Xinhui is one of the most beautiful areas of Guangdong Province and all of China. The sea protects it from the storms hitting Guangzhou and Hong Kong. The warm climate is tropical most of the year. The people are so friendly to foreigners that I felt at home.
I hiked the mountain for several hours and never saw another person. Best kept secret to a country with a billion+ people.
Take the ferry from Hong Kong to Jiangmen and a taxi south. OR the new fast train from Guangzhou and taxi south.
2. Wuyi Huaqiao Museum

The museum has three floors, well laid out into 6 themes: Jinshan dream, overseas business, and loyalty to nation, hometown rise, and hometown new chapter, the life of overseas Chinese. They are telling the stories of Wuyi Overseas Chinese history and culture. It was sad to see their treatment from the foreigners in a foreign land. Lots of North American Rail Roads were built by them. Lots of them died in the foreign country, only a few saved up some money and went back to their motherland and family (One display show an old man meet his long yearning family for the first time after all the years that he been away.). Their faces are still vividly in my mind. We went to visit this museum on May 1st, China's National holiday. But no one was there. I guess lots of people went to the car show next door.
Happy Travelling!
3. Cha'an Temple

Close to city with fresh air and nice walking paths (stairs). It's good exercise to walk whole way to the temple. Admission fee was 5RMB and walk made us sweating. Take you own towel, water bottle and snacks with you. There is no sellers on the way. But temple's small shops have nice gifts on reasonable price (even for tourists), no bargain.
4. Bird Paradise

The famous Bird's Paradise is located in the southern part of Xinhui. Actually, the so-called bird's paradise is a 380-year-old great banyan covering an area of about 2.5 acres. The pure ecological environment has attracted thousands of birds living there.
Although, not many birds to see in November.
The little boat is quaint and charming and takes you on a relaxing trip meandering through the banyans and wetlands. Very well kept landscaping.
All in all, worth a quick look.
5. Gudoushan Hot Spring Resort

Reviewed By Minna B - Sweden
Very Chinese place with worn out look but comfortable baths and pools as well as good saunas. Outside the spa is villa area with several undone or bit worn holiday houses. But I need to admit that some of those are fair looking, too. It was not peak season when I visited the place, so it was not packed with people and we had plenty of space to move around.
6. Changdi Scenary Street

Reviewed By DerringW33 - Frisco, Texas
I went with high hopes, but the older district just behind Changdi street was WAY more interesting. There is a large historic district with markets, winding streets, old brick buildings, just what you would imagine in a historic Chinese city. Changdi was nice, I just appreciated the residential streets more.
7. Baishuidai Park

Nice place with wide roads/paths. It's very popular place and there is lot of people every evening (even in the mornings) who take their evening walk after dinner. You can climb up from other side of the hill and walk down to other. There are large parking places but still those are packed with cars. Take your own water bottle and towel.
8. Chen Baisha Shrine
Overall Ratings
4 based on 6 reviews
Reviewed By esp160 - San Pedro Sula
Was nearly empty when I visited, which allowed me to enjoy the site. The shrine was quite a pleasant surprise, as these type of historical sites seem to be very rare within the actual city limits of Jiangmen. In addition to the shrine there was also a pleasant walk with a long winding mural (of Chen Baisha's life I assume) and a view into the living quarters of the time period. Very interesting. Information was mostly in Chinese, with one exhibit being bilingual in Chinese and some language written in Arabic script (possibly Uighur?). No English in this section which was a shame.
9. Xinhui Museum
10. Cha'an Park
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 2 reviews
Reviewed By Matt T - Jiangmen, China
This is a restored Ming Dynasty temple complex/monastery well worth a few hours visit. Admission is free. It is on a small hill with nice trails around it that connect to Baishuidai park. the temples are being restored and give the visitor a feel of what it may have been like centuries ago.... The giant many headed Buddha, the carved stonework, the restored paintings on the covered stairway are all quite splendid. Despite the urban sprawl now arriving at its doorstep, this complex is rarely visited and is well worth a few hours visit.
