Your tailored tour will take you to investigate the fascinating culture the province offers, including taking in the highlights of Gaungzhou with a guided tour to Shmian Island, Qing Ping and Longjin Market places, and the Ancestral Temple of the Chen Family.
After exploring Guangzhou you’ll visit Kaiping and experience the diaolou - fortified multi-story towers that were built in the 19th century to better ensure the safety of its residents during a time when many Chinese fled the region during the Opium Wars and Taiping Rebellion.
