Starlight Park primarily showcases the charm of Jiangmen Wuyi-born singers, actors, and film stars through three formats: handprints, sculptures, and celebrity walls. As a theme park, it offers more diverse display methods compared to the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the United States and the Avenue of Stars in Hong Kong, with a more humanized and interactive design. Then visit the century-old shop 【Jiangmen Sanhengwa Cutlery Factory】 (approx. 30-minute visit) to see the knife production line: knives are made from new-type black steel, known for their excellent quality, hardness, sharpness, and wear resistance. Next, head to 【the “Guifeng Chun” Temple Fair】 (approx. 40-minute tour), where several locations including Yuhu Square, Yutai Square, Kui Expo Garden, and Chenguang Pavilion bring together a variety of festive events such as renowned folk acrobatics, local cultural performances, intangible cultural heritage displays, and food carnivals. There’s no shortage of highlights.
Afterward, go to 【Xinhui Tangerine Peel Hall】 (approx. 30-minute visit), where you can freely sample a series of preserved fruit snacks and shop for Xinhui tangerine peel, A'tuo moldy ginger, Dayou preserved fruits, Hetang pickled vegetables, nine-process tangerine peel, and tangerine peel plums. Enjoy a lunch featuring donkey meat cuisine. Then visit 【Health Thousand Treasures Hall】 (approx. 30-minute visit): enjoy a free taste of dampness-expelling soup on-site. The hall mainly sells snake oil, snake ointment, and rheumatism relief oil. Next, go to 【Yangtao Garden】 (approx. 30-minute stay). The yangtao (kiwi fruit) here is rich in nutrition, known to stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen, nourish deficiency, improve intelligence, and nourish blood for better sleep—truly mouthwatering. Visitors can pick and eat as much as they like under the arrangement of the garden owner, with additional charges for taking fruit away.
Then proceed to Kaiping, the “Capital of Watchtowers,” to the travel frontier destination — 【Canada Village】 (approx. 45-minute tour). Originally named Yaohua Fang and under the administration of the Lingyuan Village Committee in Chikan Town, it was funded and built by overseas Chinese who had returned from Canada, hence the name. The village layout was planned by a renowned Canadian architect. It features 10 ancient residences and 1 watchtower, most built in the 1920s and 1930s. These buildings blend Chinese and Western styles, incorporating traditional Chinese grey sculpture, Roman columns, round arches, and carved floral designs—absolutely breathtaking.
Finally, visit the 【"The Grandmaster" Film Location Base】 (approx. 30-minute tour), the filming site for Tony Leung Chiu-wai’s “The Grandmaster.” Here you’ll find arcaded buildings full of subtropical charm and Western flair, where Kaiping’s local culture and Western influences collide and settle, creating a place of diverse allure. The ancient town of Chikan was once a filming location for the Hong Kong movie “Drunken Master II,” CCTV’s “The Story of Hong Kong,” and the first stop for Phoenix TV’s “In Search of the Fading Homeland.” The TV series “Stormy Xi Guan” was also filmed here.
