gentle, romantic charm. Shows like the "Fire Show" and "Modern Era" run daily, blending dance and light to bring these old buildings to life. We recommend staying overnight at a boutique hotel within the scenic area to chat the night away with your besties. 📍 Kaiping, Jiangmen 🚗 About a 1.5-hour drive from Foshan, or take a high-speed train to Kaiping South Station and then a taxi. 4.

Itinerary Suggestion: If you only have a two-day weekend, head straight to Guangdong Romance Park on Day 1 afternoon to enjoy the street interactions, watch the "Guangdong Romance" show in the evening, and grab snacks at the local street market. On Day 2, spend a healing day at Zhuhai Chimelong Ocean Kingdom or head south to Chikan Heritage Town for a slow-paced immersion. Remember to wear matching outfits, bring a power bank, and get ready to fill up your phone’s storage! Keep an eye on the official announcements for each park, especially for show schedules, to ensure every moment of your girls' getaway is spectacular.
Before heading to the Kaiping Diaolou in Guangdong, prepare comfortable, non-slip shoes, drinking water, a light jacket, sun protection, and a power bank. Add rain gear or warmer clothing depending on the season. When traveling with seniors or children, prioritize routes that are flat, short, have plenty of rest stops, and are easy to turn back from. Note the locations of restrooms, water refill stations, and return points in advance. When taking photos, do not climb, wade into water, or cross guardrails; do not pick plants or feed animals, and carry your trash with you. Open areas, shuttle arrangements, and on-site management requirements may change with weather and visitor traffic, so check the latest announcements before you leave. Before returning, check your equipment, battery levels, and personal belongings. Organize your photos by shooting distance in the evening to turn this journey through the diaolou, arcade buildings, fields, ancient village lanes, and tree shadows into a complete, relaxed, and layered record. Respect the environment and local life; do not climb, make noise, or leave trash behind. There is no need to chase quantity along the way; observe the spatial relationships first, then let the light capture the details. If you encounter crowds or weather changes, you can adjust your itinerary, putting safety and comfort first. Save close-up, medium, and long-range shots of the same subject separately to make organizing easier later. Truly compelling travel photos often come from natural records made after stopping to observe. Leave time for yourself to rest so the journey doesn't just become a rush. Respect the environment and local life; do not climb, make noise, or leave trash behind.
I visited Chikan with my family, and the scenery was beautiful. Since there were elderly people with us, we bought a combined bus and boat ticket. It was a relaxing and enjoyable trip through Chikan. I would definitely bring my family back next time.
300***73The old street of Gulaowei is full of local flavor, and the authentic fish cakes, fish skin dumplings, and other local delicacies are delicious and affordable. The scenic area combines the original ecological charm of a water town with a variety of activities, making it perfect for friends' outings or family trips. You can easily take great photos, and the experience is fantastic!
程一起去旅行There are four watchtower clusters in total. It would take a whole day to explore them all thoroughly. Each watchtower is quite beautiful, like a high-end detached villa. I imagine it would be very comfortable to live there now.
芊羽🏃This place is highly recommended! It is the only UNESCO World Heritage Site in Gunangdon Province of China. The historic building complex is intriguing, and it is embedded in the deep history of Chinese working overseas during the time of civil unrest and invasion by western powers and by Japan. Those Chinese workers brought back money for their family members in China, to build all these buildings. It is a worthwhile visit to see the buildings and the history behind!
E30***83Visiting the Bird Paradise described by Ba Jin is a delightful experience, and a boat tour is a delightful treat. The century-old banyan tree forms a lush forest, and we were fortunate enough to see egrets soaring overhead. It's a perfect place for relaxation and unwinding, and definitely worth bringing children to experience the beauty described in their textbooks.

卡皮巴拉游世界Stayed at the Red Sea Hotel, had dinner on the first floor of the hotel, and there is a KTV on the Costa side. The surrounding area is complete, with pharmacies, restaurants, and convenience stores. It's not crowded in the off-season, so it's pretty good, but it's a bit troublesome to take a boat or a car.
