Shipping to Jiangmen
Jiangmen, in the western Pearl River Delta of Guangdong, is known as the home town of overseas Chinese: many Chinese-Canadian families have their roots in its districts of Taishan, Kaiping and Xinhui. Its river ports handle cargo for the area.
Practical tips. Jiangmen is a natural destination for gifts and goods sent by families in Canada to relatives in Taishan and Kaiping, and for commercial shipments to local factories. Personal effects need carrier approval and a resident consignee; keep declared values realistic.
Taishan's diaspora links with Canada go back to the 19th-century railway workers, and many families still send parcels and support home. Jiangmen is about 100 km from Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and new bridges and expressways make road delivery across the delta quick.
Kaiping's diaolou towers are a UNESCO site.
