🏯 Diaolou at Zhili Village: Towering Echoes of the Past 🏞️

#chinatravel

Tucked amidst rice fields and swaying palms, Zhili Village in Kaiping is home to some of the region’s most atmospheric diaolou—fortified watchtowers that whisper stories of overseas Chinese dreams and resilience. These multi-storey towers, blending Western and Chinese architectural elements, once served as homes and protection against bandits. Wander through time as you explore the peaceful village lanes, marvel at fading murals, and climb up the towers for sweeping countryside views. Zhili offers a quiet charm that history lovers and culture seekers will treasure.
