It is the most exotic European architectural complex in Guangzhou.

💡Tips:
1️⃣ 80% of the attractions on Shamian Island are on Shamian Street. If you are short on time, you can go straight to Shamian Street when you arrive. If you have enough time, you can take the S-shaped route after arriving at the location, 🚶🏻 that is, Shamian North Street ➡️ Shamian Main Street ➡️ Shamian South Street
2️⃣The building is very distinctive, and any photo you take will be an Instagram-style blockbuster, suitable for shooting with a wide-angle lens
3️⃣Girls are suitable for taking photos in light-colored clothes. PS: White skirts and Shamian Island will collide to create beautiful sparks💥
4️⃣The recommended tour time is two hours. You can stop and walk around, find a satisfactory camera to check in and take photos; you can also visit the small shops on both sides, including coffee shops, cultural and creative stores, etc. There are many small and beautiful things in the cultural and creative store, and they are all very exquisite. (But the price is not very close, you can buy it according to your needs)
5️⃣There are also many delicious foods around. After shopping, you can go to Wu Caiji and Qiaojia Food, both of which are restaurants with old Cantonese flavors.
