Shamian Island Guangzhou

Shamian Island is one of the most charming tourist destinations in Guangzhou, known for its unique blend of European architecture in China. Originally a leased area for the British and French during the 19th to early 20th century, the island features over 150 old buildings in Neo-Classical, Baroque, and Gothic Revival styles. Today, it has transformed into a peaceful pedestrian area with coffee shops, museums, and boutique hotels. Its serene and classic atmosphere attracts both locals and tourists who come to stroll, take photos, or enjoy a slow-paced lifestyle.
