Jiangmen in Spring (April–May) 🌼 | Hidden Gems with Fewer Crowds and Breathtaking Views!

#discoverchina Located on the western bank of the Pearl River Delta, Jiangmen is a key city in the Greater Bay Area and famously known as the Hometown of Overseas Chinese — over 1.3 million overseas Chinese trace their roots back here! 🇨🇳🌍 🎯 Top Attractions in Jiangmen 🌆 Kaiping Diaolou Cultural Tourism Area (National 5A Attraction) ✨ Recommendation: ★★★★★ This UNESCO World Heritage Site is China's first overseas Chinese cultural heritage, featuring 1,833 watchtowers (Diaolou) scattered across the countryside. These unique buildings blend Chinese and Western architecture, telling the story of Chinese migration. Come spring, the area bursts with golden rapeseed flowers and bright firecracker blooms, making it look like an oil painting come to life! 🏯🌸 🕒 Opening Hours: 8:30 AM – 5:30 PM 🎟️ Tickets: Combo pass ¥180 (includes 5 major sites: Li Garden, Zili Village, Majianglong, etc.), single site ¥60–¥100 📍 Recommended Things to Do: Zili Village: Filming site of Let the Bullets Fly, with 15 Diaolou towers nestled among rice paddies — don’t miss the stunning Mingshi Lou full-view shot! Li Garden (Li Yuan): A lush private garden built by an overseas Chinese tycoon — a perfect East-meets-West combo. The wisteria trellis here is dreamy in spring. Majianglong Village: A bamboo-shrouded hidden gem. Climb Tianlu Lou for aerial views of terraced flower fields and locals sun-drying tangerine peels. Interactive Fun: Try your hand at making traditional sticky rice cakes, hand-painting Diaolou designs, or even join a "Little Diaolou Architect" workshop for families 👨👩👧👦 #thingstodo #travel

There was alot to celebrate this weekend!!!Different people with different cultures came together to celebrate the Mexican holiday “Dia de los muertos” (the day of the dead) and South Africa winning the Rugby World cup in Japan while England embraced taking second place. We also celebrated beautiful Kaiping in China. It was the perfect place to celebrate Halloween...pumpkin carving, skull painting and exploring old Diaolous (watch towers) and villages dating from as far back as 1920. Another trip for the memory bank! #HalloTrip #Halloween #trip.com #happydays
