The night view of Chikan Ancient Town is still dazzling! Jiangmen's "Shanghai at Night" is stunning.

The night view of Chikan Ancient Town is truly beautiful. The combination of lights and arcade buildings makes you feel like you've traveled back to Shanghai at night. Walking on the stone-paved roads, listening to the ding-ding of the trams, Watching the mist under the bridge and the approaching boats, Enjoying the fireworks🎆 show and the sparks of molten iron🌺 overflowing the screen, One can't help but marvel at the brilliance of the ancient craftsmen! 🎇Must-See Checklist 1. Huoxiu Square's Intangible Cultural Heritage: Molten Iron Fireworks Every night at 19:30, witness the millennial intangible cultural heritage. 1600℃ molten iron is struck into the air, forming a golden meteor shower. This is combined with the silhouette of the arcade buildings and synchronized giant fireworks, creating a breathtaking spectacle. Best viewing spot: The stone steps of the square bridge, where you can take upward shots of the iron fireworks with the clock tower. 2. Chizi Square Light and Water Show Using the Tan River as a natural screen, the show uses 3D projection technology to tell the stories of overseas Chinese, complemented by a 20-meter-high musical fountain water screen. At night, the lights illuminate the arcade buildings, presenting the spectacle of a "Golden Market Night Banquet." 3. Didong Road Arcade Light Corridor Over 600 arcade buildings are lit up at night, with red lanterns and colorful Manzhou windows reflected in the Tan River, recreating the rainy night scene from the movie "The Grandmaster." Recommended photo spot: The film studio's replica of the rainy alley, where you can rent oil-paper umbrellas for Hong Kong-style photos. 4. Tan River Night Cruise on a Sculling Boat Take an antique wooden boat through the arcade buildings. As the boat moves, it triggers the lights on both banks, creating an immersive and romantic experience of "the boat moving on the river, the light and shadow painting a journey." --- 🎇Main Performance List 1. "Century Fire Show" Large-scale Live Performance A comprehensive performance featuring intangible cultural heritage molten iron fireworks, a fireworks show, and water stunts, telling the story of young overseas Chinese protecting traditional crafts.

Did they even watch carefully?👀 --- Practical Tips - Fireworks show time: Usually at 19:30, but check the scenic spot's announcements for holidays. - Clothing suggestions: Hanfu/Qipao are more suitable for the night scene.
