This is a lovely place to visit different than other places in GZ. Old style buildings lovely gardens and statues. Very relaxing place to visit. When you are in this area worth going to the fish markets a real eye opener. Interesting to see all the things they sell.

This is my first time been this place. Different environment than other GZ place. Old style European building, church... you can imagine long time ago only foreigners and rich people can stay there. What a lovely place. Look like Macau street.

Colonial style houses, tree-shaded streets and a nice park and interesting history were features of Shamian Island. We took the metro to Huangsha station then asked locals for directions. We had a nice lunch at Lucy's restaurant in the park.

This is the place you can see 1-2 times, sit...

We caught the metro from Tianhe (Y4 each way) and alighted about a block from the island. Shamian Island is an interesting historical place to walk around. Great history with good interpretive singnage- most include English. Historic buildings of various styles influenced by different nationalities and lovely garden walk ways.
You can also walk around the island along the Pearl...

One of the must go in a recreation trip in Guangzhou. You can take one or two hours in the island if you are on a business trip and still have some time to visit the city.
