Why Jiangmen
Jiangmen is a prefecture-level city situated along the lower reaches of the Xi and Tan Rivers in the western Pearl River Delta of Guangdong Province, southern China. Bordered by the South China Sea to the south, the city covers 9,535 square kilometers roughly 100 kilometers from Guangzhou and Zhuhai. Its municipal territory encompasses the three central urban districts of Pengjiang, Jianghai, and Xinhui, alongside Heshan and the rural Siyi region, which comprises Taishan, Kaiping, Enping, and Xinhui.
Recognized as the ancestral homeland of approximately four million overseas Chinese, Jiangmen possesses deep historical ties to international migration. Following its designation as a treaty port in 1904, returning overseas merchants constructed notable waterfront architecture blending Western and local styles, particularly in areas such as Chikan. Cultural heritage remains vibrant across the region's towns and villages, where residents speak Siyi Yue dialects and celebrate traditional events like the water dragon dance during the Pan Village Lantern Festival in Shuikou Town, Kaiping.
Visitors to Jiangmen can explore a wide variety of cultural, historical, and natural landmarks across its administrative divisions. Among the most prominent architectural features are the fortified multi-story towers, known locally as diaolou or Gold Mountain Towers, found mainly in Kaiping. Nature enthusiasts can visit Guifeng Mountain, which stands as the city's highest peak at 545 meters above sea level, or experience the traditional canal settings of Gulao water town. Additionally, the region utilizes its natural heated groundwater to power geothermal destinations such as the Gudou Hotspring Resort, while historical sites include the Jingtang Library, established in 1925.
Jiangmen features a subtropical monsoon climate with an annual average temperature of 22.36 °C. The city is reachable via an extensive regional transport network composed of major expressways and modern rail connections. Direct train services from Jiangmen railway station connect the city to Guangzhou South railway station and destinations as far as Shanghai.
