自力村碉樓將中國傳統鄉村建築文化與西方建築文化巧妙地融合在一起，罕有地體現了近代中西文化在中國鄉村的廣泛交流，成為中國華僑文化的紀念豐碑和獨特的世界建築藝術景觀。樓內儲存著完整的傢俱、生活設施、生產用具和日常生活用品，豐富而有趣，是當時華僑文化與生活的見證。 自力村的人旅居海外一個帶一個，旅外者眾。他們賺了錢，便紛紛回來購田置業，爾後又返回國外，如此迴圈往復。 二十世紀20年代間，因土匪猖獗、洪澇頻繁等原因，僑胞便陸續興建了15座能居能守的碉樓。碉樓和居廬一般以始建人的名字或其意願而命名。 這些碉樓均是鐵門、鐵窗，遍佈槍眼，配備了槍械、銅鑼、探照燈，儲存了大量的糧食，一旦有賊匪入侵，村民便躲進樓內與之抗衡，令賊匪望樓興嘆，無功而返。

有這麼一個地方，在一片廣闊的農田、碧綠的竹林深處，一幢幢歐陸式的碉樓突兀地聳立其間，在落日餘暉處，無言地訴說著那些關於繁華、滄桑和奮鬥的故事。這個地方就是開平，這裡的古建築雖然特別殘破，卻有妙不可言的神韻隱約地呈現，為昔日華僑的生活方式作著佐證，形成了極富有異國田園風情的地方，那田園詩般的自然景觀，加上人為建築的精湛技藝，吸引著越來越多的人尋找著心目中的種種想象。 立園是一傢俬家園林，是旅美華僑謝維立先生歷時十年建造，於民國25年（1936年）初步建成的。

多部電影的外景地赤坎鎮。赤坎鎮是個古鎮，頗有嶺南特色風格。潭江橫貫全鎮，赤坎沿潭江而建，南岸是鄉村，北岸是市鎮，清一色的騎樓，龐大的洋樓群，譜寫了這座頗具深厚文化底蘊的古鎮。 古鎮沿河而建，整排的騎樓在綠水中印出了倒影。雖是陰天，配著這歷史悠久的騎樓，倒也是有韻味。古鎮騎樓一側都是些小商鋪，賣著些赤坎特產。沿河邊，當地的居民們晒著大片大片的橘子皮，晒幹後的橘子皮可用來泡茶，清痰潤肺。 古鎮的盡頭是三家巷影視城，古鎮本身不收費，但是如果要去景點，需要另外加收門票，還能去到旁邊的景輝樓。

立園是一個獨立的園林，是旅美華僑謝維立先生歷時十年建造的別墅花園，在我的印象中這麼大的園子一般應該是皇帝賞的，但是這裡……就是人家自己建起來的，太……有錢了。 立園園內分大花園、小花園和別墅區三部分，彼此以人工河或圍牆分隔，又用橋亭和迴廊連成一體，園中有園，景中有景。別墅區有泮文、泮立等六幢別墅和碉樓一座，中西合壁，氣勢恢巨集；室內裝飾和擺設，豐富豪華典雅。以《紅樓夢》中描繪的大觀園為依託，對 中國 園林古典建築藝術兼收幷蓄，並對歐美當時流行的別墅建築特色加以融會貫通，達到中西合璧之化境，從而擁有“小觀園”的美譽。剛進門的地方是 開平 碉樓群博物館，在這個博物館中，我們可以看到 開平 幾乎所有的碉樓歷史，以及立園的形成歷史。還是很值得看一看 再往前走有碉樓的微雕景觀，做得非常建築，長期置於室外也產生了斑駁的效果，一扇一扇的小鐵窗特別可愛，仔細一看門口的階梯和裡麵的樓梯都做出來啦，真是巧奪天工！ 再往前走就進入別墅區。別墅區裡有別墅六幢

江門華僑眾多，但建築最有特色的肯定是開平。 位於塘口鎮的自力村是開平碉樓群較有代表性的一處。 幾年前，大導演姜文的高票房電影《讓子彈飛》大大提高了自力村的知名度，不少外地遊客更因電影而慕名前來遊覽。 自力村大有來頭。 據說立村之初，整條村只有民居兩間，後來發展到63戶人家，華僑和港澳同胞超過了常住人口，各式碉樓的主人和後代散居於美加、英國和東南亞等地。 自力村和很多開平村落一樣地勢低窪，洪澇災害頻繁；另外，在過去很長時間裡村裡因為留守男人稀少，導致土匪猖獗，“碉樓”是當地人智慧的發明。這種特色建築帶有濃郁的西洋風格，同時保留中式建築的一些細節，巧妙之處是建樓者多考慮防洪防盜防匪功能，比如每層樓都留有槍眼，只要不法之徒近樓，便從槍眼發射或投擲鵝卵石、鹼水、水槍等東西驅趕敵人。 自力村保留很多年代久遠的碉樓“豪宅”，如龍勝樓、養閒別墅、球安居廬、雲幻樓、居安樓、耀光別墅、竹林樓、振安樓、安廬、逸農樓、葉生居廬、官生居廬、瀾生居廬、湛廬等。“豪宅”中的豪宅當數銘石樓，該樓在電影《讓子彈飛》中是周潤發的“家”，也是《讓子彈飛》各特色建築的顏值擔當。
