Overview

Kaiping and Taishan are well known as the hometown of overseas Chinese in Southern China. Diaolou structures were built from the time of the Ming Dynasty to the early 20th century, reaching a peak in the 1920s and 1930s, with the financial aid of overseas Cantonese, when there were more than three thousand of these structures. Today, approximately 1800 Diaolous remain standing in Kaiping, and approximately 500 in Taishan. Today few of these villages and Diaolous have been recently restored, and some of them became quite a famous tourist destination as Li Yuan garden, Zilicun, Majanlong in Kaiping. But we will take you to the unexplored village and visit their original diaolous.

The Diaolou in Kaiping city has been turned into a tourist location heavily since it became a UNESCO site. The Diaolous were no different than the ones you see on the side of roads in Kaiping and Taishan regions, but they were better maintained. If you would like to visit the better-maintained Diaolou in Kaiping, please let us know, we also can arrange it or have a mixture of both.
