World Heritage Tour-Kaiping Diaolou and Village

Travel Guide

Introduction

Let the Bullets Fly reminds people of Huang Shirang's mansion, which is located in Kaiping Diaolou, Guangdong Province. On June 28th, 27, "Kaiping Diaolou and Village" was officially listed in the World Heritage List, becoming the first world heritage in Guangdong Province and the 35th world heritage in China. The first world heritage project of overseas Chinese culture was born in China. Kaiping is a famous hometown of overseas Chinese, so it has these precious cultural heritages. There were more than 3,4 watchtowers in its heyday, and more than 1,8 have been preserved at present. The reason for the rise of watchtowers is the testimony of overseas Chinese who went to the ocean in those years and returned to their hometown. Nowadays, when walking in Kaiping, towers are scattered in the fields of villages and towns, just like pearls scattered all over the place, which are precious, magnificent or gorgeous ...
