A must-visit for cheongsam lovers! A retro town that will make your friends jealous!

Hello, sisters! Today, I want to share with you a hidden gem I found near Guangzhou - Jiangmen Chikan Overseas Chinese Town! I really regret not coming here earlier. It's like a time machine that takes you back to the Republic of China era! 📍 Address Chikan Resort, Donghe Road, Kaiping City, Jiangmen City. Just search for "Jiangmen Chikan Resort" on your GPS and you'll find it! 🚗 Transportation Take the high-speed train to Kaiping South Station (1 hour from Guangzhou), then take a taxi for 20 minutes. It's super convenient! If you're driving, there's a huge parking lot, so you don't have to worry about finding a spot. 🎫 Tickets Starting at CNY 60, it's definitely worth the price! The night show is charged separately, but you must see the iron flower and fireworks show! 🌟 Must-try features [One] Century-old arcade street: A mix of Lingnan and Western styles, perfect for taking cheongsam photos with a cinematic feel! [Two] Rowboat ride: A small boat similar to those in Jiangnan, perfect for enjoying the sunset on the Tan River! [Three] Tram tour: A retro tram that takes you back to old Shanghai in an instant! [Four] Intangible cultural heritage night show: The iron flower looks like a golden waterfall, and the fireworks light up the arcade, creating a romantic atmosphere! 🍜 Food tips The tofu is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the duck porridge is delicious! There are plenty of milk tea shops in the scenic area, so you won't go hungry. ⚠️ Notes ① I recommend staying overnight! The night view is even more stunning than during the day, and the homestays have a strong Southeast Asian style. ② Wear flat shoes! Walking on the bluestone road for a long time can be tiring. ③ Bring a light jacket, as it can get windy by the river at night. Nearby attractions👇 ✔️ Kaiping Diaolou (30 minutes by car, a World Cultural Heritage site) ✔️ San Shi San Xu Street (a filming location for "The Knockout," where you can take retro photos for free) ✔️ Dinghu Mountain (Zhaoqing's "Little Jiuzhai," a great place to breathe fresh air!) Why do I highly recommend it? It's not as crowded as Wuzhen, but it offers a double cultural immersion experience! From the architecture to the performances, every detail tells the story of overseas Chinese. Your parents will definitely praise your choice if you bring them here. Save this guide and start your weekend trip! ❤️
