Sha Mian: Guangzhou’s European-Style Retreat

Wander through Sha Mian, an island where Guangzhou’s colonial past comes alive. With lush tree-lined boulevards and European-style architecture, this former foreign concession feels like a step into another era. The stunning Our Lady of Lourdes Church, built in 1892, stands as a serene landmark amid the island’s historic charm. Take a leisurely walk along the scenic riverfront, sip coffee at a quaint café, and admire the iconic bronze statues that tell tales of the past. Whether you’re exploring by day or basking in the golden hour glow, Sha Mian offers a peaceful yet picturesque escape. #chinatrip
