One-day city walk in Guangzhou, recommended European-style route

Highly recommend Jiangxi Road in the old town of Guangzhou. Here, you’ll find not only beautiful scenery but also a collection of European-style buildings. Tour route: Shamian, Renmin Bridge, Guangdong Customs, Xiti Wharf, Nanfang Building, Xinhua Hotel, Aiqun Building 1️⃣ Shamian The architectural styles here are diverse, featuring both classical European buildings and modern skyscrapers. The area is rich in cultural atmosphere with many popular photo spots—you’ll run out of storage from all the pictures! 2️⃣ Renmin Bridge On both sides of the bridge are European-style castles. You can take photos on the stairs going up and down. The view from the bridge is stunning, especially at sunset. 3️⃣ Guangdong Customs With red bricks and white stones, this vintage building is breathtaking. It’s always crowded, but still perfect for photos. The atmosphere after the lights come on at night is incredibly charming and full of vibe. 4️⃣ Nanfang Building Once Guangzhou’s department store, it is now an electronics and digital city. The exterior is simple and grand, making it one of Guangzhou’s iconic buildings. 5️⃣ Xinhua Hotel A popular photo spot is the skybridge at Xinhua Hotel. You can capture the pillars and traffic flow, and the side view of the storefront adds a high-end feel. 6️⃣ Aiqun Building Shaped like a giant ship’s wheel, it blends perfectly with the entire building. The crosswalk and passing pedestrians make it an ideal spot for street photography.
