Kaiping Diaolou | Jiangmen is not only known for its rapid development, but also for its World Cultural Heritage

In Kaiping, Jiangmen, a 90-minute drive from Zhuhai, I felt as if I had traveled back to a century ago. Amidst the pastoral charm of Lingnan, towering diaolous with various styles are interspersed. Time seems to have frozen at a certain moment in the past, allowing us to glimpse fragments of history. Zili Village Diaolou Cluster If I could only visit one place, I would choose Zili Village. Its uniqueness lies not only in its exquisite appearance but also in the serene and beautiful natural scenery that surrounds it. Walking along the country lanes, with neat rice fields on the side and lotus ponds interspersed, the tranquil beauty of rural life is overwhelming. The tall diaolous with different appearances are scattered throughout the countryside. Currently, only three diaolous in the entire village are open to the public, with the most conspicuous being the 'Mingshi Lou', which fans of the movie 'Let the Bullets Fly' will definitely recognize at first glance, built in 1925. Not only is the exterior exquisite, but the interior furniture and decorations are also well preserved. You can also go up to the panoramic terrace on the top floor, where the view is superb.
