Jiangmen, located in Guangdong, enjoys the reputation of being the first hometown of overseas Chinese in China, where Chinese and Western cultures blend together. In Jiangmen, there are many buildings worth seeing. The following small series will introduce some characteristic buildings in Jiangmen.

kaiping diaolou

A film "Let Bullets Fly" brought this peculiar architectural form into the minds of China people and left a deep impression on me. The film is very wonderful, and the compact plot and humorous performance make people laugh. However, after the movie, people know little about the buildings in the picture. I came to Kaiping, Jiangmen this time to see its true face and understand its afterlife.

Jinjiang diaolou group

Behind a small river, there is a patchwork village, behind which stand three towers. This is Jinjiang Tower Group, which owns Ruishi Tower on the first floor of Kaiping.

Gigi Lai Village _ Wangta Formation

The largest number of village towers is Gigi Lai, which is also an important position for bullets to fly, making it the most famous tower group in Kaiping. The government's propaganda efforts have made this place the most visited place.

At the beginning of last century, overseas Chinese who made money overseas returned to Jiangmen. They think that Jiangmen is also rainy and rainy, and it is often scorching in the sun. This kind of building in Nanyang is just right for here.

chikan town

If you want to ride a building in Jiangmen, you can't help but mention Chikan Town. This is a small town built on the edge of the Tanjiang River. It was an important waterway transportation hub in the early Republic of China. There are regular ships to Macau, Guangzhou, Dongguan, Foshan and other places, extending in all directions. Kaiping's first expressway, the first operating company and the first car all appeared here.

Since the Guangxu period, the business here has been extremely prosperous. Even during the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression period, as the middle zone between the enemy-occupied area and the rear area, long-distance traffickers gathered here, and Chikan economy was still extremely active. Until the outbreak of civil war, with the full-scale outbreak of civil war, local prices soared, many businesses closed down and Chikan declined.

baisha zhen

When driving through Baisha town, I found that the arcade here is also quite large, and it is a completely original ecological environment, not polluted by modern tourism. It is a good place to shoot literary blockbusters.
