If you want to experience the old Guangzhou charm, you must not miss the place 📍Liwan Old Town. It has both the flavor of Xiguan and the European atmosphere. Arcade old streets, Xiguan mansions, Cantonese opera art, European architecture, Lingnan cuisine, intangible cultural heritage... Even old Guangzhou locals say it's amazing! 🌈 One-day citywalk route: ✅ Morning: Xiguan Style Tour 🚶 Huangsha Metro Station—Enning Road—Zhan Tianyou's Former Residence—Yongqing Fang—Cantonese Opera Art Museum—Bruce Lee's Former Residence—Lizhiwan Creek—Liwan Museum—Liwan Lake Park—Pantang Wuyue 📍 Enning Road: Xiguan style arcade old street, with more than 200 existing arcades and historical buildings, including copper shops, antique shops, old mansions, and an intangible cultural heritage street. 📍 Cantonese Opera Art Museum: Visit Yongqing Fang, stroll through the streets, take a flower boat, check in at Moon Bridge, and watch an opera at the Cantonese Opera Museum. 📍 Liwan Lake Park: A bay of green water, with lychees red on both banks, depicting Lizhiwan Creek, known as the 'Little Qinhuai' since ancient times.

This island, once called Shicui Island, can take you back to Guangzhou a hundred years ago or to Europe thousands of miles away. Shamian has more than a hundred European-style buildings, also known as the 'European Architecture Museum', housing numerous art galleries and trendy shops. The fun of Shamian lies in aimless wandering, where you will encounter various trendy people, beautiful shops, and cool cars on the streets. Once, after having coffee, I saw a group of people admiring a Camry with a matte finish that looked very high-end. It was exactly my style, so I took a bunch of photos. With the owner's permission, I touched the new car and confirmed it wasn't a wrap; the texture was excellent. Shamian is like an endless book, with new surprises and emotions every time you open it.
