Jiangmen Travel | Kaiping Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town Two-Day Tour

Kaiping Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town Two-Day Tour. If you have seen Wong Kar-wai's movie 'The Grandmaster', you will definitely be impressed by the arcade ancient town that appears in the film, which was shot in Kaiping Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town. 'Run for Time' was also filmed in Chikan Ancient Town!! And I even had a chance encounter there! How lucky is that! - 🌟DAY 1 Highlights to check out: 1️⃣Rong'an Tower. Kaiping Diaolou and Villages are listed as World Cultural Heritage, with a total of 1833 diaolous. Rong'an Tower has six floors, and you can take an elevator to the top floor to overlook the scenic area. - 2️⃣Head to the tourist center pier to take a rowing boat, gently floating on the river, watching the East-meets-West arcade buildings on both sides, and enjoying a leisurely time. - 3️⃣Take a ride on the retro tram, available in both single-deck and double-deck models, shuttling through the historic district, and when you hear the 'ding ding' sound, it's as if you've traveled through time. - 4️⃣Walk through Tangdi Street, and notice a century-old longan tree, which looks heart-shaped from a distance. At night, when the sensor lights come on, they create a romantic atmosphere~ - 5️⃣The night music fountain light show and the Cantonese opera performance at Lingnan Cultural Square are also not to be missed. - 🚪Accommodation: There are several hotels to choose from within the scenic area. 🌴Changsheng Inn is located near Lingnan Cultural Square, with lawns, lakes, and large diaolous all in close proximity. The hotel is well-equipped with restaurants, meeting rooms, and a gym, suitable for both business and leisure. 💖Yixi Couple's Hotel is located near the tram Chikan Town station, with a warm and romantic design, and an outdoor heart-shaped swimming pool that is quite photogenic. Next to it is the Niuxi Road snack street, where you can sleep in and then go experience the local morning tea culture! Have a 'Yum Cha' breakfast. - 🌟DAY 2 🥢Chikan's morning tea culture has a long history, with dozens of exquisite and delicious options to choose from. Enjoy some dim sum with friends, chat, and enjoy a slow morning. Then stroll around the shops to buy some souvenirs before preparing to head back. - 🚉Transportation: Bus 606 goes directly to the ancient town parking lot. Enjoy a complimentary shuttle service once for hotel check-in/check-out
