[edit] Overview

Jiangmen

Jiangmen is a prefecture-level city in Guangdong province in southern China with a population of about 3.8 million.

[edit] History

The port of Jiangmen, previously romanised as Kong-Moon, was forced to open to western trade in 1902. One legacy of this period is an historic waterfront district lined with buildings in the treaty port style. The city has an ongoing renewal project which has restored many of these buildings.

Jiangmen was proclaimed a city in 1951, and later became the administrative capital of the prefecture for the Si Yi region which includes Taishan, Kaiping, Xinhui, Enping and Heshan.

[edit] Attractions

A significant amount of historical heritage survives from the period of mass emigration prior to World War II. The most significant are the fortified multi-story towers found mainly in Kaiping. These are known as "Gold Mountain Towers" or diaolou (碉樓).

The local government's economic development strategies emphasise the development of tourism and protection of the environment.
