Parents with kids during summer break know the struggle – packing feels like moving house, and the itinerary is more exhausting than work... This time, we escaped to Enping Shanquan Bay and stayed in the "Poolside Water Access Room." My daughter slipped into the water from the balcony in her swimsuit before I could even stop her, while I lounged on the chair eating ice cream🍦. Now this is what a vacation should be💕 🌊 Must-try for water lovers: Poolside rooms with direct pool access: Free rentals of Instagrammable floats and paddleboards (you can even paddle to the hot spring area!). The bathtub🛁 in the room is filled with real hot spring water! 🧊 Cool water battles: Splash fights in the wave pool, water basketball, and obstacle courses – my daughter was thrilled the whole time, even competing with other kids😂. After three hours of screaming, their energy was drained, but then they recharged in the various hot springs♨️ and kept playing! 💃 Tons of summer parent-child activities: underwater-themed stage shows, character parades, lakeside concerts, water-splashing festivals, family carnivals, water challenges, and DIY workshops – two days packed with fun✌️ 🥢 Dinner at the hotel’s Fuyuan Restaurant serves Cantonese cuisine. The dishes aren’t just photogenic but also perfectly suit Cantonese tastes – fresh, sweet, and not too oily or salty. My daughter loved the Leek Chicken on a Wicker Tray and the Passion Fruit Spareribs😋 🍺🍢 Must-visit Riverside BBQ Bar: Live music with honey-glazed chicken legs, and my daughter happily munched on corn while swaying to the tunes! Evening river breezes made it all so relaxing💕 A 2-hour drive from Guangzhou for this all-in-one family resort? Absolutely worth it! 🏠 Shanquan Bay Hot Spring Hotel 📍 Location: Datian Town, Enping, Jiangmen

As a Jiangmen local, I never discovered the charm of Jiangmen before. If it weren't for movies often choosing to film here, I wouldn't have discovered Jiangmen's beauty. This time, my route started from home, walking along the Long Dyke 👉🏻 Victory Bridge 👉🏻 Pedestrian Street 👉🏻 Thirty-three Market Street 👉🏻 Zhongshan Park 👉🏻 Penglai Park. It feels so nostalgic because these are all paths I walked as a child 🚶🏻‍♀️ Now, walking these childhood routes again, I realize how beautiful my city really is ❤️

On the way back, it is recommended to walk back to the hotel from the park at 8 o'clock. There will be fireflies on the way. ~ Day 1. Go to Shixia with the kids, put the food in the warehouse and go out to find some food. I want to go to Nanshan to eat and have fun + find the courier who used to work for me to eat dessert at night But the card is not authenticated and cannot load to the Internet🫠 I can only find a place with Wi-Fi to go and try it first. The food I stumbled into by accident is delicious😋 My brother really enjoyed the cold noodles, and then went to Zuojia to play the video game. The two of them are so wild, there is nothing to do in Hong Kong, I'll play enough when I come here, I'll go eat dinner when everyone closes Day 2. Take the high-speed rail to Enping. Luckily, I didn’t meet any little kids. As soon as I arrived, I took an expensive taxi to the hotel🏨🫠 The taxi driver also said that there would be no takeaway delivery, and he would not call other cars to go in and out. He left our WeChat and asked us to find him when we go out. Do you think he is stupid? After dropping off our luggage at the hotel, we went out to find some food. Our first meal was at a nearby farm. Eat Zuo Enping's famous goose, cold cucumber, coriander tofu fish soup The owner said that 3 people would not be able to eat enough, but everything was very big... The amount of 25 yuan cucumber is at least the amount of 7-8 plates of Tanzai on a normal day🥹 It's a pity that my brother can't afford it. My brother really pays for the food. All three are delicious. I even prefer the dried goose if I don't eat Chinese food or wild gourds with bones. Finally, after eating the flowers, I mentioned that I didn’t take a photo. Then we went to the hotel to soak in the hot springs♨️, Actually, I just went to swim and soak in the hot water. Huahua tried fish therapy for the first time, I don’t know why all the fish avoided the channel😂 Played from 2pm to 6pm, then went to the hotel to play in the bathtub and order sushi 🥱 Day 3. Get up early and have breakfast. Then go to a nearby park. There is a zoo, small amusement rides and a water park inside. Call Didi and take a ride there for 5 dollars🫣 The only thing you can do when you enter is to see animals~ It's fun to be with them. When I pass by a deer and see that there is something to feed, I buy a cup of carrots and feed them to the deer. Then I watched the horse and saw a monkey trapped alone with one hand and the remaining hand stretched out like that. I wonder what it wants to eat🥺 Huahua said that he was so pitiful and wanted to take him home. I went to the parrot park to feed the parrots, but it was their feeding time, so I just watched and left🤥 After that I went to feed the sheep 🐑, I wanted to just pick up a cup of carrots and flowers, but when my aunt saw the flowers, she immediately told me not to pick it up, and then refilled a large cup with flowers 😎 I went to the red and white flying squirrel Godo again 😎 I wanted to buy a cup of chestnuts 🌰 to feed the squirrel, but I couldn't receive any, and couldn't load the internet But Huahua has already gone to the left The aunt brought some chestnuts in and fed them to Huahua first, then filled the cup with chestnuts and fed Huahua to her, and after a while, she finished paying the money. Dad said there was a flower. I fed it two or three grains. I just followed the flower. It was a pity that I couldn't take a picture. We passed by and saw some shooting guns. Huahua said she wanted to play with them, but she was too tired and dad finally took care of it. They played with the kachao instead. I told dad that we really wanted to play with the bigger kachao. Then Huahua said that I was the one who played with my brother, and my brother had no choice but to play with me. I have some pretty headbands to change into, but I don’t want any flowers. I find it strange that I want to compete with Kachao. It turns out it’s because of this🥹. Then I went to play some small amusement rides, most of which required more than 110 😥 Huahua was a few CM short, so she was not tall enough to play with. She had to play with a little bit of a sly to play with her. My dad and I said it was a pity that her brother didn't play with her. 🥹 Obviously she was looking forward to playing with her the most. In the end, Huahua played with water shooting, small trains, train rides, and airplane rides. The airplane worker brother saw Huahua and played with her for longer. 🤪 Until the next kid stopped the machine first and let the other kid go up We saw a Ferris wheel 🎡 and a glass slide on the top of the mountain, and then we walked up the long stairs to the top. When we got up, we found something called a magic carpet that could carry people up 🫠. We took it out, but the Ferris wheel was too high and my dad didn't want to ride it because he was afraid it was dangerous. Then we went to the glass slide and asked, luckily Huahua was so cute to play with it, and it was 100 dollars per ride for three friends 🤭. It's so fun to play with the flowers, I want to play it many times. Finally we went to the water park that Zuo Huahua had been longing for. The first place we went to was the baby pool. At first we didn’t dare to play on the slide. We should have called him to fall down. But the idiot moved forward before falling into the water and fell out. We were so scared that we didn’t dare to play anymore. After that we went to play on the slides, and after playing for a while we went to the big pool, and then played in the rubber boats and surfing pool. When we got to the surfing pool, Huahua wanted to leave at first, but then she didn’t want to leave 😂. After playing in the sun, I went to the baby pool to play on the slide 🛝, and finally dared to play other things. After playing for a while, I saw that it started to get dark and left because I was afraid of rain. When I was planning to go to the hotel, I found myself at the wrong door and arrived there earlier than me. Went there for the free dinner, the fried meat was changed to bell pepper 🫑 fried meat with hot pepper, and I forgot to take a photo. I don’t know if it’s because of the comparison with the little brats in another station, but I heard the uncles and aunties in the quarantine station 👂🏻 praised Huahua for being cute and well-behaved. He ate his meal by himself and drank his soup without any hesitation. They also said that his little shirt was so cute, and there was a pair of wings behind his back 🥳. As soon as I checked into the hotel room, I went out to the night market. At first I was worried that no one would take the order, but it turned out that it was just 1 Call. Luckily I got there in time. The driver even asked me to call him again when I leave, and he would wait nearby. Passed by a claw machine shop, but it was too late. I will go there next time I have the chance🤪. The night market is very peaceful, Huahua went there like a princess, I wanted to flirt with him, but he made me lose my mood when I tried to sell oysters 🫤, he didn't listen when I asked him about money, he just nodded and didn't look when I showed him the screen, and he didn't tell me when I would pay for a long time. When I finally paid, he asked for the payment record, and he said he was busy and it was none of my business 🤥. In the end, he couldn't load it several times, so I asked the chef to take my money. Then we went back to the hotel and finished the night, but it was too late today and it would take a long time to check out the next morning🤭. Day 4. Checked out at 12pm. I wanted to go to the farm for lunch on the first day. I waited for a long time inside and no one responded to me. My friends also kept standing together. Finally, I went to another small shop for lunch. Then I unexpectedly found delicious food. My father didn’t want to eat, so I ordered some white rice noodles. After eating, I sat in the hotel and called Didi to take the high-speed rail. When I got there, I rushed to buy Cinnamon Dog xCoCo. It was the first day of sale, and the clerk knew nothing about it. I found that the Cinnamon Dog drink was served in a cup, which was very exciting. I wanted to go grab dolls and play video games with Huahua again, but the Didi driver couldn't find us and we didn't have our phone, so it took us half an hour to get in the car, and we ran into rush hour 🫠. There was no signal when I got to the machine shop. I wanted to connect to Wi-Fi but I didn’t have a phone number to receive SMS. In the end, I went back home to Hong Kong 😵‍💫. Then I got on the left train for a few stops, turned left a few times and arrived at Luohu. I had to spend money at the last stop. It was so urgent. Fortunately, there was a kid who went to the toilet with me. It's a pity that I can only show 20 photos 😳 There are many more photos that I can't show Li Jin's next travel plan is to take a cruise 😆 My parents took a cruise every summer vacation. I hope both kids can experience it! ! #Sign up for a cruise test seat #Good place for families #Mainland China attractions

This restaurant is located in the Yihao Western Restaurant next to the elevator in the lobby of Enping Yihao Hotel. The restaurant is very large, with wide and comfortable seats. There is a large TV to watch news reports from all over the world. The interior decoration is elegant, and the seats outside have fresh air and are quiet enough, and you can also enjoy the charming night view. The buffet dinner session was from 7pm to 9pm, which was enough time to enjoy all the delicious food. I saw that the drinks included different fruit juices, soy milk, coffee, black tea, beer and bottled Vitasoy, which is the favorite of Hong Kong people. This surprised me. The food includes hot food, sushi, salad, Chinese and Western soup, Chinese dessert, various seafood and desserts. I tried all kinds of seafood, each one was fresh and sweet. The desserts were one bite long and not greasy. The restaurant staff was very fast in replenishing drinks and food, and they were also considerate enough to give each person a dessert coupon (whole papaya stewed with snow fungus). The papaya was sweet and the snow fungus was chewy, which was very satisfying. A seafood buffet at only three hundred dollars is cheap and good value compared to Hong Kong. I would give it 8 points and hope everyone will like my introduction.

On the first day of Easter, I took the first tourist bus to Shenzhen Bay Port. When I arrived at the port, it was already crowded, but the customs clearance was smooth. Perhaps it was because of the large crowds, the customs did not check the black code. I just had to wait 20 minutes when I reached the luggage belt before I could pass. Finally, I completed the customs clearance procedure within half an hour. We took a two and a half hour mainland tourist bus to arrive at our destination hotel (Enping Yihao Hotel). When we entered the hotel lobby, we saw many tour groups. The waiter kindly asked us to sit down and wait for a while. After getting the room card, I excitedly went up to the room. The room was on the 22nd floor. The elevator lobby and corridors were spacious and bright. The room was very clean and hygienic, with good sound insulation and was very quiet. The bedding was also very comfortable, with great attention to detail. The disposable toothbrushes were of good quality, and bath salts were provided for bathing. If you need a bathtub bag, you can ask the waiter for it. I noticed a special feature of this hotel: food and supplies are delivered to guest rooms by electric robots, which is quite high-tech. The hotel is in a great location, next to the Jinjiang River, with a great view, and the scenery is even more impressive at night. It is very convenient to dine and shop nearby at night. The hotel also specially sent small gifts (drinks and snacks) as midnight snacks. I would give this accommodation experience a score of 90, and I hope this post can help everyone.

Just eating farmhouse food is not fun? Then move on to the farm to experience the joy of harvesting and the happiness of harvest! Located in the southwest of No.3 Farm, Shengxi Farm is the best place for Hengdaquandu to be a good size or three-five friends. The whole farm has a large area, including rice area, banana planting area, vegetable growing area, and fruit greenhouse area. However, the most attractive thing for me is the fruit forest, because there is the lemon that attracts me the most. Perfume lemon fruit type is longer than the general variety of lemon, and large and non-nuclear, the biggest feature is that the peel taste is sweet, completely without the bitter taste of other lemons, not only can directly slice the water, but also can make lemon honey.

Enping, Guangdong, known as the "Hometown of Hot Springs" and "Geothermal Capital of China," is an ecological health resort on the western wing of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. With its beautiful mountains and clear waters, abundant geothermal resources, and rich overseas Chinese culture, it boasts both natural wonders and cultural heritage. Here are four must-see representative attractions to help you efficiently explore Enping: Jinshan Hot Spring Resort: Enping's most representative and flagship scenic spot, it possesses a rare radon-rich metasilicic acid type natural hot spring in China.

The resort blends Lingnan garden style with over 30 themed hot spring pools (including medicinal pools, aromatherapy pools, and waterfall pools), hot spring villas, a children's water park, and high-end hotels. As night falls, soaking in the hot springs while enjoying the mountain breeze and stargazing is incredibly relaxing. It is recommended to allocate half a day to a full day for this experience, especially suitable for family trips and health retreats. 2.

The "Scholarship Field Stele" at the village entrance records the wisdom of supporting education through farming, while the stone carvings along the "Road to Success in the Imperial Examinations" symbolize "rising step by step." It is recommended to hire a local guide for a better understanding of the local educational tradition of "upholding moral integrity and broadening one's horizons to observe the past and present." 4.

In spring, azaleas blanket the mountain, and in autumn, the terraced fields ripple like golden waves.

Zhaoqing · picturesque landscapes slow down time Don’t want to deal with crowds on the weekend? Zhaoqing is definitely the most relaxing “backyard” for Guangzhou workers. From Guangzhou South Station, it’s a 40-minute high-speed train ride, then a quick drive into the heart of Lingnan’s natural beauty. ✨ Highlights · Seven Star Crags: Not Guilin, but the karst peaks reflected on the lake are even more peaceful. Be sure to take a bamboo raft through the “Water Moon Rock Clouds.” In the morning mist, it feels like stepping into an ink painting. · Dinghu Mountain: The green gem on the Tropic of Cancer. Walk up along Feishuitan Waterfall, where the negative ions are off the charts and the creek water cools your toes. At the top, Qingyun Temple offers peace charms, but don’t burn incense recklessly. · Ziyun Valley: A hidden canyon by the Xijiang River with emerald pools so clear you can see the stone patterns. A half-hour hike leads to “Sky Blue Lake.” Remember to bring a swimsuit for soaking in the mountain springs during summer. · Ancient city wall: The ruins of a Song Dynasty wall. Under the weathered bricks, locals play cards and walk dogs. Climb Chaotian Gate at dusk to watch the Xijiang River sunset paint the city orange. 🗺 Itinerary Day 1: Guangzhou South → Zhaoqing East → Seven Star Crags (half day) → Yanqian Village (cycling + dinner) Day 2: Dinghu Mountain (morning) → Ziyun Valley (afternoon) → return If time is tight, just visit Dinghu Mountain and Seven Star Crags. Two days is just right. 🍜 Food recommendations · Wrapped steamed rice dumplings: Zhaoqing’s signature, sticky rice with mung beans and pork belly, wrapped in lotus leaves with a fragrant aroma. Try the old favorite “Feizai Wei” and eat while hot. · Zhaoqing steamed dumplings: Thin skin, tender filling, dipped in vinegar and chili rings, paired with the local “mountain spring tofu pudding.” · Wenlang carp: Only found in Wenlanglang at the foot of Dinghu Mountain. The fish is sweet and delicate, best steamed. 📌 Travel tips · Seven Star Crags ticket is 78 yuan, Dinghu Mountain 70 yuan. Buying one day in advance on the platform saves 10 yuan. · Ziyun Valley requires a ferry to the island. Ferry + ticket is 60 yuan. The last ferry leaves at 4:30 PM, don’t miss it. · Taxi from Zhaoqing East Station to Seven Star Crags takes about 30 minutes. Bus K01 goes directly. · Mosquitoes are common in the mountains. Bring insect repellent and wear long pants. Jiangmen · diaolou old dreams, a hometown of overseas Chinese If Zhaoqing is about landscapes, Jiangmen is about stories. One hour by high-speed train takes you into a world full of diaolou and arcade buildings from the old days. ✨ Highlights · Kaiping diaolou: A world cultural heritage site and filming location for the movie “Let the Bullets Fly.” The densest cluster is in Zili Village. You can still see bullet holes in Mingshi Tower. Don’t just take photos outside—go inside to see iron windows, fireplaces, and Southeast Asian furniture, like stepping back to the Republic of China era. · Chikan ancient town: Renovated but still preserving the arcade streets, now cleaner than before. At dusk, stroll the alleys where the stone roads shine, and find old shops selling “Niulan Ci” and “Tofu Jiao.” · Guifeng Mountain: Jiangmen’s backyard garden. The autumn leaves are beautiful, but the summer shade is more comfortable. At the foot is Yutai Temple, popular for incense, but don’t ask for divinations. · Bird paradise: The “bird paradise” described by Ba Jin. Take a boat around the island to see egrets and grey cranes landing and taking off from banyan trees. Keep quiet to avoid scaring the birds. 🗺 Itinerary Day 1: Guangzhou South → Jiangmen East → Kaiping diaolou (Zili Village + Liyuan, half day) → Chikan ancient town (dinner + night view) Day 2: Guifeng Mountain (morning) → Bird paradise (afternoon) → return · For a deeper visit, spend a full day at Kaiping diaolou and also visit the quieter Majianglong diaolou cluster.* 🍜 Food recommendations · Enping luocai: Clears heat and detoxifies. Luocai crucian carp soup is a local summer staple with a slightly bitter but sweet aftertaste. · Taishan eel rice: Cooked fresh in a clay pot, the eel is deboned, and the rice crust is crispy and fragrant. Try “Xinghua Eel Rice,” with the main store in Kaiping. · Xinhui dried tangerine peel: Buy some 10-year aged peel to brew tea or try dishes like dried tangerine peel duck and dried tangerine peel red bean soup. 📌 Travel tips · Kaiping diaolou combo ticket is 180 yuan, covering Zili Village, Liyuan, Majianglong, and others. Valid for two days. Combo tickets are recommended. · Chikan ancient town is now free to enter, but some old buildings are under renovation. Be careful. · Bird paradise ticket is 50 yuan. Boat fare is extra. Morning visits are best when the birds are most active. · Jiangmen East Station is close to the city, but to reach Kaiping diaolou you need to transfer by bus or carpool, about a 1-hour ride.

☀️ essential outfit tips 👗 In late July and early August, Jiangmen feels like 95°F or higher, with intense sun, humidity, and occasional thunderstorms. Quick-dry short sleeves paired with loose linen pants are a lifesaver. For shoes, either holey shoes or non-slip sneakers work well. The stone-paved streets in the old arcade area can be slippery after rain. Start with SPF 50 sunscreen and bring a sun-and-rain umbrella ☂️ to block strong sun and sudden storms. To capture the vintage vibe of San Shisan Xu Street, the same light blue and white striped shirt from the show "The Knockout" works great. Don’t wear anything too thick—Jiangmen nights are hotter than your daytime at home. ⚠️ avoid pitfalls 🚫 Parking near Changti historical and cultural district is tight. If driving, park at Chang’an Xintiandi parking lot 🅿️. The distance between Kaiping Diaolou scenic spots is quite far, so renting a car or booking a private car (about 300 yuan/day) saves time. Avoid eating at overpriced seafood restaurants near the scenic spots—they often overcharge tourists. Don’t buy roadside overpriced "century-old dried tangerine peel" casually; reputable old shops are more reliable. Water inside the Diaolou scenic area is expensive. Sometimes booking tickets on Trip.com includes complimentary bottled water. Accommodation in Chikan Ancient Town is in high demand; book rooms on Trip.com at least two weeks in advance. 🍜 authentic food 🥢 Jiangmen’s food scene is low-key but intense. Gujing roast goose has crispy skin and tender meat. In Tangkou Town, eel rice costs 60–90 yuan per pot (serves 2–3). The rice soaks up the eel’s aroma perfectly, served with a side of tofu cubes—a classic overseas Chinese hometown dish 🍲. Near San Shisan Xu Street in the city, pig’s trotters noodles cost about 20 yuan per bowl. The Qiangsheng restaurant is the same famous spot from the show, and queues are normal. Enping rice noodles work well for breakfast, costing 10–15 yuan. Locals often pair it with duck congee. For drinks, dried tangerine peel ice cream and milk tea are available in Chenpi Village, offering a sweet and sour refreshment 🧋. 🚌 transportation guide 🚏 Driving from the Pearl River Delta takes about 2 hours. Travel time between scenic spots is about 40–60 minutes. Renting a car or booking a private car offers more flexibility. If you prefer not to drive, try the popular "3:30 PM afternoon tea bus line"—Pengjiang & Jianghai line costs 58 yuan per person, including tea and snacks, running on weekends. For exploring Xinhui, the "Hi Tea Bus" Xinhui line costs 38 yuan per person, combining sightseeing with tasting dried tangerine peel pastries. Tickets and shuttle services can be booked on Trip.com. From Jiangmen East Station to Kaiping Diaolou, there is a direct shuttle taking about 1.5 hours.

⛱️A short weekend trip from Guangzhou and Foshan to take the kids, I discovered a hidden gem at Quanlin Golden Town! Tianyue Quanlin Resort Hotel truly understands family travel, completely changing my impression of Enping hot spring hotels! The biggest plus is the room size and bed setup, offering excellent value. 🏨The featured waterside/pool view rooms offer a spacious 70㎡, not cramped small rooms. There’s plenty of room to move around, so kids can run and play freely, and there’s no tightness when placing luggage or strollers. The ground-floor waterside rooms open directly to the popular swimming lane, so you can step outside and start playing in the water. The wide-open pool view is stunning and perfect for photos. ‼️Special praise for the hotel’s newly renovated twin-bed rooms! They come standard with two 1.5-meter beds, a rare extra-wide bed size on the market. Two adults and one child, or even two adults and two children, can sleep comfortably without crowding, with plenty of room to turn over. The stay experience is outstanding. 🌸With a water park, swimming pool, popular swimming lane, and other fun water facilities, everything you need for eating, staying, and playing is covered in one place. Spacious rooms, wide beds, and a comfortable environment make this hotel highly recommended for family vacations!

Guangzhou summers are too hot☀️ On weekends, I just want to escape into the mountains and breathe in fresh air. I've discovered 4 hidden gem routes, directly accessible by high-speed rail in 2 hours. Meadows, lakes, karst landscapes... so beautiful words fail me. Quickly save these and visit them one by one✨ ⛰️Hezhou · Step into a karst painting 📍Highlights: The bluestone paths of Huangyao Ancient Town glow, and bamboo rafts drift leisurely under Dailong Bridge. The Jade Forest is a rare cluster of white marble pillars, like stepping onto an alien planet. Guposhan Waterfall Group is incredibly stunning, with extremely high negative oxygen ion levels. 🗺️Itinerary: Day 1: Stroll leisurely and have tea in Huangyao Ancient Town; stay in an ancient town guesthouse. Day 2: Explore the Jade Forest; hike and breathe fresh air in Guposhan. 🍜Must-try dishes: Sour beef intestines, Douchi noodles, Guahua Niang. 💡Tips: The ancient town is perfect for photos in the morning and evening; Hanfu outfits look great. The stone steps in the Jade Forest are narrow, so wear non-slip shoes. 🌿Chenzhou · Step into a high-mountain grassland 📍Highlights: Yangtian Lake Grand Grassland is 1,314 meters above sea level, with windmills, meadows, and Hobbit-like houses, truly resembling Switzerland! Wake up early at Xiaodongjiang to see fishermen casting nets, like a traditional Chinese painting. Gaoyiling Danxia landform looks like a giant dragon's spine from an aerial view. 🗺️Itinerary: Day 1: Horse riding and grass sliding at Yangtian Lake; stay near Xiaodongjiang. Day 2: Wake up early to photograph the morning mist; watch the sunset at Gaoyiling. 🍜Must-try dishes: Pig-killing noodles, roasted chicken, Dongjiang salmon. 💡Tips: The best time for the misty scenery at Xiaodongjiang is 6:00–8:00 AM.

Seriously! To chase after the old town featured in "The Knockout" and the World Heritage Diaolou, I've visited Jiangmen three times from the Pearl River Delta! The vibrant arcade buildings of Thirty-Three Market Street, the Diaolou amidst rice waves in Zili Village, and the century-old charm of Chikan Ancient Town—each visit brings new surprises 😭 Please take note of these practical tips— 📸 Photo spots (these spots are amazing) Thirty-Three Market Street: A filming location for "The Knockout" and the soul of Jiangmen's old town! With bluestone paths, mottled arcade buildings, and old-fashioned signs, I recommend wearing retro Hong Kong style or dark-colored clothes and capturing shots under the arcade buildings for an instant 90s movie vibe. Go before 8 AM for fewer crowds and soft light. Kaiping Diaolou and Villages · Zili Village: A World Heritage site and a filming location for "Let the Bullets Fly"! 15 Diaolou are scattered among the rice fields. Climb to the top of Ming Shi Lou for a panoramic view of the rice fields. Wear white/red outfits with a straw hat to capture the blend of Chinese and Western architecture with pastoral scenery. I recommend going in the evening when the sunset dyes the Diaolou golden. Admission is CNY 78. Kaiping Diaolou and Villages · Liyuan Garden: A private garden blending Chinese and Western styles, with waterside pavilions creating a symmetrical and exquisite composition. Admission is CNY 100. Buying a combo ticket for CNY 180, valid for two days, is more cost-effective! Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town: Over 600 arcade buildings stretch for nearly 3 kilometers, making it the largest and best-preserved overseas Chinese ancient arcade building complex in the country! I recommend staying within the scenic area (free admission). In the evening, take the "ding-ding" tram through the century-old arcade street, and the night lights create a wonderful atmosphere. Admission is about CNY 60, open until 10:00 PM. Bird Paradise: The inspiration for Ba Jin's essay "Bird's Paradise"! Take a boat through the water banyan tree corridor (admission CNY 65 including boat ticket) to witness the spectacular sight of thousands of birds leaving and returning to their nests. I recommend going in the early morning or evening. Xinhui Chenpi Village: Only 2.8 kilometers from Bird Paradise, immerse yourself in Chenpi (dried tangerine peel) culture. The well-designed spaces are perfect for retro photos. Chenpi ice cream and Chenpi coffee are must-try specialties. Qi Chao's Hometown: Liang Qichao's former residence, only a 4-minute drive from Chenpi Village. Free admission! Experience the cultural atmosphere of a great historical figure. 🗺️ How to plan your route (the essence of three visits) 3-day, 2-night classic itinerary: Day 1: Arrive in Jiangmen → Thirty-Three Market Street (featured in "The Knockout") → Changdi Historical and Cultural District → Stay in the city center at night. Day 2: Kaiping Diaolou (Zili Village + Liyuan Garden, combo ticket valid for two days) → Chikan Ancient Town in the evening to see the arcade night view → Stay within the Chikan scenic area (free admission). Day 3: Xinhui Bird Paradise for bird watching by boat → Chenpi Village for shopping and dining → Liang Qichao's former residence → Return trip. ⚠️ The Kaiping Diaolou cluster attractions are spread out, so self-driving or chartering a car is recommended! 🍖 Don't miss these foods (Jiangmen is Guangdong's hidden culinary gem!) Gujing roasted goose: Jiangmen's signature dish! A provincial intangible cultural heritage, roasted over lychee wood fire, with crispy skin and bursting juices. Taishan eel claypot rice: The "king of rice" cooked in a claypot, with rice grains fully absorbing the fresh eel juice, distinct and flavorful. Enping shortbread: Soft and nostalgic, baked over charcoal fire. Chenpi limited editions: Chenpi ice cream, Chenpi coffee, Chenpi tea, unique to Xinhui. 🚗 How to get there High-speed rail: Guangzhou South Station → Kaiping South Station, about 50 minutes. A 20-minute taxi ride from the station to Chikan/Zili Village. Self-driving: About 1.5–2 hours from the Pearl River Delta. Self-driving is the most convenient way to visit the scattered attractions. Save money with combo tickets: Chikan + Zili Village 2-day package for CNY 120. Kaiping Diaolou combo ticket for CNY 180, valid for four attractions over two days. 💡 A few final tips Best season: March–May for spring blossoms, September–November for crisp autumn weather; summer is excellent for island getaways. What to wear: The old town has many bluestone paths, so comfortable flat shoes are a must! For photos at the Diaolou, wear white/red outfits with a straw hat. Accommodation: Staying within the Chikan scenic area grants free admission and allows you to enjoy the arcade streets alone in the early morning. Opening hours: Zili Village 9:10 AM–5:50 PM, Chikan 10:00 AM–10:00 PM. Jiangmen is one of those "one visit is not enough" treasure cities—Diaolou, arcade buildings, islands, Chenpi, and roasted goose all in one go! With direct high-speed rail access, it's perfect for a weekend escape 🏛️✨

Calling Jiangmen in July Guangdong’s "invisible steamer" is no exaggeration—high temperature orange alerts up to 36℃, with afternoon thunderstorms popping up at any time🌩️. But with the filming locations of The Knockout and the Kaiping Diaolou as draws, it’s still worth sweating it out for a trip. The following guide is organized in the order I experienced it myself. Booking tickets and checking rooms on Trip.com is convenient, just follow along. 🚨 Pitfall guide The first pitfall of going to Jiangmen in July is the weather itself. Afternoon thunderstorms come suddenly. Around the Diaolou, with fields and bamboo groves, you’ll get soaked and have to watch out for mosquitoes. Be sure to carry mosquito repellent🦟. The ticket for Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town is 150 yuan. If you only want to photograph the arcade buildings’ exteriors, the old street outside is free and very photogenic, so you don’t necessarily have to buy a ticket. The Diaolou combo ticket is 175 yuan (includes Zili Village, Liyuan Garden, Majanglong, Jinjiangli, and Nanlou, valid for 2 days), much more cost-effective than buying single tickets. Booking on Trip.com a day in advance can save you the price of a few milk teas. Another small pitfall: eel rice is cooked fresh to order, so waiting 20–30 minutes is normal. Don’t order it right before you need to catch a train or bus. 👕 Must-have outfit In July, the heat index in Jiangmen can reach 40℃, with sun, humidity, and rain. Quick-dry short sleeves and loose linen pants are lifesavers. Shoes can be Crocs or non-slip sneakers. The stone slab roads in the arcade old street get slippery after rain. Use SPF 50 sunscreen as a base and remember to reapply. Bring a sun-and-rain umbrella☂️ to block strong sun and handle sudden thunderstorms. To capture the vintage vibe of San Shisanxu Street, the same shirt color as in The Knockout (light blue with white stripes) works well for photos. Just don’t wear anything too thick—Jiangmen nights are hotter than your daytime at home. 🍜 Authentic food Jiangmen’s food is "low-key but intense." Gujing roast goose has crispy skin and tender meat. Eel rice in Tangkou Town costs 60–90 yuan per pot (serves 2–3), with rice soaked in eel aroma, paired with a plate of tofu cubes—a classic overseas Chinese hometown dish🍲. In the city’s Pengjiang district, near San Shisanxu Street, pig’s feet noodles cost about 20 yuan a bowl. The Qiangsheng restaurant is the same one featured in the show, so expect a line. Enping rice noodles and Hetang pickled vegetables make a good breakfast, costing 10–15 yuan. Pair with duck congee for a local-style meal. 📸 Must-visit spots Kaiping Diaolou cultural tourism area is a must—filming location of Let the Bullets Fly. Tickets are 73 yuan for Zili Village, 95 yuan for Liyuan Garden, 45 yuan for Majanglong, and 45 yuan for Jinjiangli. Single tickets are fine, but the 175 yuan combo ticket is better value. The fusion-style towers stand in rice fields, which are green in July, making for great photos🌾. Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town ticket is 150 yuan. Over 600 century-old arcade buildings line the Tan River. The tram costs 80 yuan per person (optional). Visiting in the evening lets you catch both day and night lighting. Iron flower shows and intangible cultural heritage performances mostly happen at night. Back in Jiangmen city, San Shisanxu Street and Qimingli are free. These were filming locations for The Knockout, with old arcades and lanterns, and the atmosphere is stronger at night📸. If you have time, add the Overseas Chinese Museum, free with reservation. Enjoy the air conditioning while brushing up on the century-long history of the overseas Chinese hometown. 🚄 Transportation guide High-speed rail is the most reliable for long-distance travel: Guangzhou South to Kaiping South Station takes 50 minutes, Shenzhen North about 1.5 hours. Taxi from Kaiping South Station to Zili Village costs around 35 yuan, to Chikan Ancient Town about 30 yuan. The scenic spots are spread out. The Diaolou shuttle bus between Zili Village, Liyuan Garden, and Majanglong is free and runs every 20 minutes, but the frequency isn’t high. For groups of 4 or more, renting a car for 200–300 yuan per day is more convenient. Driving from Jiangmen city to the counties is also fine. Exit at Tangkou on the Shenhai Expressway. Parking at scenic spots costs 5 yuan per time. You can park by the roadside near the wild Diaolou. I booked a guesthouse with arcade buildings near Chikan Ancient Town on Trip.com for 180–300 yuan per night. Staying inside the scenic area means you don’t have to buy tickets again the next day, which is more cost-effective than buying single tickets. The mindset for July is simple: don’t rush. Leave around 8 or 9 AM, hide indoors at noon, then go out again in the evening. Otherwise, Jiangmen’s sun will really teach you a lesson🔥.

【Additional notes】During May Day 2025, a few friends got together for a spontaneous deep tour of Jiangmen. This trip focused on a “lazy parent with kids” style—soaking in hot springs, enjoying the water park, exploring ancient towns, and visiting children’s playgrounds. It was full of energy, great value, and fun for both adults and kids. 🏨 Accommodation picks: these two budget-friendly hotels are must-book 1. Enping Shanquanwan Hot Spring Hotel (2 nights) This hot spring hotel, known as the “Venice of Guangdong,” offers excellent value. If you stay in a waterside room, just open the balcony door to the hot spring swimming channel! The water is about 37℃, so kids can swim without catching cold. The value is outstanding—you get unlimited access to the Venice swimming channel plus the hot springs and water park, perfect for a few days of relaxing with kids. 2. Jiangmen Mingguan Jin Hyatt Hotel (1 night) Moving to the city, this hotel is a real gem! Great value, spacious and clean rooms. The best part is the package includes tickets to the panda family playground and a generous buffet, very family-friendly. 🗺️ Our itinerary 📍DAY 1 happy start: dive into the Venice swimming channel and hot springs Arrived in Enping at noon. After checking in at Shanquanwan, the kids headed straight to the Venice waterside swimming channel. We rented the popular glass boat and paddleboard to leisurely paddle along the channel, very relaxing. In the evening, we soaked in Shanquanwan’s hot springs. Over 50 natural pools hidden in the gardens helped wash away all fatigue. 📍DAY 2 time travel: day trip to Chikan ancient town Drove from Enping to Chikan ancient town. This overseas Chinese-style arcade architecture is very photogenic. Must-do: we took the ding ding tram, the best way to tour the ancient town. The kids also tried water shooting and other activities, having a blast. There were live shows like the Fire Show and The Return. If you stay until night, the iron flower and fireworks are stunning. 📍DAY 3 park transfer: from water park to panda playground In the morning, we played at Shanquanwan’s water world, with water obstacle courses, rainbow slides, and more. In the afternoon, drove to the city and checked in at Jiangmen Mingguan Jin Hyatt Hotel. After a short rest, we went to the panda family playground. The park has trampolines, slides, carousels, and the kids played until they didn’t want to leave. 📍DAY 4 final stop: Jiangmen children’s park & manor dining On the last day, we visited Jiangmen Children’s Park, which has a “real sand wave” water park and a land-based non-powered playground. The non-powered playground’s attractions rival those of major children’s parks in Guangzhou. For lunch, we went to Xin Caiji Manor, recommended by local friends. The environment feels like a Jiangnan courtyard, with traditional dance performances. Highly recommend the black truffle roast goose and crispy glass-skinned pigeon. You can have a great meal for under 100 per person. This Jiangmen trip offered great value at both hotels, with attractions close by, making the May Day holiday very comfortable.
