Chikan, Guangdong Travel Guide: A Journey Through Time to Experience the Charm of a Hometown of Overseas Chinese Chikan, a century-old town hidden in Jiangmen, Guangdong, retains its authentic Lingnan (southern China) charm and Southeast Asian heritage without the hustle and bustle of excessive commercialization. It was a filming location for movies such as *Let the Bullets Fly* and *The Grandmaster*. The weathered arcades, ancient watchtowers, and winding alleys seem to tell stories of the past. I. Transportation Guide By Air: The nearest airport is Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. After arrival, take a high-speed train or bus to Jiangmen, then transfer to a public bus or taxi to Chikan. High-Speed ​​Train: From Jiangmen Station or Kaiping South Station, it's about a 30-minute taxi ride to Chikan Ancient Town. By Car: Navigate to "Chikan Ancient Town." It's about a 2-hour drive from Guangzhou. II. Must-Visit Attractions Chikan Film City: Stroll along the restored streets of the Republic of China era and experience the unique charm of movie scenes. Don't forget to visit the "Goose City" county government office featured in the film *Let the Bullets Fly*. Qilou Old Street: A 3-kilometer-long cluster of arcade buildings blends Baroque, Nanyang, and Lingnan styles, perfect for taking photos and leisurely strolls. It's especially romantic in the evening when the lights come on. Situ Family Library: A century-old library in this overseas Chinese hometown, with retro green doors and windows and a wooden structure, exuding an artistic atmosphere. Chikan South Tower: A seven-story watchtower. Climb to the top for a panoramic view of the ancient town and appreciate the defensive wisdom of the overseas Chinese architecture. Tangkou Town, Zili Village: About a 15-minute drive from Chikan, a representative of the World Cultural Heritage "Kaiping Diaolou and Villages," the watchtowers nestled in rice paddies resemble an oil painting. III. Food Recommendations Chikan Tofu Dumplings: Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside fried tofu, served with sweet and spicy sauce, a local specialty snack. Claypot Rice: We recommend "Chikan Claypot Rice," where the aroma of preserved meat permeates the rice, and the crispy rice crust is delightfully fragrant. Eel Rice: A Kaiping specialty, the eel meat is tender, and the rice grains are distinct. Sweet Soup: Try "Mung Bean Soup" or "Sesame Paste," both refreshing and cooling. IV. Accommodation Recommendations Guesthouses in the Ancient Town: Choose guesthouses converted from arcade buildings to experience the charm of old architecture. We recommend "Diaomin Tribe" or "Yixi Guesthouse." Hotels in Kaiping City: For better value, stay in Kaiping city and visit Chikan the next day. V. Practical Tips Best Season: Spring and autumn are best (October-December, March-April), avoiding the summer heat. Entrance Fee: Chikan Ancient Town is free, but some Diaolou (watchtower) attractions require tickets (a combined ticket costs approximately 150 RMB). Clothing: We recommend retro or Republic-era style clothing for better photos. Other: This trip can be combined with visits to nearby attractions such as Kaiping Diaolou (watchtowers) and Liyuan Garden. A 2-day, 1-night itinerary is recommended. Chikan is an ancient town best enjoyed at a slower pace. Here, time seems to stand still, leaving only the aroma of coffee under the arcades, the gentle breeze atop the watchtowers, and your own story of your hometown's overseas Chinese heritage. #GuangdongNearbyTrips #ChikanAncientTown #MovieFilmingLocation #PhotographyGuide #FoodRecommendations

A week after returning from Chikan Ancient Town, my phone still holds images of the ivy adorning the arcades and the vintage trams dangling on street corners. This ancient town, hidden away in Jiangmen, Guangdong, feels like an old movie in slow motion. It possesses the allure of Nanyang arcades and the poetic charm of flowing water and small bridges, yet even the locals rarely mention it. What a shame! Today, I'll share my romantic two-day, one-night stay in Chikan with you from the bottom of my heart. Let me break my defenses: This isn't an ancient town; it's a "living Nanyang dream." When I first arrived in Chikan, I stood by the Tanjiang River, stunned for half a minute. On the other side lay an old street lined with arcades, deep green vines clambering along the walls. A vintage tram dinged around the corner. Red lanterns hung beneath the eaves of the arcades. The wind blew, casting shadows on the bluestone pavement. This wasn't some "renovated antique street," but rather, even the cracks between the bricks were etched with the gentle warmth of bygone times. The romance of Chikan lies in these 5 little things. ❶ Ride a Retro Tram to Visit the Arcades: Step into an Old Nanyang Cinema Chikan's retro trams are its heartbeat—buy a 20-yuan ticket and sit in an open-top carriage as the tram slowly rolls through the arcade streets. To the left are the carved Nanyang arcades, to the right, the shimmering waters of the Tanjiang River. The wind, scented with the fragrance of osmanthus, wafts through, enveloping even the hair in a gentle warmth. A little secret: choose the evening train! The setting sun paints the arcades a warm orange, and as the tram passes by red lanterns, light and shadow cast on the carriages, making every photo look like a "movie star." ❷ Walk "One River, Two Banks": See the arcades reflected in the Tanjiang River The Tanjiang River is Chikan's "gentle backbone"—walk along the riverbank, with the old arcades on the left, the newly renovated cultural district on the right, and bamboo rafts slowly drifting through the middle. I squatted on the shore, watching for half an hour: the shadows of the arcades cast a shadow on the water, the bamboo rafts rippled through, and even the breeze was too light to disturb the scene. If it had rained, it would have been even more stunning: raindrops fell into the Tanjiang River, and the arcades were covered in a layer of mist, like bringing "Rain Alley" to life. ❸ Explore the old arcade alleys: Finding the past hidden in the cracks between the bricks Don't just walk along the main street! Turn into the narrow alleys between the arcades to experience Chikan's true romance: - Some arcades still have Nanyang carvings on their window frames, and the glass is covered with decades-old window grilles; - At the entrance of the alley, an old grocery store displays tin biscuit boxes, and a grandfather sits in the doorway, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan; - Stumbling upon the old signboard of "Chikan Film and Television City," I was instantly transported to the set of "Let the Bullets Fly" (yes, this is the filming location of "Let the Bullets Fly"!) ❹ Enjoy a bowl of "Overseas Chinese Flavor": Hometown Flavors Wrapped in Tenderness Chikan's food is a romantic, affordable, and heartwarming experience: - Chikan Clay Pot Rice: Find a time-honored shop under a covered arcade. A bowl costs 20 yuan. The crispy rice crust crackles, and the aroma of preserved meat mingles with the fragrance of rice. The grandmother will smile and ask, "Is it enough?" - Tofu Corner: 5 yuan a portion at a street stall. Crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, dipped in chili sauce, it's a taste of childhood. - Tangerine Peel and Green Bean Paste: Refreshingly sweet and refreshing. Drinking it from a porcelain bowl under the covered arcade, even the wind becomes sweet. ❺ Staying in an Arcade B&B: Sleeping in the Spirit of Nostalgia My B&B is a converted arcade—the window opens to a view of the Tanjiang River and the arcade. Lying in bed at night, I can hear the lingering sound of the tram, and even my dreams are filled with the gentle memories of Southeast Asia. Key Point: Choose a room with a balcony! Waking up in the morning, I opened the window and saw the shadows of the arcades falling on the balcony. The breeze from the Tanjiang River, laden with moisture, blew in, completely erasing my morning grumpiness. Chikan's "Avoid Pitfalls and Save Money" Guide: I sincerely recommend this. ❶ Don't Waste Money: These Activities Are Free and Romantic - Strolling the Arcade Street and along the Tanjiang River is free; - Sitting under the arcades, watching a grandmother knit and listening to a grandfather tell old stories is free; - Watching the sunset by the Tanjiang River in the evening is free—these are the true romance of Chikan. ❷ Don't Rush: 2 Days and 1 Night is Just Right Chikan is a place where "slow exploration is the true romance"—no need to rush to see the sights. On the first day, ride the tram, visit the arcades, and eat clay pot rice; on the second day, wander the narrow alleys, gaze at the Tanjiang River, stay in a B&B, and even simply relax. ❸ Don't Miss the Surroundings: Diaolou (watchtowers) offer a different kind of romance in this hometown of overseas Chinese. A 20-minute drive from Chikan is the "Kaiping Diaolou" (the "Goose City" in "Let the Bullets Fly"). Standing like a castle amidst the fields, these towers, unlike the gentle atmosphere of Chikan, embody the "homeland and patriotism of merchants from this hometown of overseas Chinese." We recommend visiting both locations together. Finally: Chikan's romance is "a gentleness without the need to rush." On the day I left Chikan, I sat by the Tanjiang River waiting for my bus. An elderly woman handed me a freshly cooked sweet potato and said, "Girl, come back next time. This tower will always be here for you." In reality, Chikan isn't a "niche attraction"; it's an "overlooked part of life"—it lacks the bustle of popular online check-in spots, but rather a gentle atmosphere shrouded in arcades, flowing water, and the aroma of everyday life. #Ancient Towns and Villages Worth Visiting #Outdoor Activities #Places Most Asked About on WeChat Moments #Where to Go on the Weekend #Have Fun with Friends

Check [Taishan Weather + Ferry Schedule] before departure. 🚫 Don't miss out on tangerine peel! Jiangmen is the birthplace of Xinhui tangerine peel.
