Go to Kaiping Chikan Ancient Town for a holiday. The European style street refers to some buildings with European style characteristics in the ancient town. Many of these are listed cultural relics. The buildings opposite the Situ's pier are the most distinctive. Other areas may be more Republic of China style. The European style street has always been open, just because there were few tourists in the past few years, and now the situation is better. I heard that some will continue to be repaired as a hotel.

Go to Kaiping Chikan Ancient Town for a holiday. The European style street refers to some buildings with European style characteristics in the ancient town. Many of these are listed cultural relics. The buildings opposite the Situ's pier are the most distinctive. Other areas may be more Republic of China style. The European style street has always been open, just because there were few tourists in the past few years, and now the situation is better. I heard that some will continue to be repaired as a hotel.
Chikan Continental Street has a combination of Chinese and Western architectural style, the most distinctive is the roof building. Some of the roofs are spire towers, and some have arched canopys on the front walls, which are rich in shape. The wall decoration is also varied, there are relief patterns, window holes, line feet, balcony cast iron railings, etc., some blend Western Baroque or Rococo architectural decoration style, some Lingnan characteristics of good fruit and auspicious decorations and Chinese classical curling patterns.
The building is also full of elements of life. The clouds under the window, the paintings on the wall, the carved columns on the pavilion and other designs are poetic and picturesque. Each floor of the building also has a complete functional partition, so that people can feel the atmosphere of home while being safe. On the top floor of the building far from the ground, you can almost see Rome, Goth, Byzantine, Baroque, Victoria and Lingnan, China, and other architectural elements cleverly combined, adding mysterious colors to the whole building. It also makes the tower look like a dream castle.
最具特色是楼顶建筑,有的楼顶是尖顶塔形,有的在正面墙挑出拱形雨篷,造型丰富。墙面装饰也多种多样,有浮雕图案、窗洞形式、线脚、阳台铸铁栏杆等,有的融合了西方巴洛克或罗可可建筑装饰风格,有的是岭南特色的佳果与吉祥纹饰以及具有中国古典卷草图案。中西合璧的古建筑、淳朴的民情民风而闻名远近。以广招顾客,于是便在侨乡大地风靡一时,成为当年人们建房时争相仿效的设计样式。
环境不错,风景如画,游客众多!
