Kaiping Diaolou and Villages is a UNESCO World Heritage site in Kaiping, outside Guangzhou. Its fortified village towers combine local building traditions with overseas influences. Plan this as a separate excursion with transport between the chosen villages and a confirmed return journey, rather than a stop on a Guangzhou city walk.

Opening hours

Confirmed opening hours are not available on this page. Check opening and last-entry times with the venue before setting out.

Getting there

The Guangzhou South High-Speed Railway takes about half an hour to Jiangmen city, more than an hour to Kaiping, and it takes about 2 hours to drive to Kaiping. The watchtowers are scattered, so self-driving or chartering a car is most convenient.

Practical notes

It is recommended to take out the film in soft light after 4 pm. Clues from the original notes: Note "Follow "Hurry" to Jiangmen? Please refer to the latest official announcement for opening, reservation and ticketing arrangements.
