After visiting Dongshankou 44 times, I've put together this amazing and photogenic treasure route
Xiamen has 'Gulangyu',
Qingdao has 'Longjiang Road',
and Guangzhou has 'Dongshankou'.
In Guangzhou, there is a City walk route in Dongshankou that is a holy land for trendy people,

and also a trendy spot in the city,
most of Dongshankou is filled with Republic of China-style Western buildings,
which are both retro and artistic.
The neighborhood hides many treasure stores, unique boutiques,
art spaces, trendy buyer's shops, and specialty coffee and drink stores.
You can spend half a day at Dongshankou, walking, looking around, and taking photos,
there are many old trees here,
in spring, the green plant walls on the roadside are full of bougainvillea,
in summer, the frangipani in front of the villas also wafts a faint fragrance from time to time.
On a sunny day, the Dongshankou neighborhood under the blue sky and white clouds has a Studio Ghibli anime vibe,
and it's super photogenic.
If you avoid the weekends, there are fewer people around,
and it's really peaceful to walk on the streets.
