A chaotic place

The main location of The Knockout is Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province.

This southern town, which is surrounded by mountains and waters, has a unique retro charm of the hometown of overseas Chinese, which really makes people feel back to the beginning of 2 1 century. As the hometown of more than 4 million overseas Chinese in the world, countless ancestors set out from here to the world, traveled all over five continents, and finally returned to their homeland. The retro charm of the blend of East and West is a distinctive feature that distinguishes it from other places. Jiangmen not only retains the old buildings, but also has a strong urban atmosphere, and is known as the ideal "natural studio" for filming film and television dramas.

Many scenes in The Knockout's plays were shot in Jiangmen, artificial lake in Taishan City, government building in Jianghai District, overseas Chinese village in Taishan, Meijia Courtyard and other places.

Jiangmen must-see attractions:

Sanshiwei Street 1

Sanshan Market Street is the birthplace of Jiangmen City, which can be regarded as the origin of the city. It is not a specific street name, but the general name of historical blocks such as Xuding, North Street and Chang Di.

2. Jiangmen Shuijie Farmers Market

Shuijie Farmers' Market is the oldest vegetable market in Jiangmen. There are bustling arcades on both sides of the water street, with a small balcony of retro western style upstairs and various small shops downstairs. Later, after the upgrading of Water Street, the booths were more uniform, but the fireworks noise did not decrease.

3. The arcade building in Taishan District

The arcade is a commercial and residential building, and it is hot and rainy in Lingnan, so a part of the first floor is often set aside as a public sidewalk for sun protection in sunny days and rain protection in rainy days. Different from simple houses, arcade buildings also have gorgeous glass, carved columns that combine Chinese and western styles and other details worth seeing. This beautiful and practical building is very charming.

4. Meijia courtyard

Meijia Courtyard is an ancient building jointly built by overseas Chinese. Imitation of Gothic, Romanesque, Baroque, Nanyang, Monument Pavilion and other architectural styles have all been integrated into the traditional arcade architecture in Lingnan, and this kind of ancient architecture full of mixed customs is rare in China.

5. Kaiping Diaolou villagers' group

The watchtower was originally built by people to live and prevent natural disasters. However, overseas Chinese who returned to China added their own aesthetics when building houses, so they moved the western castles to the rural areas of Lingnan, and used Doric columns, Gothic pointed arches, Onek vortex and other decorations to produce this style of combining Chinese and Western styles.
