karen75 Says: Visited my mother's village which is in an area called Bai He. The picture shows the name of the bridge that leads to my mother's village.
karen75 Says: A picture of the Ever Joint Hotel and the Bank of China building on the other side of the river from where my Grandparent's live. Apparently the Ever Joint Hotel (pretty bad name for a hotel !) is a five star hotel in Kaiping. Living in North America, I can't say I would...
karen75 Says: The Glass Boat isn't a real boat. It's a restaurant where we went to eat just about every single day we were in Chang Sha. The food is pretty good and the prices are really cheap (if you're not from China). I think for the locals, it's probably a bit pricey. I had the plate...
Kaiping Says: Kaiping is a relatively boring city but one of the great things to do is just having a nice massage. I would recommend foot massage which is really cheap about $50rmb for two hours. Its great to have when you have wander all day and your feet is tired. A body massage will...
Kaiping Says: There is a movie set in the small town of chikan which is about 15 minutes taxi ride from the main city of Kaiping. Admission is about $30rmb. It is a nice place to visit if you are in the area and especially since there is not much to do in Kaiping. Various movies have used...
karen75 Says: My dad came to this park almost every day at 3 pm because that's when they had free Chinese Opera Concerts. Lots of the locals hang out here with their friends - mainly the elderly. They come here to hang out and gamble / play dominos and other games. It's a great place to...
Map of Kaiping at Liyuan Gardens
karen75 Says: It's rare to find a good map of Kaiping that shows the names of the villages in Chinese and English. I found this map in one of the buildings at Liyuan Gardens. This particular building has articles and pictures that talk about the history of the watchtowers in Kaiping.
karen75 Says: Here is a view of my dad's village from the back. Where it's green, there used to be a lake over forty years ago.
karen75 Says: This is a picture of my mother's old house. My mom was actually born in this house and lived here for a few years before moving close to Chang Sha, then Kowloon, HK and then Canada.

Phoenix club and China City: Nightclub
Kaiping Says: There are two large nightclubs at Kaiping. Both are massive with large dance floors and many private karaoke rooms. The largest private room can accommodate over 30 people sitting with large screen tv's and a large selection of song both in English and Chinese. The price is...
Kaiping Says: There is a street in the main island of Kaiping filled with bars. I had the chance to visit the area but due to arriving late couldn't find any seats at the bars. I went to 4 different locations and all of them were packed. The atmosphere was great inside and many types of...
karen75 Says: You can reach Kaiping by bus from Mong Kok in Kowloon, Hong Kong. Bus tickets can be purchased by the Prince Edward MTR Station and the bus pick up location is just outside of the Metropark Hotel Mongkok (Former Hotel Concourse)Metropark Hotel Mongkok (Former Hotel...
johnmperry Says: The first afternoon we took a taxi to one of the villages, and he waited for us. This was quite an expensive way of doing things. Agreed price was meter plus 100, so it came to 250 (RMB) altogether.I don't recommend you do that!
Kaiping Says: I will always take the taxi to go around places because of the relative cheap price. Within the city limit you will not spend over $30rmb to go anywhere. Another alternative if your in a hurry or want to save a little money is to ride the motorbikes for at least half the...
The city of Kaiping have three different Chinese Dialect frequently used. There is Cantonese, the local Kaiping dialect and Mandarin. The locals can usually speak with all three while most workers in restaurants will speak only Mandarin. English is unknown to most people and only a few hotel staff may know.

karen75 Says: Do not keep money in outer pockets since there people who pick pockets. My Great Uncle was apparently targeted. He had no clue what had happened until some people came up to him and told him. Luckily for him, he had no money in his pockets so the pick pockets ended up with...
Kaiping Says: I have never experience any dangers in Kaiping when I was there but you should still be advice to be careful. I would recommend not be too flashy with your wealth because it can attract unwanted attention. I also recommend carry money in the front pocket because it would be...
There are a few hot springs in the neighboring district of Enping. I visited one and it was a great experience. You can take a taxi or hire a personal driver to any of those locations. I would advice negociating the price first and asking the driver to wait outside of the resort for the return trip. The price should be around $200-300rmb(around $20-40usd) for the ride but that is just an estimate.

Favorite thing: Walk around and feel the environment. Feel the silence, smell the grass, discover the fortress which tell you the story of the past.
