Things to do in Jiangmen

Historic district refurnished to become a tourist complex. A blend of history and modern shops and restaurants. There are free shows to watch but booking is necessary. A good place to go to, can spend up to half a day there.

Kaiping Diaolou and villages are listed as a World Cultural Heritage site, so I made a special trip to see them. They are indeed very unique. Merchants who went out to make money brought back architectural elements from all over the world and combined them with traditional Chinese culture to build unified yet distinctive Diaolou, providing security not only for their families but also for their neighbors. Now these buildings are also providing an income for the villagers. The ticket price for the scenic area is indeed not low.

A friend recommended it, and it was our first time there. We were just planning to take the kids out for fun, but we were pleasantly surprised. There are free shows, but they have fixed times, just like an amusement park. The kids loved it! It was definitely worth the trip.

Although visiting the Yinglong Tower was frustrating, the watchtowers in Zili Village were excellent, and the service at the scenic area was great, which eased my anger from the previous trip. Several large watchtowers can be climbed and visited, offering beautiful views. There are also watchtower cafes where you can cool off. Chikan Ancient Town was also very nice. Overall, I give my Kaiping vacation a good review.

Visiting the Bird Paradise described by Ba Jin is a delightful experience, and a boat tour is a delightful treat. The century-old banyan tree forms a lush forest, and we were fortunate enough to see egrets soaring overhead. It's a perfect place for relaxation and unwinding, and definitely worth bringing children to experience the beauty described in their textbooks.

江门三十三墟街位于广东江门，是百年侨乡文化的缩影。骑楼连廊绵延，青石板路蜿蜒，明清至民国建筑保存完好，中西合璧的商铺诉说着旧时商埠繁华。街巷间传统手工艺与美食飘香，古色古香的店铺与现代文创交织，烟火气中沉淀着时光的故事。漫步于此，可触摸历史肌理，感受岭南侨乡的独特韵味。

Stayed at the Red Sea Hotel, had dinner on the first floor of the hotel, and there is a KTV on the Costa side. The surrounding area is complete, with pharmacies, restaurants, and convenience stores. It's not crowded in the off-season, so it's pretty good, but it's a bit troublesome to take a boat or a car.

下川岛是广东江门台山市的一个小众宝藏海岛，有着非常优美的海景！ 清晨，第一缕阳光洒在床上，拉开窗帘，就能看到海浪轻吻沙滩，椰树林摇曳生姿。夜晚，躺在床上，与漫天繁星对话，枕着涛声入睡。早起赶海，沙滩漫步、捡贝壳、堆沙堡.各类海鲜丰盛。

I highly recommend it. I won't even mention the Kaiping Diaolou (watchtowers), but Chikan really left a deep impression on me. You absolutely must see the fire show; it's breathtaking. Don't rush off afterward, there's still a live performance – it's incredibly exciting!

This place is worth a visit, but you must drive or hire a car, as transportation isn't very convenient. The scenic area has decent facilities: a swimming pool, a beach, the sea, hiking trails, and wedding photoshoots. The wedding photography base is especially suitable for couples, producing excellent photos. However, I highly recommend taking the scenic area shuttle bus (10 yuan one way). The ride won't make you sweat, and you'll get great photos.
