What are some of the most recommended attractions for a self-driving trip around Foshan in the spring? We recommend that you visit places like the Daowen Village in Panyu, the Kaiping Diaolou in Jiangmen, and the Yingxi Peak Forest Corridor, which are all great for self-driving tours! For detailed self-driving routes, please read below.
1、Daowen Village in Panyu
Family Fun · Known as the most beautiful ecological village, it’s perfect for family outings. This beautiful village was formed by fishermen who moved ashore from the sea, retaining the typical customs of the Tanka people. The village has a simple folk style. Among them, the fruit corridor and the water greenway are the most characteristic and should not be missed!
The Greenway is laid out around the island. Along the way, you can see the farmlands and small houses on both sides. For 20 yuan, you can take a boat for an hour. Sitting on the river, you can enjoy the breeze, fish for crabs, and relax. Most of the residents’ houses are built along the river bank, with steps leading down to the river in front of every house. You can see many things related to farming and fishing culture.

Ancient Tower Scenery · Have you seen the films “The Grandmaster” and “Let the Bullets Fly”? That’s right, the exterior scenes of both films were shot in Kaiping Diaolou!

The well-preserved diaolou are scattered among ancient forests and bamboos, blending seamlessly with the surrounding houses and natural environment.
The Kaiping Diaolou is located in a relatively remote area. There are no direct buses between the scenic spots of Liyuan, Zili Village, Majianglong Diaolou Group, Jinjiangli Diaolou Group, and Nanlou. If you can, it’s best to drive there.
