Chikan Ancient Town Jinxu Hotel Balcony King/Twin Room (Double Breakfast + Tram Ticket + 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 port and market town, and retains more than 600 arcaded buildings (qilou).

Step from the modern city into the "Nanyang Republic of China era" and explore the stories hidden within the ancient town's architecture.

This is the "Hidden Republic of China era".

Located in Jiangmen City, Guangdong Province, hailed as China's No.1 hometown of overseas Chinese, it sits on the key transport corridor between the east and west of Guangdong, in the heart of the Greater Bay Area, and close to the UNESCO World Heritage site of Kaiping Diaolou and Villages.

Seize the moment while you are still young and carefree, and step into the ancient town for a journey through time. We recommend the three classic boutique hotels: Rong'an / Changsheng / Jinxu. Stay in a Republic of China‑style guesthouse and savour the charm of bygone days.

△ King‑size bed in Zone B / Twin beds in Zone B at Jinxu. Chikan Overseas Chinese Ancient Town is the largest, most continuous and best‑preserved cluster of overseas Chinese arcaded buildings in the country, hailed as a "breathtaking corridor of Sino‑Western architectural art".

Hop on the double‑decker dark‑green vintage tram and weave through the streets to the ring of its bell.

Take a 30‑minute tour of the ancient town, admire the diaolou watchtowers and the qilou arcades, and feel as if you have 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 Niu Xu Road in the scenic area and savour traditional Cantonese morning tea ‑ live like a true local "yum cha regular".

Boarding a boat and being amid nature offers a different kind of pleasure ‑ enjoy the sheer delight of cruising on 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 clear ripples. Flowers bloom along the lakeshore, and the traditional blue‑brick, grey‑tile buildings are reflected in the glistening water ‑ 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 a distinctive overseas Chinese culture. Immerse yourself in the authentic atmosphere of the qiaoxiang (hometown of overseas Chinese). Enjoy a variety of wonderful performances from day to night, including Chikan dragon and lion dances, the musical fountain show and more: The Awakening Lion Youth
