China Heritage: Overseas Chinese Towns - Tai Shan & Kai Ping
Visit the UNESCO-listed Kai Ping Diao dou (開平碉樓) and the beautiful spots like Mei's Grand Courtyard (梅家大院) in the historic towns in Taishan (台山) in Southern China!
Many people in the once-underprivileged region were sold to foreign country, particularly America, for gold rush. They later brought back their wealth to their hometown and converted them into gorgeous western-influenced towns that remain until today even though they appear to be partly abandoned since 1940s. Towns like Tai Shan and Kai Ping has the finest surviving examples of western-influenced pre-war Chinese tenement, which was once common in Hong Kong.
