The Village of Zili

     Zili Village is basically a cluster village within the Kaiping Diaolou range of World Heritage Sites. The Zili Cluster village contains scattered towers and is situated deep in the countryside. The entire Kaiping Diaolou range are situated near the city of Kaiping in Guangdong Province of China. Zili has the largest collection of Diaolou and is only 11 kilometres from downtown Kaiping.
  What was different about Zili was that it has a setting amongst gorgeous Paddy Rice Fields. Zili Village has more Kaiping Diaolou than any other in the series and indeed there are fifteen towers here. Mingshi Lou is the tallest one and therefore offers the best views. It was built in 1925.The top floor offers great views and there is a hexagonal pavilion which has influence from European and Chinese architecture.Yesheng Julu were built by the Fang clan, who left China to make their money in Malaya and Chicago before returning to Guangdong to construct these buildings. Yunhuan Lou is translated as “mist and mirage” and it is the more isolated one.
