preface

Unconsciously, 2020 has arrived the spring when everything grows and blooms! If you stay at home for a long time, your heart will belong far away! Guangzhou in spring belongs to literature and art, and all kinds of places with their own filters cannot be too beautiful. In the past few years, my friends asked me to recommend some fun and fresh places if I came to Guangzhou to travel, but I haven't had time to organize them. Now I have compiled some of them to share with Jimei people. Come and watch quickly!

Encounter Shamian| Indulge in European small-town romance

When it comes to which place I like best in Guangzhou, I will definitely answer without hesitation: my favorite is Shamian. The sand surface is surrounded by pearl water, the island is shaded by trees, and the island's European-style buildings form a unique open-air building "museum". It is also known as a wedding resort. It is the dream duck of thousands of girls to wave the skirts of wedding dresses under European-style buildings. Friends who like retro and fresh European styles, don't miss the scenery on Shamian Island. Take a casual photo. It's a blockbuster.

Shamian Street is located in the center of Shamian. It is the widest and busiest street. On both sides of the street, trees are shaded and flowers are in full bloom. Copper statues and leisure chairs can be seen everywhere. The environment is elegant and quiet, making it a good place to relax.

Walking into the sand face, I saw ancient trees towering into the sky and lush. The trees are lined with trees, the singing of birds and the fragrance of flowers, the fresh air, tourists come and go, and on both sides of the Garden Avenue, there are unique European buildings, which are pleasing to the eye and refreshing. Every building has its own charm, and every building is worth tasting carefully! It is permeated with romance and warmth in the elegance, which not only exudes the charming and romantic European style, but also contains the ornamental value of Chinese history and culture.

Shamian has a different atmosphere and pace of life from other places in Guangzhou. Due to traffic control on the island, there are few traffic jams and exhaust pollution. Like European towns, there are many cafes, restaurants and bars on both sides of the streets. The sidewalks are filled with elegant small tables and chairs, and interesting sculptures, which are vividly established in their own part of the world, welcoming tourists from all directions.

The main tourist attractions in Shamian include: White Swan Hotel and Shengli Hotel with European customs,"Shaji" Massacre Monument, Etan Reflecting the Moon, Zhenjiang Ancient Cannon, Landscaping, Shamian Park, Bars, churches, etc. It also provides passengers with high-quality services such as business, sightseeing, leisure, and shopping. It should be said that everything should be. The clear river water surrounds the island with birds singing and flowers fragrant, and quaint European buildings loom in the shade, making the beautiful sand surface the most distinctive "paradise" in southern China!

Not long ago, Liwan District spent 350 million yuan and took 4 months to comprehensively renovate Shamian Island against the Bund. Recently, Shamian Island has finally been "renovated", and the newly renovated Shamian has become more European. It has simply reached its peak in recent years.

Address: Shamian Street, Liwan District, Guangzhou City, Guangdong Province

Small suggestion: Actually, the sand surface is not particularly big, only 0.3 square kilometers. You can swim through it slowly for 1-2 hours. The main reason is that the sand surface is really magical and lively. It is also a good choice to take a walk and see the scenery.

Yongqing square| "Young Master Dongshan, Miss Xiguan"-the most authentic Kansai House-Lingnan Style

There is a saying among Guangzhou people that "Young Master Dongshan, Miss Xiguan" represents the Dongshan of powerful people and Xiguan of wealth. It is a microcosm of Guangzhou's history and culture. Yongqingfang where we went today is a typical representative of Xiguan. Yongqingfang is located on the century-old Enning Road. It is called "the most beautiful old street in Guangzhou" and is a new business card for cultural tourism in Guangzhou's historical Urban area. Speaking of Enning Road, I wonder if everyone is as curious as me about this old street? It is a road with strong Xiguan characteristics. It was born in 1931. It can run side by side with eight large sedan chairs on the road. It has unlimited scenery for a while and is known as "the most beautiful old street in Guangzhou." Enning Road is the essence of Xiguan Arcade Architecture. Enning Road and Longjin West Road are connected to the arcade of the Dishifu and Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Streets, making them the most complete and longest arcade streets in the city, with more than a dozen cultural relics and historic sites distributed. (The Bahe Guild Hall, Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall, Cantonese Art Museum and other cultural and educational monuments are all on this historic road)

Yongqingfang, formerly known as "Yongqing Street", is Guangzhou's first old city renovation project. However, it is different from other old Xiguan houses in that it is Guangzhou's first old city renovation project. It not only retains the charm of old Guangzhou Xiguan, but also injects modern commercial art. It is a creative park where nostalgia and trend coexist.

The renovated Yongqingfang has many hand-painted walls and specialty art shops. If you don't stroll carefully, you can walk around in 20 minutes. It's actually not very big. If it's a detailed culture and a photo shoot, it will take 2-3 hours. There are interesting experiences, delicious food, clear drinks, and B & Bs here. The focus is on going to Bruce Lee's ancestral home, movable type printing experience hall, Cantonese opera museum, and years post office.

Exit the subway station and head towards the Cantonese Opera Art Museum. Exit the subway station and head towards the Cantonese Opera Art Museum. Enning Road, there are many old copper ware stores on the road. The entrance to Yongqingfang is relatively small. When you walk by, you should pay attention to the archway above your head.

former residence of Bruce Lee| It showed the important deeds of Bruce Lee's life, as well as family members, etc., and was a very emotional prodigy of the generation. There is an oversized graffiti wall in front of Bruce Lee's former residence. It feels like taking photos and interacting.

Guangzhou dongshankou| A gathering place for literary and artistic petty bourgeoisie-the most beautiful photo route

They all say "Young Master Dongshan" and "Miss Xiguan". Yongqingfang, where "Miss Kansai" was introduced earlier, is here to explore the "Young Master Dongshan" at Dongshankou.

To talk about where the most literary check-in place in Guangzhou is, I think it must be Dongshankou. Dongshankou is located in Yuexiu District, the old city of Guangzhou. In the Republic of China century, the Xinhepu area where Dongshankou is located was once a gathering place for overseas Chinese, wealthy businessmen and political figures. Many duplex villas built in the early 1920s and 1930s are called "Dongshan Garden House." There are as many as 400 historical buildings, constituting the largest existing modern building complex in Guangzhou that combines Chinese and Western medicine. It is still the most iconic scenic spot in Dongshan. It is also because today, as a literary and artistic holy land and an artistic and cultural space, it has taken root and sprouted here, growing a literary and artistic atmosphere with the characteristics of Dongshankou.

I want to know where the most beautiful photos can be taken at Dongshankou. Stay quickly! The most beautiful street photo route: Yandun Road Xuguyuan Road Peizheng Road Xinhepu.️️

On a genial afternoon, walking among alleys and alleys, passing by small houses, there are old people sitting idle in the dooryards, lazy stretching cats, and the rustling of leaves and sand swaying. These trivial details are all The inadvertent gentleness in time, being in it, makes you forget the hustle and bustle of the city, and your restful heart is slowly smoothed.

There are also many coffee shops, antique shops, cultural and creative shops, and art exhibition halls here. Focus on [Kuiyuan 1992 Gallery Cafe], which is one of the five major overseas Chinese gardens. The first floor is a gallery, the second floor is a designer shop, and the third floor is a cafe, which is the most distinctive contemporary art active place in Guangzhou. (Pay attention to the little fairy who goes to take pictures. You don't allow cameras to take pictures inside.)

Here are famous schools such as Shuqian Road Primary School, Peizheng Primary School, and Guangzhou City No. 7 Middle School. Wu Yifan studied at Guangzhou City No. 7 Middle School. If it's time for class to end, you can see many students carrying schoolbags, who are really full of youth

My favorite is Xinhepu Road. Looking at the old villas in Xinhepu area that are still charming and shaded by trees and these red brick buildings cast mottled light and shadow, it makes people feel like a world away. Especially the bougainvillea on both sides of the river, large patches of red pouring down like a waterfall, which is very prominent here.

Traffic information:

There are many ways to get to Dongshankou

Self-driving/taxi: Navigation "Dongshankou Subway Station", parking can be parked in "Xiaodong Park Lot"/"Guangzhou City Yuexiu District Library Parking Lot" and so on

Subway: "Dongshankou" Station, Exit E/F

Bus: Go to "Dongshankou"/"Dongshan Terminus"/"Xugu Yuan Road"

Dongshankou, Guangzhou is really a place worth spending a day strolling around slowly, taking photos, wandering around, watching exhibitions, and encountering a small shop you like on the corner of a certain street.

The Journey of the West| Guangzhou's first largest European antique warehouse and treasure chest for used objects

"The Journey of the West"-Preface

Those casual encounters and affectionate searches gave birth to and witnessed the birth and growth of "The Journey of the West". The moment I crossed the ocean and met you was the birth of a new story...

"The Journey of the West"-Introduction

Every collection here is selected from antique markets, exhibition halls, and auctions across Europe. It is pure in blood, classical and noble, and full of historical charm. The rich collection tells its uniqueness all the time. With the temperature of time and a strong humanistic atmosphere, it has been passed down after the careful protection of every owner. Time has made them more charming, but today they are still shocking with their extraordinary beauty.

"The Journey of the West"-Evolution

The address of Xiyang Ji is also an old factory in Guangzhou in the 1980s. After a long period of preparation and renovation by the owner, these more than 2W antique and old objects that came across the sea from Europe have a stage to show their charm.

In this warehouse protected by European retro objects, we seem to be able to travel through time and space, return to Europe, which was 9,800 kilometers away during the Industrial Revolution, and feel the exotic retro feelings from the last century.

Each collection seems to tell the story of the historical changes of the world, and they also expect everyone who is destined to create a new story with it.

"Western Journey"-Environment

There are two floors open here and there are various old objects from different eras.

Most of the first floor are domestic objects from the 1930s and 1960s: hanging paintings, tableware, crystal cups, ancient clocks, vases, pianos, record players, etc.

The second floor is mainly composed of large furniture: sofas, seats, clocks, etc. The space on the second floor is more open. When the lights are turned on, the warehouse's own slightly decadent and old temperament is more integrated with antiques, making the photos full of mystery.

The most shocking thing about the warehouse is the wall clock with an entire wall. According to the owner, these wall clocks are all purely mechanical gravity clocks, carefully selected collections of complete appearance in the European antique market.

Many antiques have price tags, and some cups and plates are moderately priced.

This treasure place hidden in the old warehouse is waiting for you to explore. The oversized space, the industrial style decoration, the elegant and quiet temperament of European and Chinese old things will really amaze you!

Guangzhou| Shiweitang Railway Station with a sense of age

The section of the railway where Shiweitang Railway Station is located was once an important route connecting Guangzhou and Foshan. This is the starting point of the "Guangzhou-San" Railway started by the American Hexing Company in 1901 and was officially put into use in 1903. Shiweitang used to be crowded with people and had a huge passenger flow, but over time, it slowly lost its passenger transport function. Now only a few sporadic freight trains enter and leave the station. Although today's Shiweitang is not abandoned, it has given rise to new functions and has become a nostalgic place for external photography. There is only one piece of railway track, and it feels like there is always an endless journey and an endless story.

On the long railway tracks, the story is taken far away, but here it retains its most original appearance and becomes a unique scenery!

Shiweitang Railway Station has attracted a large number of photography enthusiasts with its nostalgic and retro style, literary and artistic, and fresh atmosphere. The simple railway tracks and platforms are very suitable for photography enthusiasts!

Many building platforms here have been demolished, but many railway tracks are still left ~ It is located in the southwest of Guangzhou City, opposite the corner of Liwan Laocheng District across the river. According to records, this railway station has a history of 115 years and is one of the oldest stations in Guangdong.

In addition, the nearby area is the railway station employee accommodation area, nostalgic grocery stores, train tracks, etc., as well as the houses in the alleys are also a good place to shoot retro and nostalgic blockbusters!

This is also the site selection of Deng Ziqi's MV "Single Track", which once made it popular and became a shooting location for Internet celebrities.

imaging time：

You have to pay attention to time when going to Shiweitang to take photos. The light is too dazzling during the day, and the best time is before 9 a.m. or in the evening. At this time, the natural light was soft, and the atmosphere of quiet years suddenly came out.

Photography Tips

This is the arrival point of the freight train. The train will park here, which is relatively safe because the train is very slow before leaving and when it arrives.

Old trains are very suitable for emotional films, magazine films, and snacks, and the release rate is very high.

When shooting a station, if you want to have a retro feel, you can bring an old-style suitcase. Appropriate props will add a lot of points. You can also use the coming and going neighborhoods to enter the mirror or use the old architectural scenery to make the picture more humanistic.

Nowadays, only a small number of freight trains are in operation and it is relatively safe to take photos. There will be no trains passing by often: even though the trains in operation do not take many photos, young brothers and sisters must pay attention to safety!!! When taking pictures, pay attention to the train behind you and don't joke about your life!

There are many scenes: container, ins minimalist pure white Internet celebrity style, European and American punk style, Morocco style, Nordic style, Korean style fresh, pink girl dessert station, artistic design stairs, etc.!

My personal favorite points are the European and American punk style and the recessed shape of the street zebra crossing characteristic light signs is really touching!!

Moreover, there are many Internet celebrity cafes gathered in the factory, including Wonderfuldays, Cute Meet Coffee, and NC BLOSSOM. When you are tired from taking pictures, go in for afternoon tea and take a rest. It is very suitable for taking pictures with your best friends and friends ~

Opposite is Huangpu Ancient Port, where there are many delicious food. A small food street is waiting for you to sigh! Go quickly!

Those who like to take photos and explore Internet celebrity stores can check in while there is no charge!! I believe that it will soon become a new generation of Internet celebrities!!

I will continue to work hard to find more good places to update to my friends.
