What kind of land is this? From an aerial perspective, this land is filled with the locals’ love for it. This is the famous scenic spot in Kaiping, Guangzhou - the watchtowers and villages. ?

The Kaiping Diaolou is a special type of Chinese vernacular architecture. It is a multi-story tower-style building that integrates defense, residence and Chinese and Western architectural arts. It is characterized by a combination of Chinese and Western folk houses, including ancient Greek, ancient Roman and Islamic styles, the movies "Let the Bullets Fly" and "The Grandmaster" were filmed here. Kaiping Diaolou includes four scenic spots: Liyuan, Zili Village Diaolou Group, Chikan Film and Television City (under renovation), and Jinjiangli Diaolou Group, all of which are worth visiting.

If you don’t know it, Kaiping Diaolou is the only world cultural heritage in Guangdong. You can see it everywhere along the way, concentrated in Zili Village, Liyuan and other places.

These watchtowers can be said to be vernacular buildings with Chinese characteristics that carry the history of overseas Chinese hometowns. Kaiping is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, with more than 800,000 Kaiping residents living overseas. The architecture here is a mixture of various Western elements and local elements. This castle-like architecture is full of historical memories of overseas Chinese hometowns. It is not only a display of wealth, but also a portrayal of the turbulent social reality during the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China. ?
