Coming to the sleepless city of Guangdong, how can you miss the dazzling night view?

🎇Night Tour Guide of Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town🎇 🌈🌈Guangdong Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town has a long and unique historical background. It has a history of 370 years of establishment and development, gradually formed by the Guan family in the upper town and the Situ family in the lower town at the east and west ends of the ancient town. As early as the Shunzhi period of the Qing Dynasty, Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town gradually emerged due to its proximity to the Tan River and convenient water transportation. From the Qing Dynasty to the Republic of China, it became an important water transportation hub of the Tan River, with flourishing commerce. Starting from the ancient town wharf, generations of overseas Chinese crossed the seas, sent their wealth back to their hometown after hard work abroad, and introduced foreign architectural techniques, creatively building a unique arcade building complex with Chikan characteristics. The 600-plus arcade buildings here form the largest, most continuous, and best-preserved overseas Chinese arcade building complex in China, and it was rated as a Chinese historical and cultural town in 2007. Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town is also the hometown of many famous people such as the famous patriotic overseas Chinese leader Situ Meitang, revolutionary martyr Deng Yifei, and Chinese film pioneer Guan Wenqing. The integration of overseas Chinese culture, film culture, clan culture, and its derivative handicraft culture, food culture, language culture, traditional folk culture, etc., makes the ancient town a unique overseas Chinese cultural town and a popular filming location for many film and television works. 💖Transportation Guide: 📍Navigation: Guangdong Chikan Ancient Town Overseas Chinese International Tourism Resort. 🚝High-speed rail: After arriving at "Kaiping South Station", take a taxi for about 18 kilometers, which takes about 25 minutes.😉 🌙During the day, it is a European-style town full of charm🏰; at night, it instantly switches to the glamorous night Shanghai mode🎆, and any random shot seems to take you back to the 1926 era, super photogenic📷! 🌟Recommended Tour Route: 1.
