Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town Rong'an Hotel Standard Room (with Double Starbucks)

With picturesque scenery, a pleasant climate and a rich historical and cultural heritage, Chikan Town has a history of over 370 years since its establishment as a 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 the architecture of this ancient town

This is the "Hidden Republic of China"

Located in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, known as China's No.1 hometown of overseas Chinese, it sits at the crossroads of the east‑west transport corridor in Guangdong, in the heart of the Guangdong‑Hong Kong‑Macao Greater Bay Area, and close to the World Heritage Site of Kaiping Diaolou and Villages

While you are young and the time is right, embark on a journey through time in this ancient town. We recommend three classic boutique hotels — Wing On / Cheong Shing / Kam Heui — and stay in a Republic of China‑style guesthouse to savour the charm of bygone days

Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town is the largest, most continuous and best‑preserved ancient qilou (arcade) building complex of its kind in China, hailed as a "stunning gallery of Sino‑Western architectural art"

Hop on the double‑decker dark green vintage tram, and weave through the streets as the bell rings

Take a 30‑minute leisurely tour of the ancient town, admire the diaolou (watchtowers) and the arcade buildings, and feel as if you have travelled back to that romantic Republican era

When you come to Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town, be sure to try the authentic local cuisine. Head to Ngau Hui Road in the scenic area and savour traditional Cantonese morning tea — become a true "morning tea connoisseur"!

Taking a boat ride and being close to nature offers a completely different experience — enjoy the sheer pleasure of gliding across the rippling emerald waters

Brew a pot of fragrant morning tea, order a few classic baskets of dim sum, and watch the boats sway and the clear waves ripple. Flowers bloom along the lakeshore, traditional buildings with grey bricks and dark tiles are reflected on the shimmering lake surface — a scene full of poetic charm

On a lazy holiday, stroll through the town and personally experience the stories of time flowing through every brick and tile

Here, you will also find the unique overseas Chinese culture. Immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of qiaoxiang (hometown of overseas Chinese) culture, with exciting performances such as Chikan dragon and lion dances and the musical fountain show — non‑stop fun from day to night
