My first impression of Guangzhou is

a fast-paced city

However, there is such a place

that hides the slow customs of the old Xiguan.

Shake the boat, Cantonese opera sounds and water town dreams

Litchi Bay Scenic Area

Guangzhou is a famous scenic spot.

it has been praised by scholars since ancient times.

"A bay is green in spring and litchi is red on both sides"

Bian Xiao will take you to feel it today.

The unique Xiguan style of Lizhiwan

The unique Lingnan style

Coming out of the changshou road subway, there is a feeling of returning to the old times. No modern concrete flavor, full of Xiguan flavor.

As soon as I turned the corner from Jinlong West Road, my vision was broadened immediately.

The landscape on both sides of the river not only retains the style of old buildings, but also adds bright flowers and plants to set off.

this is a poetic and elegant place hidden in the noisy city, with a small bridge and flowing water, as if it had strayed into a water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

You can choose to sit quietly by the river on a sunny morning, enjoy the scenery on both sides of the river, put aside the hustle and bustle of the city, and feel the quiet years ~

Litchi Bay Grand Stage

There is a big stage on both banks of the river-Litchi Bay Grand Stage. It is said that there is a Cantonese opera performance from 14: to 17: every day (closed on Friday).

The big stage is built on the edge of the bay, looking from the other side. The voice is sweet and the Guangdong rhyme is melodious. As soon as the old artists speak, it seems that they can take us back to the old times.

Dexing Bridge

Litchi Bay is a small bridge with flowing water and is known as "Little Qinhuai". There are five bridges in litchi Bay: Dexing Bridge, Jinlong Bridge, Daguan Bridge, Shan Zhi Bridge and Yongning Bridge. Among them, Jinlong Bridge and Wenta "one tower and one bridge" echo each other and complement each other.

Wen Pagoda

The Wen Pagoda by the river is a building from the middle Ming Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. Next to the pagoda, there is a towering ancient banyan tree, which is 157 years old and guards the rich historical background of litchi Bay.

On the eve of the college entrance examination, many students came here to pay homage and pray for the champion of the college entrance examination.

Xiao Fang Zhai

was built in the late Qing Dynasty, with exquisite and elegant architecture. Its main building, the ship hall, is built by the water, and its plane shape is similar to that of a ship, so it is named "Little Flower Room".

At the first moment when you step into the door, you are greeted by a strong Lingnan culture, and you are greeted by exquisite paintings.

liwan lake park

next to litchi bay is liwan lake park. The pavilions in the park are hidden among the green trees.

willows, green grass, lakes and the sky reflect each other, giving a panoramic view of the real southern scenery.

Enter from Pantang Road, stroll along the river, take a boat at Wenta Square and Litchi Bay at the entrance of Liang Ancestral Hall, and feel the feelings of Lingnan water town.

while enjoying the lake scenery by boat, time seems to slow down.

The lotus flowers in the lake are in full bloom, which can not help but remind people of the poem, "Lotus flowers are different from the sky, lotus flowers are different from the sky."

The coolness of summer, accompanied by blue sky and white clouds, has been rubbed into this pool.

In Liwan Lake Park, grandparents can be seen everywhere.

Or square dancing, or practicing Tai Chi, or kicking shuttlecock

Make the originally quiet park full of vitality and become the epitome of authentic Guangzhou.

Shi Feirong

is named after the banyan tree on the top of the stone mountain. Its trunk has air roots coiled around the mountain, and its leaves are dancing, with a diameter of more than 5 meters. It is spectacular and has become a rare masterpiece of Lingnan Shishan.

Every brick and tile here seems to be hiding different stories, and countless cleverness are hidden in the slow time. Look! That kitten is looking at you, too.

Xiguan cuisine you can't miss

As the saying goes, "Eat in Guangzhou, taste in Xiguan"

As we all know, Laoxiguan is a famous food symbol in Guangzhou.

you can see various teahouses along the road.

they are all famous time-honored brands in Guangzhou.

in addition, a unique street has been formed in litchi bay.

here, you can not only buy traditional handmade ornaments.

find all kinds of antiques with Jiangnan characteristics.

More importantly, you can eat all the traditional snacks in Guangzhou!

you can eat for a day without spending 5 yuan.

Chengyu Ice Cream Shop

Chengyu Ice Cream Shop is a landscape

Although the sparrow is small, it has all its organs. You can taste many snacks in the No.28 old shop, such as fish skin, shredded chicken wings, double skin milk, pig's foot vinegar and pot stickers.

Pot cakes are so cheap that they have no friends. 5 yuan in other places, 2 or 3 pot stickers, 5 yuan here, 4! The taste is very elastic, smooth and delicious, and it does not stick to teeth.

Zhan Ji

Zhan Ji is also an important shop in this street. Even if it is reported by major TV stations, it also has a plaque. His Ma Tishuang and water chestnut cakes are worth a try.

Tang Wu

Aunt Longjia is enthusiastic. When she sees tourists passing by the booth, she will greet them to eat egg cakes. It doesn't matter even if they don't buy it. The service attitude is five stars.

frozen Ma Tishuang, every bite is full of horseshoe flavor. There are also thin horseshoes, which are refreshing after taking a deep breath. A cup is only three dollars.

Laoxiguan is also the most fireworks.

In Lizhiwan, you can see the epitome of the old town of Guangzhou, taste all kinds of time-honored delicacies and feel the human touch of the old town of Guangzhou.

Even a corner of the street can capture the warmth of life.

In Ren Wei Temple beside Pantang Road, incense has been burning for many years, wishing the hard-working people in this land.

The buildings with Xiguan characteristics are the marks left by the old times. Times are changing, but its beauty will never change.

During the weekend, I walked into litchi Bay with my friends and savored the old Xiguan.
