-Kaiping Overseas Chinese Chikan Ancient Town, its display of overseas Chinese culture speaks for itself. There are a lot of reviews on the internet, but objectively speaking, it's really worth a visit.
🌈 Chikan Ancient Town, a Lingnan pearl carrying a deep history.
With a history of more than 360 years, it has witnessed countless ups and downs. Initially by the Situ, Guan's two clans in the old town at the east and west ends of the development of the foundation, because it is located in the riverbank highlands, and the soil in the area is red red, so the name “Chikan”.
In the course of history, Chikan has become increasingly prosperous by virtue of the waterway advantage of the Tam River. Especially during the Republican period, the overseas Chinese brought back foreign architectural styles and combined them with local traditions to create that amazing cluster of riding buildings.
These riding buildings, stretching for several kilometers, have different styles, both European romantic elegance, and Chinese simple and solemn. They are the soul of Chikan Ancient Town and the vivid embodiment of overseas Chinese culture. Walking among the riding buildings, it is as if you have traveled back to that legendary era, feeling the prosperity and hustle and bustle of that year.
