Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town Jinxu Hotel (Round-trip shuttle service + Tram + Starbucks)

With picturesque scenery, pleasant climate and rich historical and cultural heritage, Chikan Town has a history of more than 370 years since its founding as a port and market town, and retains over 600 arcade buildings (qilou).

Stepping from the modern city into the "Nanyang Republic of China era," explore the stories hidden within the ancient town's architecture — this is the "Hidden Republic of China."

Situated in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, known as China's No.1 Hometown of Overseas Chinese, it lies on the key east‑west transport corridor of Guangdong and in the heart of the Greater Bay Area, adjacent to the World Heritage Site of Kaiping Diaolou (watchtowers) and Villages.

While youth and time are still on our side, embark on a journey through time in this ancient town. We recommend the three classic boutique inns: Wing On / Cheung Shing / Kam Hui. Stay in a Republic‑era style guesthouse and savour the charm of bygone days.

Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town is the largest, most continuous and best‑preserved cluster of ancient overseas Chinese arcade buildings (qilou) in the country, hailed as an "awe‑inspiring corridor of Sino‑Western architectural art."

Hop on the double‑decker dark‑green vintage tram and weave through the streets to the sound of its bell. In 30 minutes, you can roam the ancient town, admire the diaolou (watchtowers) and qilou (arcade buildings), and feel as if you've travelled back to the romantic Republic of China era.

When you visit Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town, be sure to try the authentic local cuisine. Head to Ngau Wui Road in the scenic area, savour traditional Cantonese morning tea (yum cha), and become a true "morning tea regular" for a day.

Boarding a boat and keeping company with nature offers a uniquely delightful experience — enjoy the pleasure of gliding across the rippling blue waters.

Brew a pot of fragrant morning tea, order a few baskets of classic dim sum, and watch the boats sway on the clear ripples. With flowers in full bloom along the shore and traditional buildings of grey bricks and dark tiles reflected on the shimmering lake, the scene is nothing short of poetic.

During a leisurely holiday, stroll through the town and personally experience the stories of time flowing through every brick and tile.

Here, you can also experience the distinctive overseas Chinese culture and immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of the homeland of overseas Chinese. Enjoy spectacular performances such as Chikan dragon and lion dances, musical fountain shows, and much more — there's non‑stop entertainment from day to night.
