Jiangmen

Understand

Taishan, Kaiping, Enping, Xinhui, and Heshan are together known as Siyi/Sze Yup (四邑 Sìyì) or Wuyi (五邑 Wǔyì), the "four (or five) counties" that produced many emigrants who journeyed overseas to seek their fortunes in the late 1800s. Some returned, bringing newfound wealth and exotic ideas; others settled permanently, establishing some of the world's most important overseas Chinese communities. Many villages in the area had residents go off and settle abroad, and many overseas Chinese today trace their ancestry to Sze Yup, particularly in Southern Myanmar and North America.

Visiting Jiangmen, you can find monuments and museums celebrating this unique heritage, as well as beautiful residences, courtyards, and hundreds of watchtowers built with money earned overseas. Kaiping has a bunch of these well-preserved historic sites, and Taishan has its share too.
