The recommended one-day tour routes and gourmet routes are as follows, mainly concentrated in the west of Liwan. Basically, you don't need to be afraid of the sun when walking between arcades.
It is said that Xiguan has been a prosperous place since ancient times. Where to do business? Yes, it floats up and down. To say that in Guangzhou, a good place to press the road, Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street may be more tasteful than Beijing Road, and the arcades along the way are also very amorous.
As time goes by, Shangxiajiu still plays the role of business. There are many wholesale markets here: the paper wholesale market in Guangfu Middle Road, the cloth market in Shibafu Road and the hairdressing market in changshou road. There are also many small shops. It is very good to buy groceries and specialties from the north and the south.
Shangxiajiu Pedestrian Street is divided into Shangjiu Road, Xiajiu Road and Shifu Road. The last section of this road is the most beautiful, because it brings together many delicious foods.
Guangzhou restaurant
Address: No.2 Wenchang South Road, Liwan District
Like Taotaoju, Guangzhou Restaurant is an old brand that has been around for 100 years. Its practices and tea varieties are more traditional. Although not stunning, the product is stable and has the most authentic Cantonese flavor. Shrimp dumpling king, Redmi roll, chicken feet with soy sauce and beef balls can all be tasted.
Nanxin milk dessert expert
Address: No.47 Shifu Road
Nancy is the most popular shop in this street. This 60-year-old shop must move out. The decoration of this shop is very old and wide, and there is an atmosphere before eating. Double skin milk and ginger milk are a little thick, and goat fat manna is very fresh. I think the most delicious is coconut milk sago series, which is thick, refreshing and delicious.
Lian sweet tea house
Address: No.67 Shifu Road
Lianxianglou has many branches in Guangzhou, but Shangxiajiu branch is located at 1889, which is a veritable time-honored brand. Although you can eat it on the second floor of Lianxianglou, the taste is quite ordinary. You can go shopping on the first floor and buy some handwritten letters. After all, it was originally made of cake. Red bean paste is soft, and walnut crisp is good.
Liwan Mingshijia
Address: No.99 Shifu Road
This shop brings together the most delicious food in Xiguan. A meal is equivalent to punching in several restaurants. Besides Nanxing dessert mentioned above, there are Wu Zhou, Ou Wonton Noodles and so on. How can all kinds of famous foods in Xiguan be absent, such as pork feet ginger, Dechang bacon pancakes, Shangtangniu Samsung and so on. The taste has not changed for decades, and the price is also very humanized.
Linlin giblet Wu
Address: Shifu Road 140
Linlin giblet has been doing business nearby for decades. The ingredients are fresh and soft, and the sour radish made by the boss can relieve boredom. The disadvantage is that there is no place to sit in the shop, so you can only eat with it. Go further on Shifu Road and you will find Enning Road, the most beautiful old street in Guangzhou. Together with Shangxiajiu, it forms the longest arcade street in Guangzhou, which is especially suitable for taking pictures.
Historic sites along the street There used to be a Daguan River here. There are many businesses and trades along the river. The people who live there are all rich celebrities. Therefore, many historical sites have been left behind, such as Zhan Tianyou Memorial Hall and Bruce Lee's former residence.
Bruce Lee's former residence is worth a visit. It is a typical structure of Xiguan dwellings. Due to historical reasons, only 10 of these rooms are reserved. You can go and see where Master Xiguan lives.
Yongqingfang
Yongqingfang used to be an ancient street. After renovation, this house is still an old house with Lingnan characteristics, but it has injected youthful vitality and become a new landmark of Enning Road. There are shops along the way, so you can choose a few you like to buy gifts and take the memory of Yongqingfang home. Or sit down for a drink and enjoy the beautiful view of the red brick house. Yongqingfang has a punch-in place worth taking pictures-Cantonese Opera Museum. But you have to go upstairs from the post office to the platform on the second floor to see such a wonderful angle.
Zhongshuge
Zhong has chain stores in Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou and other cities, but their philosophy is not to repeat, so each clock has a different experience.
The house on Enning Road has a small area. Glass was installed on the ceiling to increase the viewing area. It has a magical atmosphere. The wall is made of fried wing houses and wooden materials, which are combined with the diamond pattern on the floor to render the Lingnan style.
Bookstore is also a way to convey the city's personality, so if you walk through Enning Road, you can go to Zhongshuge and have a coffee break on the second floor.
Wei xing tong pu
Xiguan bronze ware is also the unique skill of Guangzhou old artists.
The rich people who used to live in Enning Road used to regard bronze as a status symbol. A good bronze ware can only be shaped after thousands of manual knocks. Xiguan's copper fighting method was once exported overseas, and Enning Road was a bronze street at that time.
Although bronze ware is no longer as popular as before, people who like it still exist. The century-old Weixing Copper Store is a persistent store.
After comparing the two bronze shops, it is found that Wei Xing's bronze wares are solid in materials and fine in workmanship, which is worthy of the boss's insistence on non-bargaining. The disadvantage is that the styles are more and more traditional and there are not many choices.
Other scenic spots
Another must-see attraction in Liwan is the artificial island sand surface. Shamian used to be an Anglo-French concession. Crossing the bridge seems to be a small European town. There are 150 western-style buildings here. Whether you come during the day or at night, they all have their own customs.
You don't need to look at any route strategy to play sand noodles. Everything in front of us is beautiful. Notre Dame de Paris, Shamian Cathedral, the former site of HSBC and the Red House. The beautiful scenery here is made up of time, and it is also a good place to take pictures.
Starbucks in Shamian can also be used as a scenic spot. It adds arch design according to local conditions, which complements the customs on the island.
If you want to live in Shamian, White Swan, the first five-star hotel in China, is on the island. The three restaurants in the hotel are all Michelin restaurants with excellent geographical location.
