Anyone familiar with Toisan Area 50 or Eng Sup ? Need help locating this on a map. Would like to visit my late father"s roots and hometown and any advice on when is the best time to visit and where to stay will be very much appreciated. Lee is my last name. Thank you all.

Lichenxing,
Please post the Chinese characters for the name of your ancestral village and I will try to locate it for you on a map.
China travel may be limited during 2021 - the US & China have travel bans from each other's country and I believe there is a 3 week quarantine in your hotel when you arrive in China.

Hi lichenxing:
I believe you are referring to what used to be Eng Sup/Wushi Market 五十圩. It looks like it is now located in the town of Sze Kow/Sijiu 四九镇 and is called Wushi Market Community (or Neighborhood) 五十圩社区. See the Google map: 22.218314523976666, 112.85800834891648. The map does not show Wushi, just Sijiu. There is probably a village within Wushi from which your father's family came.
As Henry says above, it is probably best to visit when travel limitations have been lifted, whenever that may be. I think most people who visit Toishan/Taishan stay in a hotel in Taicheng Subdistrict 台城街道, the capital of Taishan. Remember that the hotels are decent but may not have the quality you expect from American hotels. Many years ago, I stayed in the Taishan Garden Hotel 台山园林酒店. It is still there.

Hi lichenxing:
My China Workshop is set for November 2021, however, I do not know if the travel restrictions will be lifted. I escort a group of about 50 American Born Chinese seniors to China. We tour historical places, and actually visit the ancestral villages. If you are interested in attending, please email me at: "Tomclan@Gmail.com"
