THE DIASPORA COAST
Guangzhou · Kaiping · Foshan · Shenzhen · Chaozhou · Shantou · Xiamen — 15 nights
What Awaits You
From the colonial arcades of Guangzhou to the piano villas of Xiamen. Walk the watchtowers of Kaiping, eat the food that built Southeast Asia, and trace the Teochew coast through Chaozhou and Shantou before the sea opens at Xiamen. This is the China that emigration built — and the China that tourism forgot.
Who It’s For
Travellers drawn to cultural depth over ticked landmarks. People with a connection to the southern Chinese diaspora — or who simply want to understand why the food, the architecture, and the ambition of Southeast Asia looks the way it does. The route for people who want to go somewhere China tourism hasn’t reached yet.
