Practical Travel Tips
- Transport Advice: Jiangmen’s attractions are spread across a wide area, with Kaiping, Taishan, and Xinhui relatively far apart, so self-driving or hiring a car is strongly recommended. Within the city, you can take taxis or buses; for the islands, take a boat from Shanzui Port.
- Accommodation Plan: Stay in the city area, such as Pengjiang District, on the first night for convenient dining. On the second night, stay around Tangkou in Kaiping or near Chikan, which makes visiting the diaolou and ancient town the next day easier.
- Pitfall Reminders: The Kaiping Diaolou scenic area is large, so set aside at least half a day. Chikan Ancient Town is more beautiful at night, so try to enter around dusk. Summers are hot, so bring sun protection; if visiting Bird Paradise, bring mosquito repellent.
