It turns out that there is a place in Guangdong Province that has preserved its original flavor: Jiangmen

The streets are lined with quaint arcades, reminiscent of the old Lingnan markets of the Republican era. Every corner of the old street is imbued with historical charm. Strolling through the streets, you'll discover not only the ancient architecture but also the unique atmosphere of the area, a fusion of Yunnan's ethnic minorities and Guangdong culture. Recommended Itinerary: We recommend a walking tour of Wenshan Old Town's Qilou Street to fully immerse yourself in the city's ancient charm. Along the way, you'll admire the charming arcades, each bearing witness to the lives of Guangdong immigrants. Beneath the arcades are traditional shops selling local handicrafts, local snacks, and time-honored teahouses. Must-See Activities/Photo Spots: 1. Qilou Street Main Street - The rows of arcades, a true Lingnan-style street, are a must-see for photos and check-in spots. 2. Local Teahouses - Experience the traditional Guangdong tea-drinking culture and try the Yunnan-Guangdong fusion of tea and pastries. 3. Antique Grocery Stores - Discover antique Lingnan artifacts and experience the traces of time. 4. Visit traditional noodle shops or porridge shops—taste authentic Cantonese snacks, where the owners often chat with local customers and share stories from the past. Tips for Visiting the Scenic Spots: 1. The itinerary is primarily walking, so comfortable shoes are recommended. 2. Visiting in the early morning or evening is best to avoid the daytime crowds and create a more atmospheric photo op. 3. Talk to local elders or shop owners and ask them about the arcades and the old city, which will help you find hidden photo spots. 4. Explore the deep alleys and streets, where you'll find handicraft workshops and authentic snack shops hidden away by tourists. 5. Weather can be unpredictable, so remember to bring rain gear. Notes: 1. Many buildings are old, so please be careful on the ground and stairs when visiting. 2. Observe local customs and respect the lives of local ethnic minorities and older residents. 3. It is recommended to bring cash, as some small shops and old teahouses do not accept electronic payments.
