City Overview

Jiangmen, in the western Pearl River Delta, is a famous overseas-Chinese hometown ("China’s premier qiaoxiang," with emigrants worldwide); the Kaiping Diaolou and Villages are World Heritage. Advanced manufacturing, new materials and the motorcycle industry are strong, with deep "Wuyi" culture and qiaopi (overseas-remittance) history. Cost of living and housing are low; scenic countryside makes it a livable yet industrial western-delta city.
