One hour of Guangzhou high-speed rail actually hides a forgotten Nanyang-style ancient town

Half Nanyang style, half Lingnan ancient charm Unexpectedly, there is such a good place hidden in Jiangmen, which is an hour away from Guangzhou by high-speed rail🧡 When I stepped into the Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town with a history of more than 370 years, time seemed to go back to the old days. 🚄 Transportation guide 1. Take the high-speed train to [Kaiping South] Station. After exiting the station, take a taxi to the scenic spot in about 20 minutes. 2. If you drive there from Guangshen, it will take about 2 hours. 🚩 Play guide 1⃣ If you like to take pictures, don’t miss these check-in points, they will look great if you try them yourself! Chikan Town Station, Didong Road, Dixi Road, Workshop Street, Lingnan Cultural Plaza, Guan Nationality Library, Meitang Hotel rooftop swimming pool, Huaxin Bridge 2⃣ Dangdang car It is a pleasure to sit on a double-decker car and feel the breeze blowing while visiting the ancient town! 3⃣ Water sports: paddle boats, kayaks, paddleboards 4⃣ Entertainment programs: National Lion Dance, Dragon Boat Races, Pancun Lantern Festival, Cantonese Opera Performance, Musical Fountain Light Show 5⃣ Arcade Old Street: There are more than 600 arcades here. Occasionally, when you encounter a car passing by, you can take a photo and it will be a blockbuster! 6⃣ There are so many places worth visiting in the scenic area. It is recommended to visit for 1-2 days. Staying for one night will give you more time. Moreover, the ancient town lights are lit up at night, which is really beautiful! 🛌About accommodation This time I stayed at the Meitang Hotel, the decoration was very retro The floor tiles in the lobby and the layout of the guest rooms are very atmospheric. Hotel reservation includes breakfast and 2 tickets You can make a free reservation for Chikan morning tea and free shuttle bus, which is a good deal! The rooftop swimming pool of Mei Tang Hotel is very beautiful, don’t miss it! Downstairs is Peace Square and Huaxin Bridge, which is convenient to go everywhere√ 🍲 About catering There are many choices of restaurants in the ancient town What I tried this time was Jinlong Restaurant Hangbang cuisine, and the dishes were all delicious. For breakfast, you can experience Chikan Morning Tea Guesthouse. It is in the food street and the environment is great. And there are many dishes, so you can take whatever you want to eat. Highly recommend rice rolls, tofu dumplings, and Chikan duck porridge, very good!
