Why is such a beautiful World Heritage site so unvisited??

Haha, dear friends, let me share with you a super interesting place—the Kaiping Diaolou Cultural Tourism Area in Guangdong! This place is a World Heritage site, and I went there last weekend full of excitement. Guess what? It wasn't crowded at all, it was almost like I had the whole place to myself! 😜 As soon as I stepped into Zili Village, I was stunned by the lush green rice fields in front of me, which looked like a huge green gem, so clean that I couldn't help but want to roll around in it! The children were running and playing in it, just like they had stepped out of a painting. In the pond, the water lilies were blooming quietly, as if showing off their elegance. What surprised me even more was that I saw a long-missed swallow's nest, with little swallows chirping inside, which was incredibly cute! What's even more amazing is that there are local people living here. When I was taking photos, I even saw an auntie hoeing the field, which was full of the breath of life. Not only can you enjoy the beautiful natural scenery here, but you can also learn about the rich historical and cultural heritage. It's really suitable for all ages and offers the best of both worlds! I just wonder, why isn't everyone interested in such a fun place? 😂 Oh right, the most famous spot here is the Ming Shi Building, which was featured in the movie 'Let the Bullets Fly'. I took a tour and it was really eye-opening! Inside, there were phonographs, pans for frying steaks, cat cages, bathtubs, toilets, and so on, just like a mini-museum! I specifically looked up some information and found out that these diaolous were built by overseas Chinese who made money and came back. They put a lot of thought into protecting themselves from bandits and floods. These diaolous have a spectacular appearance and are designed very cleverly so that people inside can react quickly in case of emergencies. Although the ticket is a bit pricey, I think it's absolutely worth it for these rice fields and storied diaolous! After all, there's an old saying that goes, 'Since you're here, you might as well enjoy it!' Haha! Finally, I want to end my share with a phrase from the promotional video of the scenic area: 'Heritage exists not just because of its appearance, but because of the people who live here, their way of life, and its expression, which is intriguing.' I hope more people will discover this treasure and come to experience its charm together! 😉
