My friends thought I had gone abroad, but I'm just in Guangzhou

Guangzhou, Shamian Island. It is a sandbar formed by the Pearl River, hence the name Shamian. In the early days, Shamian was an important port in Guangzhou. Over the centuries, more than a dozen countries have set up consulates on Shamian, nine foreign banks, more than forty foreign firms operated on Shamian, and institutions like the Guangdong Customs Clubhouse, Guangzhou Club were established on Shamian. With the changes in modern history, Shamian has become a microcosm of China's modern history and the history of concessions. The European-style buildings on Shamian Island have formed a unique open-air architectural 'museum'. Surrounded by ancient trees, shaded by green trees, and filled with the fragrance of flowers🌸 The sun dances between the leaves, and from time to time you can hear the chirping of birds🕊 Wandering among these colorful ancient buildings🏰 Everywhere is a beautiful scenery, free and comfortable, lazy and casual. Every day there are many photography enthusiasts checking in📸 Artistic small shops, cafes☕️, French restaurants🍽 Guangzhou is in a hurry, Shamian is leisurely. Experience the unique Cantonese romance!💕
