How come I don’t count my trip to Europe when I arrived in Guangzhou?

📍Location: Shamian Island 🚏Location: No. 52, Shamian South Street, Liwan District, Guangzhou 🚇Transportation: Exit E of Huangsha Station on Line 1/6 (10 minutes walk from the station) 🎫Tickets: Free (no reservation required) ⛲️Attraction level: AAA 📒Shamian Island is known as the "open-air museum". It was originally a fishermen's settlement. After the Second Crow, the construction of the concession was officially started. There are more than 150 European-style buildings, including neo-baroque, pseudo-Gothic, arcade, neoclassical and a combination of Chinese and Western styles. It is the most exotic European architectural complex in Guangzhou. 📒The important attractions from east to west are the former site of the Customs House, Guangdong Foreign Affairs Museum, British Ice Factory, Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic Church, British Consulate, HSBC Bank, Shamian Synagogue (one of the must-see attractions for wedding photos💖), Soviet Consulate, etc. 💡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. #Guangzhou Attractions
