What travelers are saying
- geo3Calgary, Canada1,893 contributionsCertainly not very Chinese, but it is a beautiful area, with nice landscaping and interesting houses. The locals apparently think so too, as there were several couples getting their wedding photos taken when we were walking around the area. The fact that it is pedestrian-only really helps with the ambience.
It is interesting to imagine what this would have been like in the early 1900s, when it was a European ghetto.
A great place to wander and spend a few hours.Written August 28, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

So, I visit Huaisheng Mosque the oldest Islamic institutions in China. This place built in Chinese style. I am happy because I visited this place and meet
Chinese Muslims. This place around 17 mins by taxi from my Hotel Marriot Hotel Tianhe Guangzhou. In my opinion it worth visit if you like old Building or Muslim.Written September 18, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

On each of my visits, and even during stormy weather, I have always seen people praying within this temple complex.Written March 1, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- yzwomanHong Kong, China3 contributionsSo very happy to have found this little gem. Such a peaceful area to spend the afternoon. Loads of bridges and tree lined walk ways. Plenty of places to feed the fish. A lot of shady areas to escape the sun.Written August 8, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zorinho88Belgrade, Serbia86 contributionsYou can’t see much while walking down the narrow streets of Shawan but it is very good to replace crazy GZ with ancient village for just a couple of hours. Oyster shell house was a really cool thing to see (I have see one more in Xiaozhou village). I didn’t have a local to explain to me the importance of this place but I guess this is how ancient Chinese used to live.Written November 2, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Saiful H3 contributionsNazrul house keeping is tagged with us.
His behavior is well and amicable. All types of responding during the service period he was responsible and fast responding. Not only his responsibilities but also his sincerity attractive us. Above all all things are nice.Written January 21, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Besides cute YongQingFang street, the Bruce Lee's family mansion was really worth visiting, also visit the Cantonese Opera museum, it's colourful and so interesting!
Oh and the Li Zhi Wan Park down the street is just stunning, with a lake and water way around it, you can take a scenic boat from one end to the other of this area, in the park every afternoon from 2-5 they offer live Cantonese opera performance at the stage, its a must see!
In this area there a lots of Cantonese foods from full restaurants to street vendors, a hand grounded sesame soup dessert is a must try. Right beside the park there is one of the best vegan restaurant in town, first floor serves buffet and second floor severs Zen style a la carte.
Also check out the Xi Guan museum which shows a lot of curtail and history. Check out the RenWei temple too.Written April 5, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Scott M91 contributionsWe really loved our visit here. Hard to believe it is in the middle of the city. You walk in and go back 2,000 years. Amazing to see the craftsmanship and how they engineered the city. Wells that used sand to filter water and dams to control water. We spent about 2 1/2 hours. Lots of English signs to read.Written January 19, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LeonhknyHong Kong, China21,042 contributionsWhampoa Military Academy was pivotal to the development of modern Chinese army and navy. The restored former site, although quite distant from downtown Guangzhou, offers a glimpse of the life of the military cadre. The narrative, largely in Chinese only, heavily favors the communists though. It is a popular local attraction with quite a lot of tour groups.Written October 22, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Scott SBerowra Heights, Australia18 contributionsI visited while on business in Guangzhou, but with a personal connection... Chen Fang was my hreat-great- grandfather. It was fascinating to see my ancestor's home. The architecture and grounds were both impressive, particularly given everything that's happened in China since his death over 100 years ago!Written February 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- LeonhknyHong Kong, China21,042 contributionsPast by this small temple after visiting Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hall. It is a typical Taoist institution with plentiful worshipers. Nearly the whole structure is reconstruction as the original site was demolished during the Cultural Revolution. Nothing particularly interesting for travellers.Written May 12, 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- LeonhknyHong Kong, China21,042 contributionsThis restored building tells the final years of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's political career. Housed in a former cement factory, Sun's last office and residence in Guangzhou was the Nationalist base against northern warlords. The museum is more for local visitors as illustration is mostly in Chinese.
