Absolutely amazing, this is the true sense of history! Complete guide to checking in at Chikan Diaolou

Look! 😱 I was blown away by this diaolou! 👉Key points for Yinglong Tower check-in: ✨The building has ground-level towers at all four corners, so imposing! ✨The "︱"-shaped shooting holes are so full of historical charm! 🔥 ✨The Ming Dynasty wooden beam and plank structure is still preserved, full marks for detail! 💦Historical mini drama: During the massive floods of 1884 and 1908, this tower actually sheltered the entire village for refuge!! What kind of magical diaolou is this! 😭 📸Photo tips: 1. Wide shot: sunny day + rivers and lakes are perfect 2. Close-up: find the best angle to shoot the shooting holes 3. Detail lovers: don’t miss the Ming Dynasty wooden beams and planks 📍Address: Chikan Town, Kaiping City, Guangdong Province ⏰Opening hours: 8:00 AM - 6:00 PM 🎫Ticket: 50 RMB (super worth it!)
