The saying "Duanfen women are as sweet as pure water" also bears witness to the wealth of the overseas Chinese Hometowns. Duanfen Town in Taishan County, many of whose residents had gone abroad, earned the nickname of "the hometown of hometowns."
有句諺語：「端芬女、塘底水」，也是僑鄉富裕的佐證：位於台山縣境內的端芬，居民出洋眾多，有「僑鄉中的僑鄉」之稱。
