Guangzhou is a vibrant and creative city with many unique and charming cultural and creative communities.

These communities not only showcase Guangzhou’s unique cultural charm, but also promote the development of local cultural and creative industries.

If you are interested in culture, art and creative design, you might as well go shopping in these cultural and creative communities in Guangzhou, buy a souvenir or two, and have a pleasant day!

1. Yongqingfang Yongqingfang is famous for its unique style of the Republic of China.

The buildings on both sides of the street retain the style of the Republic of China period. There are also some cultural and art institutions and art spaces in the block, which hold various exhibitions, performances and cultural activities.

You can enjoy concerts, drama performances, art exhibitions, etc., and fully feel the charm of culture.

I would like to recommend a few shops that I like: Du Jiao Bookstore is located on the first floor of No. 7 Zhibao Street.

The store is small, but decorated in a warm and cute way.

Walking in is like sitting in a time machine, as if you can find the comic strips you read when you were a child and the posters of your favorite stars.

There is also a lot of information about the history of Guangzhou, which is really a treasure for those who like to know more about Guangzhou!

And they also have some interesting cultural and creative products, and there are blind boxes available for purchase at the door!

Let’s talk about the junk warehouse? One Table Guangzhou, located at No. 7 Yongqing Street, Enning Road (near Bruce Lee’s former residence).

This store is a mini version of a used goods warehouse. The first floor displays many cultural and creative products with Lingnan elements, such as refrigerator magnets, bookmarks, maps, etc. There are many types, which are very suitable for small gifts for friends.

And the checkout is self-service, which is super convenient!

Special snacks are provided on the second floor, where you can sit down and take a rest.

There is also a traditional snack called Bo Zai Cake at the entrance, which is a delicacy not to be missed!

Finally, let’s talk about Zhongshuge, located at No. 227 Enning Road (next door is Heytea).

The decoration style of this place is retro and gorgeous, and it feels very atmospheric.

The first floor is relatively low because it is an old house, but the ceiling is designed with mirrors, which makes the space look larger, but it is a bit dazzling.

But the photo effect is still good, and the store owners like it haha.

The second floor has good lighting and plenty of seats. It's perfect for finding a corner to have a cup of coffee or tea and read a book.

I personally like these places very much, each has its own characteristics.

Reading a second-hand bookstore can take you back to your childhood and find things you read when you were a child; the second-hand warehouse is a treasure place with a dizzying variety of cultural and creative products; Zhongshuge gives people a retro feel, is comfortable and quiet, and is suitable for quiet enjoyment

Reading time.

I highly recommend everyone to go and experience these places!

2. Jingzili Cultural and Creative Community Last week I went to Jingzili Cultural and Creative Community at the west gate of Guangzhou. It is such an amazing place!

This community was originally transformed from an old factory building and is full of cultural and creative atmosphere.

There are also various time-honored snacks and attractions in old Guangzhou around.

Jingzili community provides many colorful city walk routes, which can make you have a great time.

The most important thing is that there are many cultural and creative boutiques!

First of all, there is a place called "Restless Bookstore: Book and Fun". The name is really clever. There are all kinds of interesting products in it, such as strange books, cute postcards, and bags and bags from the trendy brand FINERWORLD.

Small surroundings.

You won’t get tired of shopping there all afternoon!

In addition, there are many small stalls in the community selling various imported cultural and creative products.

There are super exquisite illustration-style stickers and washi tape from Japan, which is dazzling.

Moreover, there are also some unique postcards and decorative paintings of Guangzhou's local culture, which are particularly Guangzhou-like.

You can also collect stamps in the community, which is a great place for people who like to collect.

There are also some super beautiful Chinese-style decorative paintings, which are rare and very attractive.

Jingzili Community is really a place worth visiting!

If you like cultural creation and experiencing local customs, don’t miss it.

Whether it's shopping or appreciating art, this place can meet your needs.

Highly recommend everyone to check it out!

In addition, there is Redtory and Shangji Creative Park, which has relatively little cultural and creative content, but the architecture is very special and is worth a visit!

Redtory: Located in Zhujiang New Town, Guangzhou, it is one of the most famous cultural and creative communities in Guangzhou.

It was once a textile industrial park and has now been transformed into a creative space full of artistic atmosphere.

Many artists, designers and creative companies gather here, and there are various cultural activities such as art exhibitions, creative markets, music performances and so on.

Shangji Creative Park: Located on the former site of Shangji Village in Tianhe District, Guangzhou, it is a design-themed cultural and creative community.

There are many designer studios, design institutions and design exhibition centers here, gathering a large number of design talents and design resources.

The cultural and creative park also holds various design activities and design forums, promoting the development of the design industry.
