Kaiping is a unique historical gem located less than two hours south of Guangzhou that we highly recommend.The Kaiping diaolou,dubbed a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2007,are beautiful fortified towers built at the end of the Qing Dynasty and into the 1930s.The buildings highlight a blend of Chinese and Western architecture that rose from wealth being sent home from overseas Chinese and the need for increased fortifications to defend ancestral villages from ethnic battles and raiding bandits.On a recent visit to this beautiful area of the countryside,we sat down with Rocky Deng,owner of TK Space in Tangkou,to talk about his project,which has become much more than just an accommodation.
