It’s not in Europe, it’s Guangzhou!

Shamian Island in Guangzhou truly feels like a little piece of Europe.
Colonial mansions built in European style still stand here — something entirely uncharacteristic for a typical southern Chinese city. Narrow streets are shaded by lush greenery, lined with historic buildings and cozy cafés.
Despite its small size, Shamian remains a unique place — a reminder of Guangzhou’s complex, multilayered past and a living monument to its colonial era. It’s a perfect spot for a slow, peaceful walk. In fact, this is a great place to start your exploration of Guangzhou.

🚇How to get there:
Cultural Park subway station, Exit A
