In late March 2021, while traveling to Guangdong, I visited Yongqingfang in Guangzhou. The photo was taken in Yongqingfang.

"Yongqingfang" is adjacent to Shamian and is said to be undertaken by Vanke, a government-led enterprise. It is Guangzhou's first old city renovation project. When we went, the entrance of Yongqingfang was still under renovation.

There are also many small but beautiful places in Guangzhou, and the Yongqingfang I visited this time is one of them. The photo was taken in Yongqingfang.

Yongqingfang is located on Enning Road, which has a history of 100 years. Enning Road was once the core area of southern China during the late Qing Dynasty. Later, after the founding of New China, it experienced decline. In recent years, due to the government's cultural transformation and planning of the neighborhood, Enning Road has gradually entered our vision again as a cultural and historical attraction. Yongqingfang, after design and transformation, has undoubtedly become an example of artistic beauty. The picture shows a brief introduction and guide map of Yongqingfang.

Walking into Yongqingfang, you will find old Guangzhou characteristic arcade, old neighbors sitting on the street with big sunflower fans, and children running all over the street. Arcade and Cantonese have a strong humanistic atmosphere.

There are several small alleys inside, and on both sides of the alleys are some creative shops and studios.

On both sides of the alley are some creative shops and studios, where tourists can also participate.

There are also some small shops selling specialty products on both sides of the alley. This is a small shop selling Macau snacks and souvenirs.

There are some red or blue brick houses here, as well as signs of Laoxiguan Railway Station. Many people take photos here.

Many places in Yongqingfang are still under renovation.

Looking down is Mashi Road, looking up is black tiled roofs, blue brick houses, Manchuria windows, and gate...

Walking along the alley, we were gradually attracted by the Xiguan Grand House on both sides of the alley. It has stone feet, water mill and green brick high walls, dark wooden cages, magnificent and colorful Manchurian windows, and lush green clusters. The dilapidated old rooftops and sun railings are quite elegant and quiet.

Many buildings have signs of traditional Guangzhou buildings.

Some old houses are arranged into quiet, Zen teahouses or restaurants.

The second and third floors of the residential house still perform their original residential functions. A building combines tea culture with the ancient local architectural culture of Guangzhou, becoming a landmark that attracts popularity without affecting the indigenous people.

This is an exhibition hall for movable type printing. Because it was renovated on the basis of an old neighborhood, the exhibition hall is not big. It only has one floor and can only accommodate a dozen people at a time. However, there is still an endless stream of tourists coming here to visit it.

Tourists who come in to visit almost always do the same thing-spell their names in rows and rows of "movable type". As one of the four great inventions of ancient China, movable type printing has become a sustenance for people to trace history in today's era of science and technology due to its brilliant historical achievements. Each of the "movable type" displayed in the exhibition hall is a perfect reproduction of the beauty of technology, reflected in its aesthetic value and the worship of art.

Yongqingfang also has a small fire truck

If you are tired from walking, you can sit down and check your phone.

Further inside, you will see Bruce Lee's ancestral home and other historical buildings. Although most of them have been around for a hundred years, the buildings have been largely preserved due to the protection measures in place. The picture shows the entrance to Bruce Lee's ancestral home.

Yongqingfang retains the heritage of traditional culture, bringing tranquility in prosperity. It's also great to come and relax and take photos. No wonder everyone from literary and artistic youth to backpackers who come from afar choose to leave their mark of Guangzhou here.
