Kaiping's Diaolou Towers & Rural Guangdong Charm

In this video, we hop on a high-speed train from Guangzhou to Kaiping — a lesser-known gem tucked away in southern China. Our journey takes us through an ancient town filled with history and character, before exploring the legendary Kaiping Diaolous — mysterious multi-storey watchtowers built to protect local families. From beautiful old architecture to raw, rural charm, this part of Rural China is unlike anything we've experienced before. If you're looking for hidden gems in China or want to see the real Cantonese countryside, this one's for you.
