Shamian Island Review

The interpreter explained in detail, comprehensive knowledge, and serious work. The historical sense of architecture in each period is rich, which is the epitome of China's modern history and loan history. Suitable for Wenqing and photography lovers, especially in the afternoon.

Very nice place to visit. Island is not that big, you can take a walk around the whole island in 1-2h.  Island is totally looking different from the rest of the city. A piece of Europe. This place is really a quiet escape from the urban overcrowded Guangzhou city streets. Enjoy. 

It is a public park and a street where locals can enjoy the view. Also, there are sculptures that show’s culture and history.

Popular attractions, there is a traffic jam outside, there is generally no car willing to drive in, walking about one kilometer from the Sacred Heart Cathedral. There are exotic buildings inside, there are churches, and there are some food and drink. The famous White Swan Hotel is here. The volunteer service station is very good, next to the Pearl River, the staff is very warm, and there are pamphlets

Concentrate foreign culture in one, the architectural style is unique and full of charm. The tour guide explained vividly and meticulously, the environment is beautiful, and the overall is very good 👍

Shamian once called Shicuizhou, because it is a sandbar formed by the Pearl River, so it is called Shamian. Shamian is located in the southwest of Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province, on the south side of the Pearl River Baietan, across the north from Shaji Yong, and a small island facing Liu'er 3rd Road. There are eight streets and alleys, with an area of 0.3 square kilometers. Shamian was a major tourist destination for business in China and abroad during the Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing periods. After the Opium War, it became a concession of Britain and France after 11 years (1861). Shamian is an important business district in Guangzhou. After a hundred years, more than ten countries have established consulates in Shamian, nine foreign banks, more than 40 foreign banks operate in Shamian, and Guangdong Customs Club, Guangzhou Club, etc. have been established in Shamian. Shamian witnessed the changes in modern history of Guangzhou, leaving behind the footprints of great people such as Mr. Sun Yat-sen and Premier Zhou Enlai. Shamian has become the epitome of modern history and concession history in China. The European style building on Shamian Island has formed a unique open-air building "museum".
