Come to Chikan to enjoy the Christmas carnival early!

After a trip to the Chikan Resort Area, I want to go again! I want to go again! I’m completely captivated by the Christmas decorations! The Christmas atmosphere under the blue bricks and black tiles is fully charged! The Christmas tree on the ancient street creates an incredibly festive vibe, a romantic knockout in the blue brick alley! The snowfall in front of Peace Square makes up for Guangdong’s lack of snow❄️❄️ Must-check spots for photos📸 1️⃣ Christmas Tree🎄 (Super photogenic, the decorations are especially beautiful, every shot looks like a portrait!) 2️⃣ Vintage Tram🚂 (Riding the tram lets you travel through the entire ancient town and feel its charm; the second-floor terrace offers an amazing view of the whole town) 3️⃣ Rowboat🚣🏻 (The day I went was cloudy with some rain, and the mist over the river was especially beautiful, giving a Jiangnan misty rain vibe) 4️⃣ “Fire Show”🔥 (The highlight, with a fire show every night, the fireworks are especially beautiful, it’s basically a mini “Disney”!) 🌕 Limited during Christmas: “Flying Santa Claus,” accompanied by fireworks and snowfall, Santa rides a reindeer flying by—don’t miss it! 📍 Location: Chikan · Guangdong Overseas Chinese International Tourism Resort 👔 Style tip: Red, red, red! It matches the Christmas scenery perfectly!

Exploring Kaiping’s Chikan Ancient Town is pure vibes 🚤🌳 — a blend of historic charm, modern architecture, and photogenic scenery at every turn! Whether it’s cute rainy day snaps by the river or wandering through atmospheric alleys, this spot is an IG dream. What really kicks it up a notch: your ticket includes live love-themed performances and a night fireworks/water show (think shimmering metal effects and dance on the water — totally worth staying into the evening!). Top Spots to Visit - Chikan Ancient Town: No. 1 Chikan Ancient Town, Kaiping, Jiangmen, Guangdong. Open daily 9:00–21:30. - Riverside walk: Stroll past leafy ponds and modern landmarks — bring a camera! - Gondola ride: Extra RMB30, but floating past old buildings is next-level. - Double-decker sightseeing bus: Hop-on/hop-off for more urban exploration; handy for rainy days. Pro-Tip: Your entry ticket already packs great entertainment — save extras for the big shows! Stick around after dark, the night water & metal fireworks show is a legit must-see. If it rains, the tree-lined river walks make for moody, unique photos (just protect your gear!). Return time is flexible, so soak up the ambiance and plan your shots. Getting Around: Local buses run from Guangzhou South Railway Station to Kaiping (about 2 hours). In town, taxis and the local double decker bus keep it easy; walking is safe and pleasant. Food: Don’t skip Kaiping rice rolls or local dim sum at town cafés. Try a riverside tea — views are unbeatable even on a cloudy day! Destination Tips: No visa needed for most, but bring cash (WeChat Pay and AliPay widely accepted). Summer gets humid, so pack an umbrella! #KaipingVibes #ChinaTravel #ChikanAncientTown
