| Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town takes you to the Republic of China in a second!!!. The century-old arcade town that is unknown to many, a second to the Republic of China Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town is located in Kaiping, Jiangmen, Guangdong, one of the starting points for overseas Chinese to cross the ocean, and it has a history of 370 years.

About accommodation
There are many hotels and hostels in the scenic area. I live in the Meitang Hotel. The Republic of China style design is my favorite. The black and white main color, retro tiles, bamboo rattan wooden chairs, retro telephones... intertwine the old memories of Chikan and Western romance. The rooftop swimming pool overlooks the ancient town, full of happiness.
Ancient town food
The Cantonese cuisine of Nanyuan Restaurant is very good, the secret roast pork is really yyds! Go to Xinglong Beef Hot Pot at night, the heat is very satisfying.
The superb ancient town, unexpectedly fun, the scenery is very good, retains the style of the arcade, as if you are in an ancient town in Europe, plus the newly developed commercial street, people can live in addition to visiting the ancient town, you can also taste it carefully.
I thought it was a general ancient town. When I got there, it was amazing and fun. The ancient town was large in scale. The old building was retained. The new commercial street was also very good. In short, it was a good place to visit attractions and leisure and entertainment.
The ancient town has beautiful scenery, historical significance and times. The environment is comfortable and it is a good place for leisure. The whole ancient town is clean and hygienic, the bathroom is clean, and the paper towels are equipped. The parking lot is large and there are many parking spaces. A place with many tourists is well managed!
Many attractions in the scenic area have no air conditioning in the room, it is not recommended to go in summer, especially hot! The winter spring and autumn were very good in the past, the scenic spot was very clean and beautiful, and the children's bathroom was very tall and convenient and clean! The program is OK, leisurely strolling, there is no children's amusement facilities, except for the children who always say that there is nothing fun, the mineral water in the scenic area is particularly expensive, 10 yuan a bottle! Taipa rice is 28 yuan a, and the cake is 1 yuan a good deal! Nongfu Spring ordinary bottle sold for 10 yuan is really expensive, the Pricing Administration Consumer Committee should manage
The architectural style in the ancient town is unique and well preserved. It is mainly based on Chinese and Western mixed style and modern style buildings. The streets are curved and the layout is neat. On both sides of the stone streets, the low gray brick and tile houses are scattered, and the color of the bricks and tiles reflects the vicissitudes of history. Highlight the cultural landscape and historical business style of overseas Chinese.
