Doumen Old Street is a Lingnan qilou (arcade) street formed in the mid-Qing dynasty, with rows of Nanyang-style facades and old shop signs still faintly discernible; Jiexia Village is a Qing-dynasty manor-style village whose residents are descendants of the Zhao clan of the Southern Song imperial family. The protective moat and stone-paved lanes survive intact, and the village's pedigree as a "village of Southern Song imperial descendants" is truly remarkable. The two sites are close together and form the backbone of a cultural day trip in western Zhuhai.
Getting there: In Doumen by self-drive / bus
