Day 4：Chikan Ancient Town 赤坎古鎮(zhèn)

Chikan was first built more than 350 years ago as a wharf on the Tan River by early local overseas Chinese, who brought back Western architectural styles and combined them with local traditional features. That is why people who visit Chikan feel like they have been transported back in time, to an exotic place that could almost be oceans away.

Transport: take a train or coach to Kaiping County first and then take a bus to Chikan Town
