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. #leaveyourmark #urbanexplorer #lightthecity #kaiping #taishan #jiangmen #guangdong #diaolou #architecture #historicallandmarks #unesco

It is time to say wow! Did you expect something like this in China? To introduce amazing Dialou scattered in villages around Kaiping city is my pleasure!

The creations merged European, greec, Indian and Middle East styles. Than higher building is, than more rich the owner was. Lication: Zili village #holidayvacation#wintergetaway#staycation#tripinspired

Kaiping, dialou, Guangdong province. Well, the city Kaiping is very famous due to villages around where tourists can observe the specific buildings named Dialou. The key feature if this creations is mixed architectural style. Exactly right here the pictures from San Men Li Willard are presented. This is very small village and there is no admission tickets. No one is taking good care about this area so some buildings look very old or partially destroyed. That was a great experience to visit such place. This is real Guangdong coytriside. P.S. : there are several villages around Kaiping city with unique legacy. #holidayvacation#wintergetaway#staycation#tripinspired

In the vast fields of Kaiping, Guangdong, there are 1,833 towers scattered in large and small. The small European-style buildings are intertwined with traditional earthen houses in rural South China, creating a unique rural scene. Although Kaiping Diaolou has only a history of more than 100 years, it has witnessed the indomitable and vicissitudes of overseas Chinese for more than a century. Each of the towers is surrounded by a bitter past and full of the best truths in the world. On June 27, 2007, when the Kaiping Diaolou and the Village was selected for World Cultural Heritage in an undisputed manner in only 11 minutes, the World Heritage Conferences assessment concluded that it can The civilization or cultural tradition provides a unique and at least special testimony." Mingshilou is the best viewing platform in Zili Village. More than a dozen towers and wilderness are all in the eyes. Unfortunately, I am still a bit early, otherwise the green spaces below are all rapeseed~ overlooking the entire self-supporting village, time Changed everything, but it seems that it has not changed anything. Thanks for retaining these towers, so that we can understand the smoke of that era.

Lu Xiaochanmao's trip to see the diaolou in Kaiping, Jiangmen.

This weekend, I went to Jiangmen for a trip and spent a whole day in Kaiping to see the diaolou. Kaiping is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, and the Kaiping diaolou, as a local characteristic building, was included in the World Heritage List in 2007. The Kaiping diaolou can be divided into two types of functions. The first type is for defense against thieves, mainly for defense, and the second type is more residential, similar to European style, with four or five floors. The Kaiping diaolou are mainly distributed in four scenic areas: Zili Village, Li Garden, Majianglong Village, and Jinjiangli Village. Let's talk about them one by one. Zili Village (p1-4) Zili Village is the most concentrated area of Kaiping diaolou, and the villa diaolou in p1 is a representative, with a European style and surrounded by rice fields. But I prefer the two buildings in p2. The buildings in p3/4 are smaller and larger, and all four are residential diaolou. Majianglong Village (p5-8) Majianglong Village is hidden between bamboo and trees, and the diaolou are more secluded. The diaolou in p6/7 are more focused on defense, while the diaolou in p5/8 are named "Lu" and are divided into five floors, with a living room and kitchen on the first floor, rooms on the second, third, and fourth floors, and a terrace and ancestral tablets on the fifth floor. Jinjiangli Village (p9/10) Jinjiangli Village has only three diaolou, but the Ruishi Building (p9) is very famous, not only because it is the largest diaolou in the area, but also because it is the lair of Huang Silang in the movie "Let the Bullets Fly," and is not to be missed. The diaolou next to it is also of European design. Li Garden (p11-14) Li Garden was originally a private garden of overseas Chinese, and the architectural style is slightly more luxurious than the diaolou mentioned above. Many of the buildings have light yellow exterior walls and green canopies, which honestly remind me a bit of the old building area of Wuhan University, with a similar style. p15 is the diaolou of Chikan Ancient Town, mainly as the main visual of the scenic area. p16 is a group of buildings in the countryside, with a diaolou at the end. p17/18 are diaolou encountered on the road. In general, I personally recommend the route to see the buildings: Zili Village - Li Garden - Majianglong, and there are shuttle buses between these three places, which is very convenient. Jinjiangli is too far away, so it depends on the situation.

Kaiping Diaolou | An Oriental castle hidden in the countryside.

📍Kaiping Diaolou Cultural Tourism Area, Guangdong 🟢Kaiping Diaolou is the 35th World Cultural Heritage Site. The scenic area mainly includes Liyuan, Zili Village, and Majianglong. We visited Zili Village, which has some residential houses, 9 watchtowers, and 6 cottages. The most famous is Mingshi Tower, where "Let the Bullets Fly" was filmed. It is also the best place for aerial photography. I was amazed by the interior. There are gramophones, steak pans, cat cages, bathtubs, toilets, and more. I was amazed by the wealth of the owners! 🟢Zili Village is an overseas Chinese village. After making money, overseas Chinese returned to invest in real estate. According to records, 15 watchtowers were built in the 1920s due to rampant banditry and frequent floods. 🟢From the outside, the watchtowers are mostly 4–5 stories high. The windows are small, with iron windows and doors. There are many gun holes in the house, escape ropes upstairs, and places to store large amounts of food. They are very smart. In case of emergencies or bandit attacks, the advantages are obvious! 🟢I did a lot of research before going, and there were mixed reviews. To be honest, the ticket price of 78 is really expensive, especially since we had 5 adults and 1 child. But the rice field scenery and the watchtowers were eye-opening. I think it was worth it. As the saying goes, "Since you're here, you might as well enjoy it!" 🎫: 78/person (Liyuan and Zili Village combo ticket: 120/person) 🛖: There are two free villages nearby: Zuzhai Village and Tangkou 🚘: Liyuan and Zili Village are about 5 km apart. There is a shuttle bus between the two places, about 1 hour/class. ⭕️Finally, I would like to share a sentence from the promotional video in the scenic area that touched me: "Heritage exists not only because of its appearance, but also because of the people who live here, the practice and expression of their way of life, and its thought-provoking nature. The preservation of cultural heritage is not only about protecting the buildings themselves, but also about the inheritance of its history and culture and the continuation of its way of life."

World Heritage Site - Kaiping Diaolou

🌈Attraction Features: Kaiping Diaolou is located in Kaiping, Jiangmen, Guangdong. Diaolou is a unique type of Chinese vernacular architecture, a multi-story tower-style building that combines defense, residence, and architectural art. At the end of the 19th century, Kaiping locals went overseas to do business and work, accumulating a lot of wealth, and brought the wealth accumulated overseas back to their hometown. This wealth also attracted bandit robberies. The Chinese and overseas Chinese who originally wanted to buy land and build houses to glorify their ancestors mostly built their houses into "Diaolou" style to defend the safety of their families. 🚩Attraction Strategy: The scenic area is mainly distributed in three areas: Zili Village, Majianglong Village, and Jinjiangli. 💗Evaluation by the World Heritage Committee: Kaiping Diaolou and Villages in Guangdong Province are famous for their multi-story tower-style rural houses - Diaolou, which are used for defense. They show a complex and splendid fusion of Chinese and Western architectural and decorative forms, and show the important role of Kaiping overseas Chinese in the development process of several South Asian countries, Australia, and North American countries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as the close connection between overseas Kaiping people and their hometown. The included heritage includes four groups of a total of 20 Diaolou, which are representatives of nearly 1,800 towers in the village group, representing the peak of tower construction in nearly five centuries, and also showing the still close connection between overseas Chinese and their homeland. The Diaolou and the surrounding rural landscape coexist harmoniously, witnessing the final prosperity of the local architectural tradition for the purpose of anti-banditry since the Ming Dynasty.

Remember to check the bus schedule and arrive at the shuttle bus station early to wait for the bus. Liyuan, a private garden combining Chinese and Western styles, including several Diaolous and exquisite gardens. The buildings are beautiful, and you can go inside the Diaolous and go upstairs. The interior furniture is preserved as it was at the time. There are many rooms, as well as bathtubs and flush toilets. Liyuan's garden is also very beautiful for taking photos, and the pavilions have a unique style. There are places to eat in and around Liyuan Scenic Area, which can be used as lunch spots.

The Years of Diaolou, Li Garden

Before coming here, most of the online guides highly recommended Li Garden for its splendor, nobility, and beauty. It stands out from other diaolou and is said that visiting just Li Garden is enough when coming to Kaiping Diaolou. Visiting only Li Garden once became my travel goal. 👀 Among the four ticketed scenic spots of Kaiping Diaolou, the other three are natural villages, while only Li Garden is a self-contained garden. The Xie family, after three generations of hard work abroad, returned home as the richest family in Kaiping and built this first garden of Kaiping, blending Chinese and Western styles. Here, there are not only diaolou villas but also garden layouts, water town scenery, self-developed artificial canals, and walls that separate the villa area from the large and small gardens. There are archways, bridges, pavilions, corridors, and scenic spots at every step. The independent water supply system and modern sanitary facilities, with villas equipped with flush toilets and bathtubs, indeed set Li Garden apart from other diaolou. However, this is just a manor of the Xie family, telling only the story of their own heritage. As a cultural heritage, it requires a multi-layered and multi-dimensional perspective to seek common ground while reserving differences. Thousands of diaolou on this land interpret the historical origins of the overseas Chinese culture, a grand view of the fusion of various exotic architectural styles such as ancient Roman, ancient Greek, and Islamic, showcasing a splendid diversity. Residential buildings can also portray the epitome of an era. Although Li Garden is good, just seeing this one is far from enough. 👀 I entered Li Garden at dusk. Although the staff urged that the diaolou was closing and we couldn't enter for an internal visit, the gray-blue windows on the milky yellow exterior walls were closing one by one. But at this time, the sunlight was the gentlest of the day, with light yellow and hazy blue, and dark green. The Chinese dougong and flying eaves with Roman columns presented a unique elegance and noble beauty that blended Chinese and Western styles. The fiery red bougainvillea was in full bloom, with Li Garden's exclusive labels on the flower pots. A glance back revealed a quiet place with small bridges and flowing water, the water town scenery remained the same, only missing the sound of women washing clothes by the river and the hustle and bustle of household life. There were very few tourists. A father with an eight or nine-year-old girl was entering and exiting the diaolou one by one, patiently explaining and listening attentively. This father-daughter affection was precious. Even though this was the home of the richest family in Kaiping, with the first wife having six sons and three daughters, and three wives giving birth to five sons and five daughters, with a large family and many descendants, I wonder if there was ever a moment of such unique fatherly love? Or perhaps, it was just the construction of the 'Yunmei' residences in a row, indicating equal treatment for each son. 👀 I didn't walk through every corner of the garden, nor did I see every pavilion and building, nor did I enjoy the leisure of setting off in a small boat to drink tea. Leaving at closing time, the father and daughter were still at the entrance. The father wanted to take another look nearby, but the daughter didn't want to go. One was calling, the other was hesitating, back and forth, just like the growth of life, always with a sense of familial attachment and separation. The descendants of the Xie family, far away from their homeland, looking back at their old home, would probably have the same mindset. 💡 The four scenic spots joint ticket for diaolou is 180, valid for two days. Visiting only Zili Village and Li Garden is worth the price, making this ticket cost-effective. 💡 Although the evening sunlight is beautiful, it's backlit for shooting Panwenlou and Panlilou. Morning should be better. 💡 On the way from Zili Village to Li Garden, you can see many diaolou in the villages along the roadside. 💡 There are no dining facilities in the park, it's convenient to eat in Tangkou Town. 2024.8

Kaiping｜Let the Bullets Fly Visit the Diaolou Cluster

I learned about the Guangdong Kaiping Diaolou because of the movie 'Let the Bullets Fly'. Finally, I have the chance to see the filming location! Kaiping Diaolou is located in Kaiping City, Jiangmen, Guangdong Province. It was officially listed in the 'World Heritage List' in 2007, becoming China's 35th World Heritage site and the first overseas Chinese cultural World Heritage project in China. Diaolou is a special type of rural architecture in China. It is a multi-story tower-style building that integrates defense, residence, and Chinese and Western architectural arts. Its feature is the combination of Chinese and Western residential styles, blending the unique architectural art styles of traditional Chinese rural architecture and Western architecture. ✨ The Diaolou in Kaiping are scattered in different areas. If time is limited, it is recommended to visit the Zili Village Diaolou Cluster. This place is not only the filming location of the movie 'Let the Bullets Fly', but also gives a sense of the pastoral atmosphere of Lingnan. ✨ Not far from Zili Village is Li Garden, a private garden of Xie Weili, an overseas Chinese who lived in the United States. The garden integrates traditional gardening, Western architecture, and the characteristics of Jiangnan water towns, blending Chinese and Western architectural art styles. Compared to the Diaolou, it is more exquisite! Zili Village Diaolou Cluster + Li Garden Combo Ticket: 150 RMB/person (parking fee not included) ✨ Tangkou Market is also a good recommendation. It is a cultural and creative park with small restaurants, cafes, and wall paintings. Many people come to check out the Avant-Garde Tianxia Granary Bookstore. Having visited the Avant-Garde Bookstore in Shaxi, Yunnan, I was intrigued by this store in Kaiping. The Avant-Garde Tianxia Granary Bookstore is transformed from five old granaries, each named after different types of grains: 'Rice Granary', 'Millet Granary', 'Sorghum Granary', 'Wheat Granary', and 'Bean Granary'. These Mongolian yurt-shaped buildings were built in the 1970s and were once granaries for storing grain in the surrounding villages of Tangkou Town, Kaiping. They are grand and magnificent in appearance. The bookstore consists of five large granaries for books and a glass house used as a cafe. You can read, take photos, drink coffee, and buy local cultural and creative products here. ✨ If time permits, you can also arrange to visit: Majianglong Diaolou Cluster, Jinjiangli Diaolou Cluster, Chikan Ancient Town, etc. They have different appearances during the day and night. ✨ It is recommended to drive yourself to visit the Kaiping Diaolou Cluster for convenience. ✨ There are also many characteristic homestays around, which can be checked on platforms in advance. ✨ There are claypot rice, simple meals, etc. around.

Guangzhou Chimelong - Kaiping Diaolou and Li Garden

During the Spring Festival holiday, take a direct flight to Guangzhou to check in at Kaiping Diaolou. For northerners, the architectural style is relatively peculiar, lacking some sentimentality. Li Garden is not as stylish as Liyuan, but Liyuan is very beautiful, with pleasant scenery, and it's also very large, a proper landlord's estate. Compared to the landlords in the north, it is more beautiful and pleasing to the eye, with more culture. Guangzhou and Shenzhen also have places to play. But if you're just playing, it's a bit confusing, not knowing what to do. I visited a few famous districts

Kaiping Diaolou

World Cultural Heritage | Kaiping Diaolou! The filming location of the movie 'Let the Bullets Fly', a traditional Chinese residential building, the Kaiping Diaolou, finally checked in in person! Here are some suggestions for reference: 1 Transportation: High-speed train directly to Kaiping South Station 2 The diaolous are scattered across several villages, as detailed in the tour map. To visit the diaolous from Kaiping South Station, you can take a bus, but you still have to walk after getting off, which is not recommended. It is advised to directly call a ride-hailing service, which can take you right to the entrance of the scenic area, very convenient and not expensive. 2. The diaolous are located in several places, and the ticket sales are also linked. You can choose to visit selectively based on your own schedule and interests. I bought a joint ticket for Zili Village, Liyuan, and Chikan for 198 yuan, which can be finished in one day. Locals all drive by themselves, and although there are shuttle buses between the diaolous, the timing is not flexible, so it is recommended for tourists from other places to take a taxi directly! 4 One day is enough to visit the diaolous. For those who need to return to Jiangmen city from Kaiping, if you can't catch the high-speed train, you can also choose to take a bus. The Kaiping Bus Station goes directly to Jiangmen Bus Station, costing 28 yuan per person, which is quite convenient! Diaolou Travel Old Street Ancient Town Travel Guide

Great Weekend Destinations! Kaiping Diaolou | Majianglong & Jinjiangli

Jinjiangli was established by the Huang family during the reign of Emperor Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty. There are a total of 3 diaolous in the village, namely Ruishi Lou, Shengfeng Lou, and Jinjiang Lou. Among them, Ruishi Lou and Jinjiang Lou are inhabitable, while Shengfeng Lou is only used for defense. The most famous one is the so-called 'Number One Lou of Kaiping,' Ruishi Lou, which is the tallest and most beautiful existing diaolou in Kaiping. These three diaolous were built during the Republic of China period and feature a special blend of Chinese and Western styles. They are quite beautiful, and since there are few people around, it's quite suitable for a peaceful stroll. Majianglong was built during the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China and has been praised by United Nations experts as one of the 'world's most beautiful villages.' Majianglong was constructed due to rampant banditry and frequent flooding at the time. There are currently 7 diaolous and 8 villas, among which only Lin Villa and Jun Villa are open to the public. A distinctive feature of the Majianglong diaolous is their location by the mountains and water, with both the diaolous and residential houses nestled in bamboo groves, blending seamlessly with the natural environment, resembling a paradise on earth.

The ancient watchtowers stand tall for millennia, enduring the vicissitudes of time

Kaiping Diaolou, located within the boundaries of Kaiping City in Jiangmen, Guangdong Province, is a type of Cantonese architectural style and represents one of the cultural symbols of the Cantonese region.

Kaiping Li Garden is so beautiful, it's worth following the commentary to savor and worth visiting

Kaiping Li Garden is located in Genghua Village, Tangkou Town, Kaiping City, Jiangmen, Guangdong Province. It is the private garden of Xie Weili, an overseas Chinese from Tangkou Town who lived in America. The name of Li Garden comes from the owner's name, carrying the meaning of 'establishing trees and establishing people'. Construction of Li Garden began in 1926 and was preliminarily completed in 1936, covering an area of about 19,600 square meters. It combines traditional gardening, Western architecture, and the characteristics of Jiangnan water towns, creating a unique architectural style in Chinese gardens. It stands out as one of the more complete gardens in China that integrates Chinese and Western elements. What touches people about Li Garden, besides its distinctive architecture that blends Chinese and Western styles, is the poignant love story of the male owner and his four women. Li Garden was built in the 1930s by Xie Weili, an overseas Chinese who lived in America. Born in Kaiping in 1893, Xie left home at the age of 6 to study in the United States. After graduating from university, he went into business and founded Weili Company in 1919, dealing in clothing, handicrafts, and medicinal herbs. In 1926, he returned to his hometown to build Li Garden, following his father's instructions. It took 10 years and cost 40,000 silver dollars. Like many overseas Chinese of that era, Xie Weili was polygamous, with four wives and 21 children. The stories of the women of Li Garden are mostly tragic, like those of the female protagonists in 'Dream of the Red Chamber'—'ill-fated and full of hardships'. Among the four wives, one went mad, one died, one remarried, and their life paths were filled with sorrow and melancholy. Only the third wife was fortunate and had a good fate. The specific touching stories await visitors to explore in detail during their travels. It is recommended to spend 2 hours for the visit.

Why is such a beautiful World Heritage site so unvisited??

Haha, dear friends, let me share with you a super interesting place—the Kaiping Diaolou Cultural Tourism Area in Guangdong! This place is a World Heritage site, and I went there last weekend full of excitement. Guess what? It wasn't crowded at all, it was almost like I had the whole place to myself! 😜 As soon as I stepped into Zili Village, I was stunned by the lush green rice fields in front of me, which looked like a huge green gem, so clean that I couldn't help but want to roll around in it! The children were running and playing in it, just like they had stepped out of a painting. In the pond, the water lilies were blooming quietly, as if showing off their elegance. What surprised me even more was that I saw a long-missed swallow's nest, with little swallows chirping inside, which was incredibly cute! What's even more amazing is that there are local people living here. When I was taking photos, I even saw an auntie hoeing the field, which was full of the breath of life. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful natural scenery here, but you can also learn about the rich historical and cultural heritage. It's really suitable for all ages and offers the best of both worlds! I just wonder, why isn't everyone interested in such a fun place? 😂 Oh right, the most famous spot here is the Ming Shi Building, which was featured in the movie 'Let the Bullets Fly'. I took a tour and it was really eye-opening! Inside, there were phonographs, pans for frying steaks, cat cages, bathtubs, toilets, and so on, just like a mini-museum! I specifically looked up some information and found out that these diaolous were built by overseas Chinese who made money and came back. They put a lot of thought into protecting themselves from bandits and floods. These diaolous have a spectacular appearance and are designed very cleverly so that people inside can react quickly in case of emergencies. Although the ticket is a bit pricey, I think it's absolutely worth it for these rice fields and storied diaolous! After all, there's an old saying that goes, 'Since you're here, you might as well enjoy it!' Haha! Finally, I want to end my share with a phrase from the promotional video of the scenic area: 'Heritage exists not just because of its appearance, but because of the people who live here, their way of life, and its expression, which is intriguing.' I hope more people will discover this treasure and come to experience its charm together! 😉

Kaiping Sanbu Republic of China Arcade Buildings Travel Guide

Kaiping Sanbu 🌳 authentic Republic of China arcade buildings||| 👣Stepping away from the bustling Kaiping Diaolou scenic area, avoiding the crowds, spending an afternoon in the downtown area of Kaiping to see the authentic arcade buildings is also a nice experience. This place used to be the throat to western Guangdong and Guangxi, with merchants from Jiangmen and Guangzhou coming here to do business. During the Republic of China period, Sanbu was the largest commercial center in the middle and upper reaches of the Tanjiang River, known as 'Little Guangzhou'. Although it now appears somewhat dilapidated due to years of neglect, one can still glimpse its former glory. 🏮The Sanbu arcade building cluster is located along the Tanjiang River in Kaiping City, collectively referring to Changsha Bu, Dihai Bu, and Xinchang Bu. The main arcade streets are concentrated in Dihai and Xinchang, covering a large area. It might take two to three hours to walk through the entire area. Due to the disrepair of most arcade buildings over the years, they have become dangerous buildings, and some residents and merchants in certain areas have moved out awaiting renovation. ✅Location: You can locate Kaiping City's Fengcai Hall or nearby Fengcai Road/Zhonghe Road. The area is large, so you can take your time exploring. 👅Nearby delicacies: Bamboo Flavor Pavilion · Special Bamboo Tube Rice (No. 17 Xiangdi Road, Sanbu Sub-district), a very ordinary-looking small restaurant, but surprisingly every dish is delicious, with no disappointments. 🌈Tips: 1️⃣The Sanbu arcade building cluster is not a scenic spot, and the streets are open to vehicular traffic. Although there are few cars, they tend to drive fast, so be careful when taking photos. 2️⃣Some buildings have become dangerous, and when it's windy, objects may be blown down. Pay attention to falling objects to avoid accidents. 3️⃣There are no places nearby to store luggage. If you are not on a self-driving tour, it is recommended to store your luggage at a hotel or station first, as dragging luggage around can somewhat affect the experience.

The famous Kaiping Diaolou

After the movie 'The Race' became a hit, it brought fame to Jiangmen, Guangdong. When traveling to Jiangmen, one must visit the renowned Kaiping Diaolou, a 5A tourist attraction and one of the 50 must-visit places in a lifetime. Guangdong's first World Cultural Heritage site, it is a multi-story tower building that combines defense, residential living, and a blend of Chinese and Western architectural art. The Kaiping Diaolou were first built in the early Qing Dynasty, with a large number constructed in the 1920s and 1930s. These diaolous were built by overseas Chinese from Guangdong to defend against bandits, funded by overseas Chinese who sent money back to their hometowns. Their appearance is similar to that of a fortress and they also have some of the functions of a fortress, hence the name 'diaolou'. As a famous World Cultural Heritage site, there are currently over 1,800 diaolou remaining in Kaiping, among which Liyuan, Zilicun, Majianglong, and Jinjiangli have been designated as scenic areas. The Diaolou Cultural Tourism Area combines garden art, overseas Chinese culture, Chinese and Western architecture, cultural relics, the original ecological natural environment, and diverse local customs and practices.

In the Kaiping Diaolou, one wonders what kind of evening it is

🏯 In the densely populated Pearl River Delta, finding a true countryside might not be easy. But the Kaiping Diaolou and villages may compensate for this regret. 🏯 They stand quietly in the long river of history, just to lay out a rural scene from a hundred years ago for us today—the egrets in the morning, the water buffaloes returning at dusk, the farmers with their bamboo hats, the village pond in front of the ancient houses reflecting... 🏯 This painting is not only fresh with the Lingnan pastoral style but also interspersed with a rich European atmosphere—Ionic capitals, Baroque brick carvings, Gothic domes, and even a hint of Arabian flair... ​ 🏯​ Walking among them, one feels as if traveling through time and space, marveling at the evening in a world of wonders! 🏯 Historic Site Name: Kaiping Diaolou 📌 Address: Kaiping Diaolou Cultural Tourism Area, Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province 🏛 Conservation Level: 5th batch of national protection in 2001, World Cultural Heritage 🎫 Admission Fee: Liyuan 100 yuan, Zilicun 78 yuan, Majianglong 60 yuan, Jinjiangli 50 yuan, 180 yuan joint ticket allows visiting five scenic areas TIPS: There is a shuttle bus connecting each scenic area, with one departure every hour, and self-driving is recommended.

World Cultural Heritage | Kaiping Diaolou

The filming location of the movie 'Let the Bullets Fly', a traditional Chinese residence, Kaiping Diaolou, finally checked in on site! Here are some suggestions for reference: 1⃣Transportation: High-speed rail🚄 goes directly to Kaiping South Station 2⃣The Diaolou are scattered in several villages, as shown in the tour map. To visit the Diaolou from Kaiping South Station, you can take a bus, but you still need to walk after getting off, which is not recommended. It is suggested to call a ride-hailing car directly, which can drive directly to the entrance of the scenic spot, which is very convenient and not expensive. 3⃣The Diaolou are distributed in several places, and the tickets are also linked. You can visit selectively according to your own time schedule and interest. I bought the 198 yuan ticket for Zili Village, Liyuan and Chikan, which can be visited in one day. Local people drive by themselves, although there are shuttle buses between the Diaolou, but the time is not free, it is recommended for tourists from other places to take a taxi directly! 4⃣One day is enough to visit the Diaolou. If you need to return to Jiangmen city from Kaiping, if you can't catch the high-speed rail, you can also choose to take a bus. The Kaiping bus station goes directly to Jiangmen bus station, 28 yuan per person, which is very convenient!
