Speaking of Guangzhou, in addition to the bustling Tianhe City and the historic Shangxiajiu, this time I discovered an old district that is super worth taking pictures, niche and tasteful - Dongshankou! There are a large number of antique red brick houses here, one scene at a time, every few steps you will see a different story, leisurely and leisurely, it is the first choice place to take pictures, slow walk, feel the old city's literary and artistic atmosphere in Guangzhou! 🌳 Trip Highlights: - Multiple eras intertwined, European style red brick houses, retro + modern mix & match - Hidden numerous boutique coffee shops, craft shops, independent bookstores, hipster photo paradise - The streets and alleys retain a large number of local Guangzhou old shops, authentic food 📍 Attraction recommendation inventory Stop 1: Red brick western-style building in Dongshankou Walking to Higashiyama Pass was healing and kind of like strolling through a European town! Along Zhongshan Road, you can encounter a century-old red-brick building, a courtyard with shadows of trees, and traces of the years on the outer wall of the hall. The most relaxing thing is to take a photo under the tree, the red bricks and green trees reflect each other, and any one is a retro blockbuster. Second stop: hipster shop tour There are many independent cafes and handmade shops near the East Pass, where you can find an afternoon to sit by the window and enjoy coffee while looking at the street view. Some old houses have been converted into bookstores and selection shops, which are perfect for those of you who like to explore and collect small items. Third stop: authentic food If you are tired of walking, you can try the nearby Cantonese-style morning tea. An old-fashioned teahouse is hidden in a street alley. Order some shrimp dumplings and siu-mai, which is super local. There are also two-dish rice and sweet soup shops to kill one's slow time. 📝 Practical information - Address: Near Zhongshan 1st Road, Yuexiu District, Guangzhou - Opening hours: Open all day year round, the western house under the lights at night is especially romantic! - Suggestion: Do not deliberately chase time, slow walking most enjoyable, if you take pictures remember to choose morning or dusk, light and shadow are the best! 🍽 Food tips - Recommend a popular two-dish rice restaurant: Grandma's Two-dish Rice (5 minutes walk from Higashiyamaguchi Station, cheap and delicious) - Cafe: There is a "light and shadow coffee" at the entrance of the alley, the upstairs floor-to-ceiling windows are extremely beautiful, recommend latte 🚇 Transportation guide - Take the subway to Higashiyamaguchi Station Exit B, exit the station! - Nearby bus stop: Zhongshan 1st Road Station 🏷️ Tip Review My own deepest feeling is that this place really has a sense of traveling through time and space, red brick houses, old trees, slow life, suitable for you who want to get away from the hustle and bustle, like the old city atmosphere and slow-paced travel. You don't have to be afraid of crowds when taking photos. You can slowly find the right angle for yourself, and it's a literary and artistic blockbuster! #Guangzhou Old Town #Dongshankou Slow Walk #Red Brick Western Building Photography #Guangzhou Hipster Daily #City Shopping
