Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town Rong'an Apartment (Round-trip shuttle for two + Starbucks for two)




With picturesque scenery, a pleasant climate and a rich historical and cultural heritage, Chikan Town boasts a history of over 370 years since its establishment as a port and market town, and retains more than 600 arcade buildings (qilou).
Step from the modern city into the "Nanyang Republic of China era" and explore the stories hidden within every corner of this ancient town's architecture.
This is the "Hidden Republic of China Era".

Located in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, known as China's No.1 Hometown of Overseas Chinese, it sits at the crossroads of Guangdong's east‑west corridor, in the heart of the Guangdong‑Hong Kong‑Macao Greater Bay Area, adjacent to the World Heritage Site of Kaiping Diaolou and Villages.
Seize the moment of youth and good times, step into the ancient town and embark on a journey through time. We recommend three classic boutique inns: Rong'an, Changsheng and Jinxu. Stay in Republic of China‑style guesthouses and savour the charm of bygone days.

Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town is home to the largest, most continuous and best‑preserved cluster of ancient arcade buildings (qilou) in China, hailed as a "stunning gallery of Sino‑Western architectural art".

Hop aboard the double‑decker dark green vintage tram and weave through the streets to the sound of ringing bells.
Spend 30 minutes roaming the ancient town, admiring the diaolou (watchtowers) and qilou (arcade buildings), as if travelling back to that romantic Republic of China era.

When visiting Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town, be sure to sample the authentic local cuisine. Head to Niuwei Road in the scenic area and enjoy a traditional Cantonese morning tea (yum cha) — become a true "morning tea regular"!
Taking a boat ride and enjoying nature is another delightful experience — savour the beauty of gliding across rippling blue waters.
Brew a pot of fragrant morning tea, order a few baskets of classic must‑try dim sum, and watch the boats sway gently on the shimmering water. Flowers bloom along the lakeshore, and traditional buildings with grey brick and black tiles are reflected in the sparkling lake — a scene full of poetic charm.
During a lazy holiday, stroll through the town and personally experience the stories of time flowing through every brick and tile.
Here, you can also immerse yourself in the unique overseas Chinese culture and feel the authentic atmosphere of the qiaoxiang (hometown of overseas Chinese). Enjoy spectacular performances such as Chikan dragon and lion dances, and the musical fountain show — there's non‑stop entertainment from day to night.
